e46 m3 to e63 m6 coupe. anyone done it?
Discussion
Anyone gone from E46 M3 to e63 M6 coupe?
Wondered what are the main differences?
I would love 507bhp but dont want to compromise too much on the handling front.
Does the 6 feel noticeably larger / less responsive and engaging? Is it too big for b-road / alpine blast?
an alternative i suppose is to charge the M up to 550. no v10 howl though.

I've made this transition previously.
The M6 did feel a lot bigger, but then it also felt a lot bigger than the 2 E60 m5's I've owned too. Huge bonnet.
Running costs are very high, as mentioned I would only go AUC for piece of mind.
Performance wise though it's a completely different ball park, it will knock your fking socks off.
Handling, yes the m6 felt heavier, not as nimble and not as throwable as the m3.

Is it still good fun on the twisties? Gotta be good to hoon.
Interesting you say it feels bigger than a 5 series.
Looking at the 6 as inet suggests its a good 100kg lighter than the 5 and i dont need back seats.
Not as chuckable as an M3 but plenty composed enough. Set up the M button to the stiffest setting and it is a bit of a weapon. The A629 between Huddersfield to Sheffield is a favourite road of mine. It is epic down there and utterly composed.Interesting you say it feels bigger than a 5 series.

It sits lower by 2" over the E60 and turns in much sharper. I have raced against an E92 M3 and there was little in it....until we got to a straight road and then it was auf wiedersehen pet
