    Where are all the M6's Coupe reviews?
  6. south Well-Known Member

    You might not see M6 Coupe reviews for a while as the convertible is first.

    There is already M6 Convertible being delivered to a customer but still no pressdrive. Weird.
  8. south Well-Known Member

    Yeap, but I think that customer got their car a bit early.

    The Gran Coupe weighs around 70kg more than the equivalent two-door, but is still great to drive. The longer wheelbase improves the ride – it’s supple even in the dampers’ stiffest setting – while the optional Adaptive Drive uses active roll bars to keep the car flat in bends.
    Also fitted to our 640d was Integral Active Steering: this turns the rear wheels as well as the fronts and works superbly to ensure crisp responses from the well weighted steering.

    It looks good, the only problem is the price.

    Reviewers seem to like the car. Nice. Also good to read it's much different from the 5 series and even 6er coupe.

    I particularly like this quote:
    M6 Gran Coupe vs Panamera Turbo S.....oh yeah! If the M5 can't claim 4 door king, the M6 GC sure as hell will!

    More praise. Great! This is turning out to be a real winner within the line-up. And needless to say probably, but I much prefer it over the 5-series.

    all the praise and they only give it 3 stars?
  17. klier Member

    Who knows, and who cares? Maybe it's the price and all the options you have to pay for?

    Those ratings are article ratings by readers. :) (everybody can vote, and it already has 73 votes)
    Not the tested car rating by reviewer / test driver / journalist.

    Check it again.

    It's expensive but believe me it's every penny worth to me. I will pay the premium any day, this car is just a 'must have' in my books;)

    From the day BMW presented the Concept CS back in 2007, I hoped, prayed and advocated that they should do something to let this car or something similar see the light. And the 6 GC is that car!(y)(y)(y)

    6er GC is a class below Concept CS though...
