Today the new 6's came in. We got a coupe and a convertible; and the whole afternoon the guys were going nuts test driving them. We got them as demos; soon we'll be getting in the customer orders.

They are very sharp looking and from what the techs have said- very fast. I myself could not tell you as I was left to run the parts dept while everyone else got to play

.

As soon as I can get a picture of me in one of them I will post it. That may take until they are done prepping them though. Or even if I can get close enough to take just a pic of the car (although I want one of me in it just to make my best friend jealous!).

I got an invitation from my dealer for a "grand unveiling" tomorrow. This thing is just pure hotness... one of the few Bangle products I'm looking forward to.

Isn't that the 4 door mercedes that's faster than the z06? It's got the supercharged 5.0 that puts it in the low 12's, right?

That'd be the E55 Amg

That's the AMG E55. Makes M5 and 360 owners cry to their mommies.

hey you think if I stoped by and let me test drive one

AMG E55 = Supercharged 5.5L 24V V-8, 469hp, 516lb-ft. 4087 lbs

The Mercedes is faster strait on, and it is a safer car.

BMW 645i Coupe=4.4L 32V V-8, 325hp, 330lb-ft. 3792 lbs

The BMW, would be more fun to drive in the corners, and its got the look.

I, personally, do not like the newest look that BMW has. I like their previous look a lot better. What's with everyone messing up their styling this year? I mean look what GM's done - they ruined a lot of stuff IMO. Oh well.

I love the new 6 series, (I like the new 5 series aswell...I have to since we got one).

FYI....the next generation M5 (based on the current e60 5 series) will one hell of a car, that can take on the E55 again.

QUOTE

(5 Litre V10)...producing around 500 bhp (368 kW) and a maximum torque of at least 500 Nm

Engineers at BMW M envisage the car accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) over the classic distance in well under 5 seconds, the 200 km/h mark being reached in just 13 seconds.

BMW M engineers would not focus on sheer torque alone, but first and foremost on engine power, a sign of effective utilisation of the undoubtedly very substantial performance potential that is available.

Thanks to a superior gearbox solution, the driver can benefit from a completely new 7-speed SMG, a rapid manual gear-shift and, if required, comfortable cruising.

BMW M engineers aspired to achieve the best power-to-weight ratio in this market segment, thereby fully utilising their abundant experience in suspension design.

If I had the money...it'd be mine the second it goes into production

While still a huge AMG Fan, I do have to admit 6-series does get a nod from me regarding the its elegance in performance, handling, and sheer power. Nice Car...do recommend it.....I consider this in the same class as Mercedes' little monster "AMG E-55"

Nasty nasty car.....It is supposed to be 470HP but dynoed at 520 HP. Idiot Neighbor's one is modded at 600 HP

Here are the comparisons

the 3 little monsters.

BMW 6 series vs. AMG E55 vs. Jaguar XJR
BMW Vs. AMG Vs. Jaguar

If i were to choose, definitely AMG
