HELP! M6 GC or Vert?
So I went to the dealership today to what I thought would be finalize my M6 Convertible purchase, and I decided to drive an M6 GC for shits and giggles. Damn is that a good car. I'm seriously considering backing out of the M6 vert for the GC. What do I do?!??!??!

Very different cars but I would stick with a coupe either two or four doors for the rigidity.

I traded my Vert for the GC. Different drives. Just a matter of which one you prefer.

Dealer called me when they got their first M6 GC. They configured it with individual paint, leather and trim plus a B&O system. Loved the combo so decided to make the switch. I also think the GC has better proportions and the drive seems lighter and handling a bit more balanced.

Congrats Jettie, please post pics!
I test drove the vert and GC and IMO the GC was a much better car. Maybe because the last 3 cars I had were convertible and I'm sick of them, so maybe I'm just a bit irrational. At the end of the day I liked the GC Because it felt stronger in the corners and also gave me an option to have people in the back seat. |

I have an 2013 M6 Vert and I love it. I also love the look of the M6 GC. It's beautiful.
I sat in a GC and the only thing that bothered me -- a little -- was that it's very low and hard to get in for a four door coup. I know the vert is equally low, but I expect that from a vert. |

I had the GC (2013) for 4 months...and sold it for the Vert. Reasons:
- GC is nice, but it's a sedan - GC is low...harder to get in and out of - GC sunroof does NOT slide back...just pops up - GC Ride was kind of hard Vert: - took 10 yrs off my life...alright 20 yrs! - more fun to drive - can hear the exhaust throat when cornering with acceleration - The B&O sound system with the top down is really exciting Good luck with your decision....either way you can't go wrong. |

Flip a coin!
I love the M6 vert it's a great touring car and all around fun car to drive. However something about the M6GC that just draws me in every time I see one or am around one. that car is amazing! but at the end of the day totally different cars. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Just need to weigh them out and see at the end of the day which car makes more sense to you.

The M6 GC does not have a sunroof at all. I didn't think my M6 GC is much lower than my M6 vert.
