Those who are looking forward to the M6 grand coupe. Forget it. the proportion won't be the same. It'll be a freaking boat.

BTW, 560hp 500 lb-tq 2-door coupe can only do 0-60 in 4.2 sec? Must be a misprint!!!

Also, I wish it was a bit lighter, somewhere in the 3700 lbs range.
First of all it's 0-62 in 4.2 which you take 0.2 off for 0-60. So 0-60 in 4.0 as a BMW "official" time is really really good because they are very conservative with times. For example, the "official" M3 0-60 is 4.5 with DCT, and it really is like a 4.1.

Also, I think 4000 lbs is pretty light for that big of a car. Remember the M3 is from 3600-3700lbs and this car is MUCH bigger.


On another note, I absolutely love the car! And holy 410mm front rotors for the carbon ceramic brakes!!
