M6. I've had mine for 1 1/2 years and really like it. It's my first BMW after many Porsches etc, and other than a couple of small quirks like the oil sensor and complicated i-drive, it has been a blast. I drove a new M3 recently, and was pretty unimpressed. The interior, is much better in the M6, but, of course, it's more $.
Used M6s are really coming down in price, however. Gas mileage around town is pretty bad, but on the highway it is acceptable.

M6
You have a Z06 which rides hard, you need a GT and there is no better then the M6 imo. It's very fast, very comfy and sounds like heaven with the high revving V10. Also great steering and brake feel.
Some have suggested the CLK BS. It's a fun car but imo it's held back by the 7speed auto. I've driven one and the experience was great all around except the tranny.

That was my concern with the BS as well...that's it's an auto. I know it's a fantastic auto, but I still find auto's boring.
Great input, thanks.

One question for anyone that knows; will a software flash give the M5 enough power to run with a M6 in a straight line? I know the cars are already close, but I'm not sure how much power a flash gives the cars. Thanks.

that got to be the WORST background music ever. haha
i used to dislike 6 series in general but someone's M6 from this forum proved me wrong. (AW M6 with HRE wheels. He also has red 997TT)
if money isnt the issue, i'd definitely go with m6 over m3. for some reason, e92 m3 isnt as appealing as normal e92.
did you already find the car you like?

What is the name of the site that deals with lease take overs? I am thinking about getting into something too.
