What is "better" about M6 GranCoupé over M5 Sedan:

+ coupé-ish style
+ frameless side windows
+ 4 seats
+ CF roof

If it is worth the extra 25K € overthe M5 is another question. But I guess when you can afford a +100K € car, that extra is not a big deal. The M6 GC will maybe be more rare on the roads. Maybe BMW could just have built an even better looking F10? But F07 does look sportier than F10.

Why a RHD test car though?

Be interesting to do a poll and see of the people pumped about how it looks, who's dropping $120k of their hard earned money on this car?

Who's putting one on order?

The M6GC is a whopping 11 lbs heavier than the M5 (i.e. 1950kg vs 1945kg). It's even a staggering 55 lbs heavier than the M6 Coupe, which weighs 1925kg.

My M6GC weight comments are intended as sarcasm (i.e. as a retort against all those naysayers who were certain the M6GC would be so much heavier and slower than the F10 M5).

No one wants to talk about how come this $120k+ car still has crappy brakes?? Why no fixed calipers in the rear???

TTG · 12-31-2012, 08:51 PM

So how does this compare MB CLS AMG...... Which I believe is the real deal..... To me this thing is nothing but another copy of MB design....

Whatever......

I still think the design of it is great; but for some reason they made the mistake of adding 2 doors that shouldn't be there

Direct compete with Panamera S

They can't get the parking brake to work in a fixed caliper.

Fixed 4-pot and separate parking binder and call it a day. Just saying.
