I was not happy with the trunk when I first got the car, but now I'm totally fine with pulling down hard on the grab slot. It's easy. In regards to the soft close doors, I've never once utilized them. I just close the door the same way I've always closed a car door.

BTW, with those gains in power and torque you may be able to beat 650i with N63 engine and not N63tu

I appreciate the point made by the OP, but I'm so happy with the other aspects of the car that the lack of the trunk-closing feature is far down on the list of my priorities. For example, I like doing my own work on my cars as much as possible, and I hate the small opening that they give you to remove the oil filter through the metal skid plate. I would rather have a larger opening there than a self-closing trunk. Different strokes for different folks (or should I say different button-pushing features for our individual personalities ). |

Since we always agree with each other, I disagree with you this time
Soft close doors if not a must, is one of the best futures any car can have! I have always had issue (since I was a teenager) when people wanted to close the doors of my cars. Sometimes they closed it very soft and I had to re-close it and sometimes they closed it hard and I would get angry what the hell they were doing. I recall one time when one of my friend closed the door too hard and the door lock was broken... I was almost killing him

I am with you 100%, as I feel the same way. Pet peeve having my doors slammed. Really don't understand how anybody would not like the soft close feature. A true, ultra-luxury touch. Very few cars on the market offer this. And of course if you don't want to avail yourself of the feature -just slam away and override the soft close. Does make me chuckle when guys comment about leave it off and save the weight. Kidding right? About 2 pounds total. Then why not leave off the power folding mirrors, motorized roundel camera, sunroof/rear window power sunshades. 20 way power seats, B & O motorized center speaker, cooled seats, HUD. I could go on. This is a luxury GT, want something light get the new Miata. |

The whole purpose of these forums is to provide customer feedback to the manufacturer. I'm 100% sure BMW has someone checking us out...
With that said: Dear BMW, Please make sure next 6 series has a FULL sliding Sun Roof! Thank you! |

External sliding sunroofs look ridiculous. I'm glad we don't have one. I'd rather have the larger glass like it is. |

Of course the will listen to me! Let's see, i've bought a 3 series, an M4 and now a 6 series... Oh, and my dealer knows to call me when they get their first 2017 M6, so i'm pretty sure they appreciate my business... And why are you even THINKING about "external sliding sunroofs"? GHETTO! I know that the way it is right now it would never slide back internally, but maybe they can make it smaller? It will be more practical. Just a thought... |

Read my post again. We agree. I said: "External sliding sunroofs look ridiculous."
But I also said "I'd rather have the larger glass". If they made a coupe's sunroof small enough to slide under the sheet metal, given the current roofline, it would look like an aftermarket cut-in from Pep Boys. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about any of this when my M5 arrives. Although I have never had issue with the sunroof in my 650. And if you are really thinking about a next gen M6, forget the sunroof. I'm sure BMW will keep the CF roof. BTW. I'm on my 5th BMW and some posters here are on their 20th or more, just saying.... |

Unlike the M4, the F13 M6 cannot be optioned with a sunroof instead of the CF roof. Although that could change on the next generation.
I'm on about my 20th car, but that's going back to when I was 16 and also includes company cars and my wife's cars. Some dudes around here are over 100 cars, but it's not just a matter of age, it's about desire, priorities and money. I'd be a little concerned about Maserati quality. But a lot can change in two years. |

My suggestion is to do your own research. Read the car reviews on line. Check out Edmunds and JD Power. And most important check out the Maserati forums. There, you should get the reality about owning a Maserati.
IMO, you get more for your money with a BMW. The only thing a Maser gets you is exclusivity. |

Oh... Sorry buddy.
I was in shelly BMW today with my friend to pick up his car. I saw almost the same car. M4 Black/Sakhir Orange with MT. I test drove the car and I enjoyed it. I don't know why people are complaining about the exhaust sound but to me it was awesome. Car was not as fast as M6 (I test drove in Sport+/MDM), but more fun to drive. I wish I had one more spot in my garage...

I hit that wall behind the car and bounced back to the middle of the road... I live in ny so there was salt and sand on the road and I couldn't stop... That's why I got an awd... Rwd in NY are SO dangerous... At least 425hps rwd... Cause I had a rwd 325 for 6 years and although it was annoying getting stuck in driveways and fish tailing all over I was able to manage it... That was my first M car... And I completely fell in love with it... But I refuse to get a rwd car ever again... I don't want to die... |
