I just picked up a M6 convertible last week. It is limited to 155 mph, but that's easily fixed
It is an amazing highway beast, very comfortable and very fast. The ride is completely different from my turbo and makes for a great daily driver. Surprisingly nimble for a heavy car.

 

Love those BMW M cars to death. They are indeed very fast at highway speeds, a few weeks ago on the m5/m6 run I was on, a friends new 997tt was putting a hurting on one from a 50 roll up to some decent speeds! Much respect though for them!

 

I love the M5s and M6s . . . beautiful cars. I posted a while back that M cars seem to challenge me on a somewhat regular basis. Apparently, they have become accustomed to fairing well against non-modded 996TTs. They do not fair so well against my modded 996TT.

Craig I am sure they are quite suprised how quickly you walk away from them!

 

Couldn't help notice your username...who do you play for? Eagles? I play for Saint Louis University

 

haha, next time put it in 6th and travel at exactly 156mph... just to rub it in

 

i dont understand how you can call an M6 a beautiful car... i think its FUGLY.

the M5 looks way better!

 

Keep whatever you're smoking FAR away from me

 

+1 The M6 looks way better than the M5.

 

no way man! you can't honestly like the m6 nose can you?

 

i went to SLU for a little bit.

my bro is starting there in the fall and mentomori is a senior there right now.

 

I love my 996 Turbo, but let me tell you a M6 or M5 with Active Auto ECU (NO SPEED LIMITER) and ASR Engineering NOS kit will give any 911 turbo porsche with or without mods a run for the money and thats spending aprox $5,000 in mods.....My 2006 M5 ran an 11.6 @ 126 mph with a 100 shot on 20 inch aftermarket wheels....

Also for anyone that says youll blow the motor with NOS, my M5 has aprox 20,000 miles and no issues what so ever and I do use the NOS. Also there are several M5 and M6's running upto 150 shot and so far no issues.....Not to mention these cars are rock solid at speeds over 120 mph....The 7 speed SMG gear box gives the BMW a huge advantage at high speeds....These cars will hit 200 mph with no issue with just the ECU upgrade.... Ive taken my 996 Turbo upto 185mph and I can assure you the M5 feels more solid at that speed then the Porsche, I was very supprised....
