Page 6 : Options: almost everything is standard Following its debut six months ago, the new BMW M5 has already made its mark, garnering raves like this from Automobile’s January ‘06 All-Stars awards: “Having vanquished other sport sedans, BMW decided to make the latest M5 a supercar.“ Now, with all the power, technology and road mastery of the M5 packed into the elegantly sporty 6 Series Coupe, the new M6 makes yet another statement for BMW and BMW M: lighter and lower-built than the M5, possessed of an even sportier attitude. Customers will look at both, feel their preferences, make their choice. Either way, they get the full measure of BMW M’s performance capabilities and technological sophistication. In a comparison test of these two M masterpieces, Road & Track (February ‘06) put it this way: “If you need space, the M5 is the one. For those who don’t, the M6 performs ever so slightly better according to the numbers.“ As for the obvious differences in the two models‘ styling – the M5 a 4-door, 5-passenger Sedan, the M6 a more intimately packaged 2+2-passenger Coupe – the magazine found that out on the world’s highways and streets, the M6 draws more attention: No surprise given the M6’s more dramatic sportiness, and its higher price ($96,795 including destination charge) implies a greater degree of exclusivity. In the end, “M5 or M6?“ is a matter of priorities; R&T concluded, “truth is that you’ll be hard-pressed to find two more competent, confidence-inspiring cars for high-speed traveling.“ Fortunately, BMW M offers both of them.
The new M6 has been on European roads for several months; production of the U.S. model began on March 1, 2006 in BMW’s Dingolfing, Germany plant and M6s begin appearing in U.S. BMW centers in May. M6 vs. 650i Coupe: the BMW M treatment Like all BMW vehicles bearing the “M“ logo, the M6 has been developed by BMW M, the BMW subsidiary for racing and high-performance automobiles. BMW M’s approach to developing its vehicles is famous, well defined and consistent; the following listing describes how the M6 differs from the 6 Series Coupe from which it is derived: Performance & efficiency
