Space and comfort comparison to an M5

[uhn2000]

Sat in an M6GC today, San Marino Blue with Premium, Extended Black, and B&O - its at BMW Toronto. Sweet ride for about $145CA, about 20k more then an equally spec'd M5. I found the cockpit to be a really cool spaceship feeling versus the F10 is much more spacious and bright - I kind of liked the tighter feel. I did however find the seats not as comfortable or secure but maybe they can be adjusted. I am 6'3 and head space in the front and rear were no issue but leg room was - doubt I will be carrying many 6'3 people in the back with me. Thinking of selling the M5 next year and grabbing one of these rides - either new or used. I know the LCI is 2015 so will see what happens.. might be able to switch before?

Not sure what it was but I was very inspired by the car.. its priced a little high for what its offering but I think I would pay the premium. How did the Panamera stack up for any of you that did the cross shop?

Well I got one up on both of you....Im 6"5 lol...But in all seriousness, my dad has an m6gc and although I fit great in front, not great at all in the back...the m5 is far superior in the head room department.
