I'm not trying to convince anybody or prove that M6 is the best but when the comparison between two cars is the subject, I would search to see what's the actual difference and the best way to have the reasonable comparison is to see the result by "one source" and consider apple to apple.
Dinan as a well-known tuner has already put both cars on dyno. The 2015 B6 is claimed (by manufacturer) 540 HP and has been measured (by Dinan) as 540 HP. Exactly what manufacturer claims. http://www.dinancars.com/product/d44...ries&mid=1234/ On the other side Dinan has performed the same test for M6 and has measured 618 HP (compare to 560 HP manufacturer claimed). http://www.dinancars.com/product/d44...ries&mid=1157/ I'm not claiming these numbers are accurate, but I can accept S63tu on M6 generates over 70 HP more than 2015 B6. I will wait to see the result for 2016 B6 which is claimed 600 HP and I think the result must be very closed to the manufacturer claim. If that's the case then B6 engine is not generating any power more than M6 while for sure (and we can confirm) is much heavier than M6. And as I mentioned before the AWD car with this weight cannot perform better than RWD because of "physics". There are many similar cars out there can be evaluated (and has been already evaluated) by different magazines and professional drivers. B6 GC cannot perform better than RS7 or CLS63 or even E63 and it's proved that M6 perform much better than those cars EXCEPT 0-60 or short distance acceleration. As far as 0-60 numbers we have discussed a lot and there are many threads all over the place in this forum. S63tu is highly underrated by BMW and the numbers on website are not accurate. There are many magazines performed different tests and result shows M6 is much faster than what is claimed by manufacturer (the same as power and torque) here is one of the reports for M6 GC by C&D : Curb weight: 4395 lb Zero to 60 mph: 3.7 sec Zero to 100 mph: 8.0 sec Zero to 130 mph: 13.0 sec Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 4.0 sec Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.1 sec Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.8 sec Standing ¼-mile: 11.9 sec @ 124 mph http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...pe-test-review

Also in the end, here's something to mull over.. The Alpina is a custom tuned car, take the M6 and throw a custom tune in it like BMS and you have a 700whp car, or as Alpina would say, a 800hp car and that's game over folks. ///M |
