They are two completely different cars for completely different markets. The M6 is the bmw king of the hill, and those that love bmw will envy it. The AM is for someone who cares about the prestige of the marque and the status that comes with it. With the M6, you get rediculous, over the top performance and a level of technology and luxury that can be appreciated, while in the AM, you get rediculous luxury and enough performance to not feel inadequate.

But, you understand that you cant buy a new AM for $30K and you wont see them on every street corner, but we cannot say that for BMWs, and regardless of our opinions on the Roundel, it will never have the status of an AM. It is certainly much more prestigious by any objective observer and no matter how much bmw trys to charge for its vehicles, it will never be able to attain the class level of AM, its just the way it is.

Now Im not sure where you're going with the Cayman/1M comparison, they are again very different cars, both have their strenghts and weaknesses. Neither are prestigious though from an objective point of view.
