Golfer Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have driven the new M5 and found it a bit "manic" high revs and low torque. I want to know if the M6 drives any diferently, same engine I suppose or is there more torque?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Same beast mate. You should take an Alpina B5 out. Over 500bhp on everyone tested and over 700nm of tourque, quicker than the M5 but alot more relaxed and on all he tests it always gets 10+ mpg more than the M5, 28mpg average for a lot of owners compared with around 15mpg from a lot of M5 owners. Also available as the B6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizze Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 There have only been 75 B5's registered in the UK and 6 B6's. Usuually 1 or 2 at most within the Sytner group for sale, but none at the moment, they will have a demo though, try Nottingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
