I thought the F06 M6 being derived from the F13 M6 would be on the sport/hardcore end of things compared to the F10. But it's good to see that BMW is giving the edge to the F10. It seems that BMW is expanding their product line in more of a continuum of sorts: F13 for 'sport' minded at one end, F10 for the 'practical' sport minded at the other, and the F06 for the comfort and blend between the former two.

Moreover, to those who say the F06 M6 is a waste of money, it was never intended to be a competitor to the F10 M5. I see it as an added bonus to those who are slightly more affluent and seek an alternative to the enthusiast's choice of heritage-rich M5. This is further supported by the fact that in the review above, BMW M themselves have "softened" the throttle mapping and chassis for what in my mind would be reasons for aiming the GC at a more mature crowd.

Just my 2 cents.
