M5 to M6 Gran Coupe

[Jazzer]

Evening folks,

I'm an M5 man, love them to bits....have an F10 monster, had a beastly V10 and still dream about E39s.

Wondering what next....sat in an M6 Gran Coupe yesterday, it felt very right.....and what a great looking car, eh?

Now thinking about making the jump, but arguing with myself.....M5 is a man's car, M6 feels/looks great, but not sure about the image.

So what's what chaps....stick and enjoy, or get a new haircut/blow dry and get the M6??

I'm going to drive one and get a feel for it.

Funnily enough, I saw my first one on the roads only yesterday, although its colour did nothing for it.

Thinking time....

Stunning!

I really like that too John.....seems we have very similar tastes!!

Prior to purchasing my M5 I test drove a 640d with a view to taking advantage of the ridiculously good deals available on the M6GC (the M6 not being available to test drive). I really liked the styling but couldn't get comfortable with the width of the car - it felt too large for my local roads.

The M6GC is undoubtedly more visually stunning than the M5, but I believe the styling may date quicker. I'd liken it to the original Merc CLS in this way.

It is indeed a wide car, but only a little wider than an M5, less than half an inch in fact.

Mind you, little things can make a big difference!

Excellent posts chaps, you might be saving me some dough.

Still waiting to drive one, but head and heart remain firmly in M5 land for now!

I've just turned 50, but I look 35!!

Interesting!

It looked wider than the F10 to me and I thought the specs confirmed that.....must have read them wrong.....need glasses!!

Is the body of the FO6 not wider, you know, with mirrors in.....for garage-entering purposes??
