I must admit I like the look of the M6 more than the M5, of course that is subjective. Apart from styling, since they are both M cars, would you feel the M6 would be a completely different beast compared to the M5, handling, acceleration etc wise? or it is safe to say the M5 is a 4 door version of the M6? any thoughts appreciated.
M5 is a sedan, but M6 is a luxurious GT. Technically yes, the M5 is a 4 door M6 Coupé, but there is a true true 4 door M6 Coupé coming, the M6 GranCoupé. It will be the most expensive but also the most exclusive. In terms of performance, the M6 Coupé will be faster because it is slightly lighter (1925 kg vs 1945 kg).
