My dealer has a convertible M6 at the port as of today. I was thinking about trading my Fcar California for a 2013 Mercedes SL63, but now that the M6 is here..... I could be one of the first with the new M6.

Thoughts on it vs the new SL63 (not out yet)?

 

(not exactly a thought on the "vs" part, but..)

I priced the M6 against the M5 on the BMW "build it" site and the base price for the M6 is about $16k more than the M5 - to me, it's a no-brainer

(plus, personally, I don't care for the look of the M6 and would rather have the M5 - even if they cost the same..just my opinion)

((but, for me, there's no justification in upgrading from my '08 M5 to anything newer..))

 

Would LOVE to drive one!

 

yes i have one thought - gtr!

the M6 is just too BIG (for my liking)

sdotbphotographs posted pics of a coupe (another thread here), which I "photoshopped" to make it look better, IMO :

the new M6 is an absolute HIT...this coming from someone that has never liked the 6 series, ever...I have always had M5's, M3's, 7's as my company cars...was to get the new M5 as usual until I saw the pictures of the new M6 Coupe....quickly switched to the 6 - July build August delivery...

 

Way too big. Go SL....

 

Got a F458 instead

 

Sweet rides!

 

love the new audio and pop up center channel

 

The new SL is ugly. Also if you've the means for a 458 at 25 then you can probably afford other cars at the same time, so you're better off having a real supercar for kicks and a normal comfortable luxury car or truck or something when you just want to relax. It sounds like it's worked out so far.

 

I love both the Sl63 and new M6. Great for DD IMO, but like mentioned already are very heavy players. I honestly don't know which one I would go with until I have a chance to check them both out. I would personally keep the F-car since you already have it, but if I were in the market from scratch and wanted a badass DD for myself I would go GTR. Just my thoughts.

 

Just ordered a new 2013 BMW M6 Coupe. Orange with black interior. Stunning car and the 560 HP is underrated. Should take possession in October. I currently drive a 2012 X6M and my wife has the 2012 650ix convertible with the M package. Both cars are fantastic- Beautiful, great handling and great power.

 

the new SL isn't all that compared to the introduction of the "new" SL's of past. I say go for the M6, although within 6 months they will both be a dime a dozen. Personally i'm gonna get the M5

 

i had same dilemma i had 3 cars in mind the Maserati gt conv, new 911S conv, Then i happened to get the call about the new M6 and when i went to see it i said this is the one took me 2 seconds to decide.
