Congrats Vic! I like the design of this one much better (you know I'm not a fan of the look of the 5 series). I'm surprised and intrigued by your comments on the fact that it feels different (maybe better?) than the M5. I now want to test drive one.
I just went to the car show here in Toronto and saw an M6 Grand Coupe for the first time. The interior is really WOW (possibly similar to yours?) and surprisingly roomy for the rear passengers. It feels like a 7 series in terms of size. It will be a serious contender together with the RS 7 for my next car in a couple of years, although the RS7 looks a bit like a poor child compared to the M6 Grand Coupe...not the same price either. I haven't driven neither obviously as they are not available yet in Canada.
But I have to say after an afternoon at the car show, excluding the cars above $200k, from a look standpoint, the CLS still reigns supreme as one of the most beautiful cars out there.

You nailed it on the interior. The BMW leather (M is Merino) is amazing and the whole cabin just feels luxurious compared to an E... the CLS does one up the E but I like my M5 and definitely like the M6 interior better.
I think the steering dynamics, dampening, chassis response, and a few other driveability measurements were key in my decisions to take on two M's. I have no doubt Ill be back in the AMG world soon but not just yet.
