which is better M5 OR M6

BMW DIET · 01-08-2008, 01:24 AM

hey guys I am thinking of getting a new car and I am a bit confused which one to get the M5 or M6 ? I have seen the fifth gear and top gear reviews , but i am still not sure

. My heart tells me M5 but ....... I like the shape of the m6 . hmmmmm........ WHAT YOU THINK ??

The_AMG_Hunter · 01-08-2008, 01:24 AM

m6

BMWE90 · 01-08-2008, 01:27 AM

M3

Digital.James · 01-08-2008, 01:52 AM

I would say M5.

There are a ton of fast coupes; not to say the M6 is bad in any way. But you're in Porsche territory there (100k+).
But...
The M5 really has no equal in its class. No other sedan in that size comes close to it's performance equal.

LAZY TURBO · 01-08-2008, 01:54 AM

both are awesome cars, just depends on what you need in the car to determine which one is better suited for you.

+1. My thoughts exactly.

BMW DIET · 01-08-2008, 02:11 AM

looks more like you guys like M5 better . i know the shape of the m6 looks hot and the chassi and driving ability of the M5 is amazing !!!

majin ssj eric · 01-08-2008, 02:16 AM

M5...

AltecBX · 01-08-2008, 02:19 AM

If speed is your thing, get a Porsche, an M5 is a sedan like nothing else. So I'll buy the M5 from the two; If I were to buy a 2 door, I'll buy a Porsche or Audi R8, M6 is overrated and to much $.

Tommy420 · 01-08-2008, 02:19 AM

I'd go with the M6, although I do agree with DigitalJames....but I love the M6. If you do end up getting the M6, don't do something stupid and end up buying the convertible...stick with the coupe!

Xeloj · 01-08-2008, 02:19 AM

M5, will be my next car when the new one comes out in 2010.

BMW335icDDS · 01-08-2008, 02:27 AM

m5, the m6 is one of the ugliest BMW's of all time. most car mags hate them too (styling wise)

BMW F22 · 01-08-2008, 02:30 AM

Im assuming you want a coupe if you like the shape of the M6. If so, go with the new M3.

False. M6 looks damn good.

OP: I'd get the M5. As said above, if you want a fast coupe in that price range there are plenty of other options whereas the M5 is unique. Big sedan that stays even with 997 Turbos and F430s with a few mods = win.

BMW DIET · 01-08-2008, 02:51 AM

if it do go with the M5 which colour ???? and which Porsche best compares to the M5?

L~R~G nor cal · 01-08-2008, 03:30 AM

Lets say you buy a new m5 and it costs 90+ tax. The m6 would be around 100+ tax. If you are in the m5 range you could go for a 911s or 4s. GREAT CARS!! If you are in the m6 range I would look into a gt3. You can prob pick one up for around 120. Yes it is 20g more, but well worth it.
My friend just bought a 08 gt3rs for a grand over msrp. YES ONLY A GRAND!! You need to find dealierships in bumb fuc& states in the middle of no ware where they cant find a buyer. Do alot of research!! You can find some great deals on new cars. I remember my dad was looking at a c4s and found one new under msrp in kansas. He ended up buying a range rover, but will buy a turbo prob in a year or so.
But between the m5 and m6, I would vote for the m6. You want a fun car, and a m5 will feel more like a daily driver when you take it out on weekends.
If i was going to spend around 100g, I would buy a c2s.
