BMW M6 (2005-CURRENT)
We Say...
Based on the fiery BMW M5, BMW has massaged the 6 Series into a serious Porsche challenger.  It isn't as svelte as you may think, but it will sledgehammer its message across thanks to a 500 horsepower V10 engine.  Not entirely practical compared to the M5, but it's a more distinctive package for the discriminating elite.
A BMW M5 for those who want a more distinctive package.
Distinctive doesn't mean practical.
