Default The 2005 M6

http://www.mpowercars.com/

the new 500hp V10 isn't going to go in an M5 but rather in the new 6-series. I really hope this is recent enough to be news.

If not, close the post cuz i've been out of the loop for 4 months.

Yes we had already some discussions, and it's already official that both the M5 and M6 will have the same powerplant.

Its astonishing in terms of looks , and of course BMW will have a 500hp V10 , or they cant compete with Audi and Merc Super saloons

The M6 misses the boat a little bit.. almost looks like a 350Z that put on a few pounds and a bodykit.

Thankfully the Bangles era is over...

That´s hopefully going to be one THE BMWs to have. Looks much better than the regular 6 which is already really impressive.

i dunno.. i just can't get over their looks. lately i've gone from being all about performance and not caring about looks or interiors.. but its starting to become more important now for me. not that i could ever really afford an M car..

Not quite. . . his protege Adrian van Hooydonk has taken over. He was the one that penned the Bangle Ass.

man this car to me looks brilliant, I don't know what it is you don't like about it. To me BMW has sculpted a clean and classic shape for this car. It'll be one of those shapes that you really grow towards.

Also with that engine, who could dislike anything about it? and best of all its a BMW

645 is already total sportscar.. if they plant M5's new engine into it it will be mindblowing. But the price difference is very small.. new 645Ci starting price here in estonia is already 100 000$ USD.. Will the M6 have the same pricetag? :shock: I do believe that M6 will go for like 120 000 USD here.. Sure i'd like to test it out hough..
