M6 has more curves ??

From a profile point of view is it just me or does the front fender of the m6 where the M logo (fish gill) are located just have more depth into the curve as it molds into the doors.

The f13's are very flat from the side, just want to see if anyone else noticed that? It's not something I noticed at first when I bought my F13 but kinda bugs me now wish there was a way to swap it. Thoughts?

Any other differences?
Front (m sport and M seem very similar minus the fog lights)
Rear (m has the spoiler lip and the exhaust)
Top (m has the rooftop aerodynamic but no moonroof)

not saying I want to copy the M and badge a fakie but the body molding of the side is almost a deal breaker. I like some curves like my women =P


here's the comparison

If memory serves, the only common body panels between the M6 and 640/650 are the doors, glass, hood and boot lid (although the M6 has an added spoiler).

The M-sport is the same as the non M-sport with different front/rear fasciae and side skirts (all of which are different on the M6).

The M-sport is fundamentally a cosmetic package whereas the M6 is almost an entirely different vehicle.

A quick check of realoem.com shows the front fenders and doors to be different part numbers, but the rest of the car such as rear doors, side frame, hood (only did a quick check) is the exact same. It looks like the crease is more pronounced on the line coming down from the front fender into the front doors with the M6 (to me).

The crease is more pronounced because the fender has more flare. Different roof and fascias too.
