no kidding, if you live in GSP the Zs get old, I do see an M coupe on my way to work that is sweet though! if your getting a bimmer get an M of some type or the new 6 series.
I saw the review of the new M6 on Motorweek. 0-60 in 4.4 secs. and the 1/4 mile in 12.27 at 117mph. The car weighed in at 3400lbs. They commented that is was considerablly heavier than last year's model, but still handled the track well. Price as tested...................................

I'm sorry but I'm just not feeling it. Like the Z4, its grossly misproportioned and the lines are hacked and clumsy. Its top-heavy and looks like a VW bug on steroids. The headlights have droopy eyebrows and the rear fenders look like a black woman's hips.
In my always-humble opinion.

I know the M5 has a 500 hp V10 that can be tuned down via I-Drive to 400 hp. The key difference I believe between the M5 and the M6 is the M5 is a 4 door sedan, while the M6 is a 2 door coupe. I also believe the hp is much higher on the M6, but I could be wrong.

The M5 & M6 have 500HP. When not in "M" mode, the engine turns out 400HP. The M5 and M6 produce the same HP and same torque, the difference is the usage of materials in the two cars. The M5 weighs 4012lbs, the M6 weighs in at 3909lbs, which gives it just a hair advantage over the M5.
Allow me to demonstrate "M" mode ....
