M6 = Heavy, iDrive, styling (to many), no faster than a stock 335i around most tracks, too many other great cars in the 2 seater around $100K segment (i.e. 911, Blue Devil, GT-R, AM for style, etc..)

The M3 is also overrated, imho, but can redeem itself somewhat if the price stays under $65K well equipped.

Well I am glad the M5 / M6 owners don't share your opinion..... The M5 is a great sedan and the M6 is a great GT. Both can have a little fun on the track.

BTW, the M6 doesn't weigh much more than the new M3 or even the 335i.
