Like the M5 on which it's mechanically based, the 2018 BMW M6 Gran Coupe gets the full M division treatment, at least compared to the standard 6 Series Gran Coupe.

CONS By sedan standards, offers modest headroom and rear-seat legroom Feels big and heavy around tight turns Commands significant premium over the M5 on which it's based
