Does the M6 really look all that different from a Diesel 6 Series to the untrained eye?

I appreciate the fact that the 5 Series is far more common, but it's still a valid point.

The M6 DOES look like a sports car though, the M5 doesn't.

Thus meaning the Petrolheads to Tossers ratio of M5 owners is vastly more favourable.

I agree... you will also find ALOT of them have familys and NEED big 5 seater.

James doesn't yet...

so why bother?

get a boring looking saloon when you need to. E.g.. When you have kids... until then. Go for a sexy looking car!

Personally, I don't see how anyone can describe an M5 as "boring looking".

I've already said I'd go for an M6. They interest me lots and would buy one of those and not an M5, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I don't have kids and am not allowed 4 doors!
