This is the best car I have ever owned--and I have had some nice ones, including other BMW's. I don't even care that it cost over $100K new-- this is truly a world-class ride. It is supremely quiet, comfortable, mild-mannered at cruising speeds and very well-appointed. However, when you put your right foot down, this very civilized machine becomes an absolute rocket! It accelerates so effortlessly that you will think the speedometer is reading in kph instead of mph. Only when you notice that every other car on the road has suddenly become oncoming traffic do you grasp how awesomely fast this machine is. It will easily top 200 mph (once the idiotic 155 mph governor is disabled) and do it with utter aplomb. Fortunately, the massive brakes and excellent Michelin tires are up to the task of handling all that energy when it comes time to change speed and/or direction. I really like the SMG paddle shift transmission, although it does take some getting used to. There are not enough superlatives to describe what driving this car is like. Even the sound system is fantastic. I absolutely love it. BMW (and everyone else) will have to create something unimaginably spectacular to get me to even consider trading it. Did I mention it is beautiful too?

Legendary machine that CANT be reproduced EVER AGAIN. Long live the V10

its fast,comfortable,sporty,stylish and all you need!and its fun to drive.the interior is very good and the car has never given me problems.it has never had repair.i took it for service last month ago at south africa.

This car is awesome! There is so much poer even before you hit the sport button. Powerful and handles like a dream. The styling both inside and out are very unique and pleasurable to the eye. Get looks wherever I go. Wish I had an Audobahn we could drive on here in the states!

I've been driving BMW M cars for 4 years now and it would be difficult to think of driving anything else! The first M car was an E46 M3 Manual which is very nimble & has a precise feel... very quick, very reliable, great for every day. Moving up from the E46 M3 into the E63 M6 is a HUGE step change... I remember my first drive after I picked it up from Kent, I was on the M25 London Ring-road laughing very loudly at the BLISTERING acceleration from 60-100mph in 3rd gear! There is a slight snaking from the rear-end as it launches itself forward, so the wheel needs to be gripped very tightly! From 100mph its scary to think there are 4 gears to go in the 7 speed sequential gearbox... it will pull from 100mph in 4th, thru 120-140-160mph+ in the blink of an eye, there's no show of impedance from the engine... absolutely awesome! The brakes can be eye-popping slowing from those speeds... never have I experienced brake fade even on a really hard drive. You can make yourself and passengers feel sick quickly with acceleration & braking on country roads. Driving it around every day can be frustrating especially in the city - as you just want EVERYTHING TO MOVE OVER! This is a car that loves to be revved and needs to be driven on long journeys. It EATS motorways, there's nothing ever in my rear-view mirror on long journeys - not even Bentley ContiGT's... it is just very frustrating when people in cars with a 3.0 litre or smaller engine cannot understand why you're behind them at 70mph yaaawning... I'm so used to speed in the M6 now that it feels perfectly normal to drive at 120mph+ every time i get on a main road - without my heart raising a beat, but a huge grin as to how easy it is! The build quality is superb, the sound system is captivating and the gizmos like the Head-Up-Display, inflatable seat bolsters, M-button are great... the iDrive is brilliant to use and the Nav is very intuative... Just very frustrating not having Autobahns close by - and being £1.20 per litre for Super Unleaded at 11mpg !! This simply doesn't matter... every time I press that START button I get the same feeling as i did when I was a kid on christmas day! Amazing!!!
