Seems pretty rare for a production car. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2013-bmw-m6/#photo-4811683 I have an addiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well since I see no fins on them I'd guess they are. Should make for some nice even boost under a wide range of temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 So its the same engine as the m5, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Which is to say an awesome masterwork of ridiculous horsepower and torque production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 ha...ha ha ha ha ha ha? that WAS a joke, right? Well if he means in hp then he would be correct. The CTS-V is also a pretty BA car and has more power potential than almsot anything out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CTS-V is also a pretty BA car and has more power potential than almsot anything out there. In horsepower terms, yes, i agree. But in handling, fun factor, and (in my opinion) looks, then i disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I suppose you speak from personal experience having driven both huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_sheen Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 My uncle has an 09 cts-V after owning an 06 and my neighbor, a bmw representative brings home what seems like whatever ccar he feel like from the lot. Ive ridden in the 2012 m5 and almost all years prior to it, *in my opinion* very few cars can compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang Lung Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 That would be a "no". They didn't make a -V Coupe in 2009. I'll give it a clear edge in appearance. But it isn't faster or better handling than the Caddy. The Caddy has more torque and is substantially quicker. There's a lot of daylight between 3.9 and 4.2. The M6 is a hi performance, beautiful car. But I can't think of a reason I'd spend an extra $40,000 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment on the current M5 or M6, but when I sold BMW's I was able to drive both of the previous generation cars a fair amount. Nice cars but not the end all be all of performance either. Of the two I vastly prefered the M5; the M6 ,while fun, was and remains too big in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I will say the new M5 does probably slightly outhandle the cts-v but the previous gen didn't. So then the m5 finally did catch up to the cts-v. I don't know how you couldn't have fun with either car. The cts-v with almost 300ft lbs or trq at idle usually equals fun for me. Looks are subjective, there was and still is a huge dislike for the newer BMWs styling amoung BMW fan bois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mass-hole Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Nothing quite tickles my fancy like a CTS-V Sedan in the looks department. I wouldnt touch a coupe, and the only way I would consider the wagon over the sedan is if it was my only car and i needed the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
