BMW 328 vs. BMW M6 Review

Cost
The BMW M6 is tremendously costlier than the BMW 3 Series with respect to MSRP.

Utility
The M6's larger trunk will accommodate more large things than the BMW 3 Series. Neither the BMW 3 Series nor the BMW M6 has a marked advantage regarding seating capacity.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the BMW M6 offers a bit more head room than the 3 Series, there really isn't much of a difference. The 3 Series offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the BMW M6 does.

Dimensions
The BMW M6 is somewhat heavier than the BMW 3 Series. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the BMW M6 than the BMW 3 Series because of its bigger tank. The BMW 3 Series and the BMW M6 compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the BMW M6 is a true speedster. As far as horsepower, the M6 packs quite a wallop and will knock the 3 Series down a few rungs. On the flip side, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
The M6 has substantially wider tires than the BMW 3 Series. Remember that bigger tires could improve handling, while narrower tires can improve gas mileage. With their comparable turning circles, the BMW 3 Series and the BMW M6 most definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The BMW M6 has a more massive engine than the BMW 3 Series. Keep in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the BMW M6 is tremendously more powerful than the 3 Series. Because the BMW M6's maximum torque is reached at high RPMs, you'll have to shift gears a lot, especially when passing.

Overview
The BMW M6 and the BMW 3 Series have the same basic warranty.
