The M6 is too big of a car for my taste.

What got me in my first ///M car 15 years ago is the combination of a track capable and (almost) ready car that can also serve a practical daily driver (with a decent amount of luxury). My M3/2 have served me extremely well in that respect.

I did test drive a CP M6 (the 575hp version) and found it mesmerizingly quick above 100mph. That car pulls likes there is no tomorrow. What worries me the most is the operating cost for track use. Such a heavy car with that much horsepower must go through consumables (tires/brakes/fuel) at a very fast rate. Further, I also found the M6 very heavy and not very nimble compared to my E92 at the time.

The M6 is an amazing car, but the M4 is better suited for my specific needs.
