Congrats, but I don't really think M6 really pushing it or put on a aggressive mode. I do owned an 2007 M5, i know how new M-series really can do. I did raced an SRT 4 ACR w/450whp & 390lbs torque, we hung from 60-110mph, then I shift to 5th gear, i was gone.
New M-series are monster guys, anyways you did it.

M6 should be a little quicker than the M5 since it's 200LBS lighter. And yeah, if I owned a M5/6 I wouldn't even bother pushing the "M" button against 95% of whats on the road.

Ah yes, the "I wasn't in sport mode" excuse. Also, he left his AC on and needed an oil change - and of course he was granny-shifting instead of double-clutching

well im pretty sure he was pushing it. i saw his face after the race when he ws next to me he was shocked and gave me a thumbs up. also i didnt race him past 5th gear. i know after that he'll murder me. The M5/M6 are meant to go top end. but power to weight ratio, i do beat the m6. ofcourse this doesnt take into account gearing. but thats also why the m6/m5 are so fast top end. their gearing.

In July/August my friend is picking um the M5 and ill b geting the 12~ psi pulley. we'll c wut happens than

KW AP2 2910lbs* 400hp = 7.2lbs per HP
BMW M6 3909lbs 500hp = 7.8lbs per HP


*includes 2855lbs OEM s2k weight plus estimated 55lbs for KW S/C. If someone has actual weight of all KW S/C hardware including fluids please let me know.


It kinda makes me wish my car wasnt dynamatted and didnt have a stereo system in it. Hell i still have stock headers, and exhaust and a softtop. I'd imagine an older ap1 with no softtop, a lightweight exhaust and wheels with a spoon hardtop and a Kraftwerks kit would make for hell of a killer combo.
2855 lbs?

Is that considering a full tank of gas? Where did I shed off 100 lbs? I just got my car corner balanced over the weekend and my car total came out to be 2751 lbs with a half tank of gas, T1R exhaust, and K&N intake.

That is one nice kill though. Must have felt really good to do something like that. I need FI... lol.

Trq is decieving becuase thats what you feel in the seat, has little to do with how fast you are, the more trq and heavier your car is the more its going to feel fast and push you in the seat. hp is what wins on the hyw especially if your lighter.
