M6 has looks, style, speed, comfort

2007 BMW M6 2dr Coupe (5.0L 10cyl 7AM)

Review

Yes I ordered and waited for my M6 coupe to arrive. After the 1200 mile break-in to get the additional 100HP the fun begins. Launch control is awesome! Yes, I said launch control. Your BMW dealership generally does not tell you about this hidden feature that launches you from a stop right into the future. You can experience all 505HP and accelerate from 0-60 in no time. Quite the rush! The M6 gets respect on the highway and all the looks in the city. Another great vehicle from the BMW family.

Favorite Features

Launch control. Heads up display.

Suggested Improvements

The only improvement would be to add additional horsepower but the M6 does just fine with the 505HP. Mustangs do not have a chance!

My White 2006 M6 Coupe

Review

I traded up from a Yellow M3. Everyone had to look at that car whether it was in awe or disgust. However, until I got my M6, never has a member of the opposite sex flirted with me from their car. It has happened 5 times since July 15th. This car turns heads who see it. Moreover it turns heads of people who hear it going by. The acceleration over 90 MPH is insane, and it feels like 0-100 mph is only 6.2. Would prefer if it had more distinctive flare like my M3. It does not even have a raised hood. When you sit down in it and turn it on, and it rumbles into place, there is not much better a feeling to a driving person on Earth. If you are looking at Porsche turbo, drive this car too!

Favorite Features

Handling dampering is spectacular! Engine sound, and feel of acceleration is insane. M6 500 Sport mode the car peels out at the stop light in first gear. Stereo sounds sick! Everyone gives you the thumbs up at traffic lights. It feels classy, but also very european and distinguished. Go BMW!

Suggested Improvements

What is up with the cup holder? Thye used all kinds of negative space to store a cup holder that could have yielded a better back seat. Could have made the car shorter and lighter with no back seat like the Z4 and Z8. Needs air conditioned seats. The iDrive computer is really slow between screens.

Review

This car is an amazing engineering feat. It is meant to be driven hard, not tamely. The entire vehicle responds well when pushed hard. Of course it is the ultimate eye catcher. So enjoy.

Favorite Features

Handling.

Suggested Improvements

None. If you want good gas mileage, buy a four cyclinder.

Superb Alll Rounder

Review

Great GT because it can do 95% of what a pure sports car can do on a track. On the road no sports car will leave the M6 behind. Furthermore it is very comfortable, well made and huge fun. iDrive is easy, and SMG faultless. What is the problem with all you testers. If you need help in learning how to drive SMG smoothly let me know. I'll gladly show you!

Favorite Features

Engine, engine sound, build quality.

Suggested Improvements

Larger fuel tank and better fuel consumption.

Review

The fact that this car is so hotly debated in most forums suggests that it's controversial. There are many people who love it and hate it. It's fast, fun to drive, and comfortable. And is very innovative in creature comforts, build quality, engineering, and performance. Some might complain that the car is too heavy or has a bad transmission, my advice is if you don't like it don't buy it. For those who do love this car, shop around... and if you buy one it'll deliver a great (but possibly the ultimate) driving experience time and time again and will turns heads wherever you go.

Favorite Features

Technology, power, engine sounds, solid-attractive-roomy cabin perfect for 2. Also braking, handling, and transmission.

Suggested Improvements

Trim a bit more weight from the car... maybe bring to 3700 pounds from the factory. Faster CPU in iDrive module, fewer transmission settings (possibly 5: Aggressive Auto, Soft Auto, Aggressive Manual, Soft Manual, Extreme).

BMW M6 is FUN!

Review

I've had many Bimmers, but the M6 is absolutely incredible. You can't drive it without a smile on your face!!! Great power, more than I can ever possibly put to use... not that it isn't fun to get on it! Yet it feels very solid. I was going to go porsche turbo, but the M6 is much less jumpy and it's more comfortable. And I didn't buy it to race, so I like the extra room. If you like BMW, you're gonna love this car!!

Favorite Features

507 HP, BMW quality, solid feel, stereo is better than my previous 750Li!!!

Suggested Improvements

Doors need auto close like the 7 series, otherwise NA.

Review

My new M6 replaces a 911 C4S and a BMW X5 - and superbly blends the two with speed, firmness of drive and wonderful comfort. Compliments for its looks are only surpassed by those for its growl. Shifting takes a few days to master smoothly (even in automatic) - the optional M-mode significantly adds HP and despite the luxurious drive, handling rivals the 911 (almost). The heads up display and paddle shifters in M-mode is cooler than my cousin's F430 - and easier to drive. The sport seats are the most comfortable I've experienced. HD sound playing from Satellite or FM is fantastic and the voice command audio makes getting the music right easy while paying attention to the road. Great ride - A+.

Favorite Features

Power, handnling and comfort dominate this car. Engine sound, paddle shifting and handling rival the newest Ferrari.

Suggested Improvements

1200 mile oil change is too soon. Linking blue tooth phone is problematic.

Review

This car craves the autobahn. I am consistently going 10 to 20 mph over the speed limit w/o meaning to. The car seems to idle @ 70 mph. Great power, I would like to change the rear end to a Dinan3.91 for better low end speed. I love this car. Gas mileage as one would expect is horrible, but that goes with the 500 hp territory.

Favorite Features

Everything.

Review

I was excited when my dealer told me a new black M6 convertible was in stock so I rushed out to get this baby. About a month of ownership later, I am so disappointed with this car that I may burn my BMW fan club card. I'm close to swearing off BMWs and giving Mercedes or Lexus a try. I loved BMWs in the first place due to their engineering, reliability, style, and service. So far, the M6C's engineering is questionable, reliability pitiful, style passable, and though the BMW service is superb, it has nothing to do with the physical car itself! My new M6C has been in the shop 4x in the last month and needless to say, it's the most unreliable BMW I've ever purchased; and I've owned 6 so far.

Favorite Features

500 hp, convertible that can seat 4 adults... well, not really 4 adults (more like 2 normal adults and 2 small adults or 2 normal adults and 2 children).

Suggested Improvements

Better sensors, make car more reliable, improve trunk space, give more rear leg room, and give it a more distinct sporty look than the hardtop - you can't visually tell the difference between an M6 and a regular 6 series unless you look at the label or flip up the hood.
