BMW M6 and BMW M3 Width?

[dele]

Bit of a random topic but...

This could be the curse of Wikipedia being wrong, but i was looking the other day and i found that the stats for the two show that the E92 is actually wider than the M6?

I thought the M6 was huge?

BMW M6 Width - 73 in (1854 mm)
BMW M3 Width - 77.8 in (1976 mm)

That doesnt sound right to me?

E92 M3 - 1804 mm (wing mirrors folded)
E90 M3 - 1817 mm (wing mirrors folded)
M6 - 1855 mm (wing mirrors folded)

E92 M3 - 1976 mm (including wing mirrors)
E90 M3 - 2005 mm (including wing mirrors)
M6 - 2043 mm (including wing mirrors)

That sounds much more like it, bit worried if the E92 will fit through my garage tho, the doors 2133mm wide

Guess ill just have to man up and try it

I went through exactly the same process before getting the M3!

M5/6 will not fit in my garage and leaving a very nickable car on the drive is just not an option for me.

Mind you the M3 only just fits - I reckon the next 3 series will not, I had an E46 before the E93 and it is longer and I now have about 2 inches spare at the front and rear.

Like you say - you'll have to borrow one and try it!

For me the problem with the 6 series is the length of it rather than the width. My old E90 used to fit in my garage ok, but there's no chance of getting a 6 in there without the nose sticking out the door.
