Divided b/t E60&E63

kyrix1st · 04-25-2016, 11:37 PM

Hello, I usually hang around Z4post but I figured i'd ask the M experts.
Currently, I'm looking at 2007 E60 M5 and 2008 E63 M6.
The M5 has M drive package (that's what we call here in JP) and M6 is a base.

How do they differ in terms of performance? I usually drive alone or with one passenger but that M drive package is so tempting....

Price difference is minimal with similar mileage.

Thnx for reading!

M driver's package meant the top speed is lifted to 305km.

You better expect so hefty maintenance bills. Both cars are very expensive to take car of. Stay away....

yep which is exactly why I am leaning towards 997 carrera MT or cayman S MT... that V10 tho...

M6 because its newer and might be facelifted version. 305 speed limit most likely you wont use.
V10 sound is awesome -> put Eisenmann exhaust and Supersprint x pipe (you need to weld a bit between them as the fit is not perfect)

What is the color combo on M6?

M6 is metallic black with beige interior and wood trim. Kind of old for my taste. M5 is a frozen silver with white interior and aluminum trim I absolutely love it. I wish I could combine the goods of the two cars haha

Is it aftermarker Frozen Silver or wrapped? I didn't think they came out with the Frozen colors until F10. I might be wrong though.
