its obvious M6 Cabrio weigh 200kg more than the Coupe. Its a lot slower in acceleration and on the track. | | | | | Fanatic

I find "a lot" a bit strong. It's slower, but 2,2 seconds on 0-200 isn't a lot from a convertibal version. Also their 0-100 figures seem to be of their own, and still not that big a difference. The tracktime is also not that much slower. I think, despite the weight increase and no power upgrade, the M6 convertible stays pretty damn fast. | | | | | President

M6 Coupe is 2.1 sekonds faster than M6 Cabrio, its a lot on a small track like hockenheim. | | | | | Fanatic

Overall i'd say it's clear the coupe is them more sporty vehicle, but the M6 cabriolet is pretty good  | | | | | Devotee

You know what they say about convertibles:
9/10th the performance, 12/10th the fun.
I kinda agree. Driving such a poweful car with the roof down on a sunny day really is fantastic.
Unless, like Just_me, you only think of the track (where only 1 out of every 500 M6 go anyways) | | | | | President

LOL
The M6 cabrio is made for high speed cruising, like a Mercedes. I'm cool with that, there are other BMW models more suited for track use.
I think they did a remarkable job with this car, and it's one of my favorites in the current line-up. | | | | | President
