560 hp / 500 lb-ft M6 isn't super enough?

I looked at them but wasn't my cup of tea. Too much of what I have already. I loved the modified Z4MC look and feel but can't find any coupes locally in 3 states that I would even consider. Tons of M roadsters and saw a nice one at Kuni BMW but in stock trim it just didn't do anything for me. I was like, car needs some work and attention to detail. lol
I honestly love driving my X5 everywhere in this rainy weather. Its so comfortable.

Curb weight on a 458 is listed at nearly 3400 lbs. Someone obviously didn't do the metric conversion properly or is maybe thinking of another car.

Sure, there will always be faster, lighter cars. But saying BMW offers "no super car at this point" is false, in context of the original comment presuming that BMW offered a super car at some point (which could be argued on definition of what a super car is).

Still better than the 4300-4500 lbs of the M6. And I still wouldn't consider it a super car. I think the only BMWs I'd call super cars are the i8 (maybe) and the M1.

front what im reading you want something comfortable, powerful, with supercar looks and appeal. try looking at a used maseratti gran turismo, aston vantage, or 360. with exception of the porsche turbo, i dont think you will be happy with any gt3 models since they are harsh and not considered "comfortable". my dad has an R8 with electronic dampening and that car is fun to drive and very comfortable in the soft setting. maybe have a look at those as well.

I want a different look than the everyday E46 looking car. I just don't care for the looks anymore. I should have kept my Z4MC. I was very contempt with it but got a great deal on an E92 M3. I was looking at the R8s and they are $75$90k wholesale but am not a Volkswagon/Audi fan. Never have been. So who knows. I may just buy a $15k Barrett Semi Auto 50 BMG with thermal optics package. LOL

Aston Marton Bugatti Lamborghini Ferrari Koenigsegg Porsche The E92 M3 or M6 should not be considered in a line up with these cars IMO. There is no way a 2010 BMW M6 should be considered in the same class as this....Do you think so? lol I know its over the top but still...NO BMW is in this class of super car. 2010 M6

^ BUT YOU SAID "at this point" which implies you thought BMW had one previously and had a different definition of super car. Anyway, moving on. Personally I don't care for super cars even if I had the money because they're so over the top and coveted by everyone. The Koenigsegg is the ugliest of the bunch -- very cookie cutter super car design. Our Z4M's look way better.

The Koenigsegg is sweet if done right and pretty darn fast. Z4MCs do look sweet, we all agree. I am looking for another one right now actually. Not one locally in 2 states.

The E92 M3 has to go. I backed out today from my driveway and was disgusted at looking at it. Really put a foul taste in my mouth. However, I should not complain at all being fortunate to own one but still pisses me off that I made that mistake. It was my own fault and will cost me to get out of it and so be it.

If you go with the Gallardo ( Edit: 2007 or older, I think they improved 2008+), you'll end up replacing the clutch every 10-15k miles or sooner depending on Egear or 6MT and driving habits, along with the throw out bearing about every other clutch Last edited by mshanno1; 02-23-2012 at 01:10 PM.. |
