Whenever I drive my GTR, I get a whole lot of people looking at it and some even take pictures. No one has ever taken pictures of my M6. No one seems to even care that it’s a M6. To add insult to injury, I had an old lady driving a minivan tried to jump the gap in front of me the other day at the stop light!!! I am yet to have someone try to race me whenever I’m driving my GTR.
But we were talking about BMW vs Mercedes, and he made a general statement about all BMWs versus a specific product line.

I'm not debating your GTR comment. I can see a 2014 GTR with similar mileage as my M6 costs around $8k more on list. But I would say the GTR is more of a Corvette and R8 competitor. However, after 2015, GTR sells dipped significantly to less than 1000 per year.
