Did I just embarrase this guy?
Anyone else tuned run an M6?
Only mods I could tell for sure was an exhaust.

Story:
I saw him pull out 2 cars ahead of me. Came to a light where 2 cars took the right lane and he was in left with no one ahead of us. Light turns green, he revs slow, I'm not sure if he's game at this point or not, so I get up next to it and he drops the hammer. I down 2 and pull him fairly easily. Probably an 1/8th mile to the next light and I had him by an easy 2 cars and he got a bit of a jump on me.

Thoughts...?

What MY M6?

avery.whss

meh BMW's aren't THAT fast, I just raced a older M3 on the highway and i didnt even have to try, infact i just played with him most of the time

Autosport7

Older M3 isn't even comparable to a newer M6 tho.

Not surprising, even the new M6's only pull 0-60 in around 3.9-4 sec, while our cars can pull 3.5-3.7

hairtick seconds don't matter when you can't put the power to the ground. slight driver error can cause you to lose if you make one mistake, and if you're on the street, there's sometimes no more chance to make up for it.

we're just lucky we have a large displacement platform that can easily be opened up for relatively low modification. The previous M5 V10 motor was just as lucky for tuning as well.

I let a kid in an IS250 F Lexus beat me the other day from a 40 mph roll. Hell they were so happy with themselves. The passenger was recording it all. I dropped back after a couple turns and let them blaze past me. Should be on YouTube by now I bet "C63 kill by a Lexus ISF 250"...whatever the correct designation is. LOL I am almost 50 fellas and I had a tee time, hope the kids enjoyed it!

Wow how the mentality changes with age... I am stating to notice these things myself! I am only 33, but since my wife and I have been fortunate enough to have 2 children, different things matter now.
Having said that, I don't think I could ever let this happen.
Good man to let these kids have their day. I'm not sure I would have wasted my gas to be honest.

I've noticed they are easy to beat from a launch... apparently the iDrive thing really makes it a PITA.

Here's a video of me walking one in 2012 at the WannaGoFast event in Clayton...

Owner was cool about it, nice guy to chat with. I basically murdered him on the launch and he could never reel me in.

Hats-off to JRSJR65, you're a better man than me LOL

I'm assuming this is the new V8TT M6? If so, these cars are extremely sluggish under 4000rpm and if you plant it with traction control fully engaged, it almost goes nowhere.
I say this because my old man has 1, and it is a helluva lot faster than my C63!!! On the open road, at full tilt, very few cars stand a chance.
Although my car is stock though.

Autosport7

No sir, it was the previous gen. I guess after talking to a few people, I gave the car too much credit, from a dig or low end they (M6) just aren't that fast.

kimeran

Ah ok, yeah that is true. Nice kill though!

I'd say the guy was in P400

I owned an E63 M6 and now have a F10 M5 as my daily. The engine characteristics couldn't be more different. The V10 had no torque and really came alive above 5000 rpm … but than pulled big time to 8200. From a dig it was sluggish and felt gutless, but from a roller it was a monster … and sounded great when all 10 throttle bodies were open all the way.

My F10 M5 has a flat torque curve of 502 ft-lb that starts at 1500 rpm all the way to 5750 rpm … pulls like a freight train from the get go. Even from a low roller it's hard to beat this car. I only drive with TC off and shift manually … There is full power right away, but in first gear you have to gently roll into the throttle or it will light up the rears and you're going nowhere.

Hhmmm interesting.
I've never been in any S85 BMWs so I can't comment on the differences.
I just feel the new V8TT motor is still low on torque at the bottom of the rev range.
Don't get me wrong, it still has loads of torque under 4000rpm, but u get a massive kick in the back once it passes the 4000rpm mark.
And its not just my old man's car, went in a friends X6M and it was exactly the same
