Peak torque at 1500rpm?

Nice topic, If this thread strays I'll hand out more infractions and vacations.
Just a warning.

i like the look way more than the old one

 

[halik]

Not so sure it is better than an M3 - it's more of a grand tourer, rather than a track ready coupe.

I'm jumping in before it closes - weeee!

Thread crapping will not be tolerated. If you have nothing valuable to add, stay out of the thread. This is your ONE warning.

Peak torque at 1500rpm?

I was amazed by your comment so i checked the link. I read

the latter of which peaks between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm

To me, that suggests that the peak is somewhere in the middle around 3,600 rpm which is more reasonable. 1,500 would have been nutty.


edit: actually, looks like that's what they're claiming.... Hmm.

I will show you what torque like that does to $500 a piece tires.

 

[etrigan420]

Wow...that is absolutely gorgeous.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Looks nice from the front but not so much from sides/rear.

Simply too big for my preference.

Remember the E30/E46 M3 days....

This is meant to be a grand touring type car, and it's perfect for it. I've grown to like the current BMW look, and the interior is great

 

[MotF Bane]

Something about the nose looks just a little... off. Too vertically squished maybe?

Same. I think the current 6-series is meh. Almost as bad as the Lexus SC.

Think about the 6-Series Gran Coupe Sedan. An M6 GC would be godly.

I don't know, I really like it. I see hints of the GTR in the side profile.

That I will agree on - better looking than the current 6.

[exdeath]

I like. With a juice box plz.

 

[Elfear]

I think it looks sexy. Much better than the last gen.

 

[RockinZ28]

Damn that is one sexy looking car inside and out. Even the convertible looks good with the top down, and I think most convertibles look whack.

I saw the pictures last night on facebook, the back is a bit intriguing. It kind of reminds me of the new NSX.

Either way, the car stunning. However (and this is the one thing that scares me), a regular 6 series starts at 90K~. So are we looking at a sub 150K M6?

I like the way this one looks a lot more than the E63 generation. May need to switch the deposit on the F11 M5 to this.

Unless you need four doors, oh, absolutely, do it.

Yeah, but the old one was pretty bleh.

I guess I'm one of the few that finds this ugly. Its not hideous, but its still not very good looking. Way too much "detail" work in the sheetmetal. The front is pretty ugly. I've not been fond of most BMW front fascias for a while and this is no different. Hate the fender "vent" and overdone crease.

I do like the rear profile and side profile. The side actually makes me think of the 7 series, which I really wish they'd have aimed for that more.

One of my best friends just bought the new 6 series convertible. White with black leather. It is dead sexy.
