The "larger" appearance/stance of the M6 GC, is mostly an optical illusion stemming from its different proportions (i.e. its exaggeratedly-lower greenhouse relative to its side flanks).

The 650i GC's wheelbase is 116.9" vs 116.7" for the M5.

650 GC total length is 197.2" vs 193.5" for the M5.

Front overhang (starting from the front wheel centerline) for the 650 GC is 37.0" vs 32.9" for the M5.

Rear overhang (starting from the rear wheel centerline) for the 650 GC is 43.3" vs 43.7" for the M5.

Therefore, M6 GC is 3.7" longer than M5, with a 4.1" bigger front overhang (in large measure attributable to having a slightly longer and more drooping front hood/bonnet).
