"So how do you choose between M5 and M6? If you need space, the M5 is the one. For those who don't, the M6 performs ever so slightly better according to the numbers. According to the seat of our pants , however, the M6 feels much better , making it the purists choice. As for styling, well, it's not even a question. Every german we came across gave the M6 a third look, whereas the M5 barely recieved a passing glance. Germans know their cars, and they love their M6".
More quotes from the review:
"COMPARING THE BMW M5 with its coupe brother—the M6—is like arguing over who’s hotter: Jennifer Garner or Jessica Biel. What’s the point? Any self-respecting guy would be happy with either. Same goes for the M5 and M6. But off to Germany we went, to answer this simple question: If you had to choose (the M5 or M6, not Garner or Biel), which would it be"?
"These are easy cars to drive fast, both on the Autobahn (where those big brakes give complete confi dence that, yes, you will be able to slow down in time) and on back roads. The M6 has slightly quicker, more direct steering and as a whole feels more lively and nimble than the M5. But both
exhibit handling manners near perfect for road cars, with steering neither darty nor too slow, and with excellent feedback."
