Of course personal preference on everything. So maybe you meant to say "to "me" the M6 is the most beautiful and fastest"
I hate to keep correcting you Doug, but it clearly states that it is "said" to accelerate to 60 in 3.7.. No actual numbers. The M6 gran coupe tested at 3.5 in an actual test. Plus the B6 makes less power than the M6. Fact is, it was built out of a 650, I would still take an M6 over it. Read directly from the article:

Power in the B6 xDrive Gran Coupe comes from the 4.4-liter V-8 engine fitted to the 650i Gran Coupe, but a series of modifications including a custom twin-turbocharging system lifts output to 540 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque. For reference, the stock 650i is producing 445 hp while a stock M6 produces 560 hp (575 hp with a Competition Package), placing the Alpina in between.

The B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is said to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Top speed is listed at 198 mph.
