I wouldn't mind a launch control button in missile launch style. a little red button protected by a plastic cover somewhere, so that people buying it just because its the most expensive BMW don't accidentally hit it.
But I also think BMW wants it to be a little complicated so people don't go doing it at every stop light... |

As for the comments about the M6's 0-60 time possibly being in the 3s...was there ever any doubt? The F10 M5 has been clocked under 4 seconds (Motor Trend got 3.7) so the M6 should be at least a tenth quicker than that. Is it a GT-R killer? No, of course not. |

My friend blew out a rear end on his M and the first data they pulled off the log was the exact number of times he used launch control. They then used this info to deny a warranty claim. Use this info as you see fit :-) |

It's frustrating that launch control requires so many steps to engage.
Roll down window Pull parking brake Turn left signal on Tube radio to 88.2 Tap the dashboard three times Solve a Rubik's cube It's activated

I have no doupts that the M6 will run consistent mid 3 second 0 to 60 runs. It's a true super car (with comfy seats!). |

I wish someone would tell these guys about the M1 and M2 buttons, pre program them and then you dont have to switch off everything manually before launch. |

2-Car needs to be on normal operating temp 3- Driver needs to follow proper instruction Note: Once the LC used, driver needs to drive another 6 mile before he can use it again. God knows if these guys have used the LC b4 this video to be prepared for the show thinking all would run smooth while video 😃

I don't want to start an other debat but member DreamerM6 seems to have been lucky quite a few times against 3 differents 2012 GT-Rs, I'd like to have your opinion on this!

I just speak from my experience owning a 13 GT-R and a 13 M5. Both are blindingly fast, but built with a different purpose. No way the M5/M6 is faster than a 12+ GT-R.

If you take a look at my baseline prior to modding the GT-R, it put's out a significant amount of power to the wheels, and it's lighter.

Also, the '12 GTR has 530hp compared to 545hp for the '13 models, right? The GTR has an almost 3900 Lb. curb weight to the M6 coupe being around 4244 lb. The M6 is "rated" at 560hp but many have been discovering that BMW have been under-rating their HP figures and it seems that many are closer to the 600hp number - taking into account percentage loss etc. after dyno runs.. From a dig, I can see the advantage going to the GTR but from a roll (40 or 50mph) I don't think the '12 GTR has the advantage. There is no disputing the raw and amazing power of the GTR but it seems there have been recent disputes to how well the M6 coupe can handle itself, when up against the '12 GTR - not on a track of course Bottom-line both cars are in different segments so you can't really compare them 100% but from the few vids of M6 coupe vs GTR that are out there, it's not too shabby for the M6... Either way, you have a couple of fantastic cars!

Yeah but apart the fact that they are built for different purpose, in a straight line, from a rolling start, is the M6 really slower then the GT-R because on paper it shouldnt be!? One has around 460WHP and weight 1730kg and the other has around 500whp and weight 1925kg, it should at least be really close!
