BMW has announced pricing for the new M6 Cabriolet of £86,400 in the U.K. That’s roughly eight percent more than the coupe’s £79,760 price tag. By that logic, we suspect U.S. pricing will land around $104,795, compared to the coupe’s $96,795. Such pricing would create an interesting niche for the ragtop M6, as the similarly performing Mercedes SL55 roadster costs around $21,000 more, and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet costs $11,000 less. Stay tuned for official pricing in the near future. Update: BMW has reportedly told dealers (though not the press) that the car will be priced at $104,995 — right in line with our estimate.

I would get this M6 over any 911 Cabriolet. As much as I love 911s, they are kind of ugly as convertibles. SLs are everywhere where I live. 911s are like Corvettes on the Main Line.
Formula 1 derived BMW V10 motor is definitely something special.

I’d rather have the 911, with better reliability and build quality and its good looks (compared to the FUGLY M6, which is the ugliest BMW, and that says a lot).

Ehhh SL is way overpriced and never really liked it. M6 is so, so, fugly and the SMG bothers me when I drove it. It would have to be either the 911 or the new XKR.

BMW announced pricing several days ago. It’s $104995 including destination, so you were pretty close.

An attractive car, but I’d rather get my hands on an M3 before Chris Bangle messes that car up too.

At first I didnt think the 6-series would really compete with the SL but I’d definitely take an M6 cab over an SL55 ANY day. As for the Porsche, its really in a different class altogether and for enthusiasts, the Porsche would be the choice everytime if luxury etc was not a factor as it is in the M and SL.

It most certainly should be a GM fansite. Everyone would rather discuss real cars so they should concentrate on what the next GM vehicle should be. LLN would be smart to continue its articles on GM superiority rather than a waste of space like the next Nazi Bratmobile or Japcrap.

I find it funny that you people waste your time on Gm number1-4ever, he is kidding around and is asking for your attention.
104 grand seems like quite a bit… I guess that’s what you get though for the price

I think that new Maserati Coupe will be a cooler car than all of these.

Renton, do you have a link with info on the new Mas coupe? I heard it would no longer share Ferrari parts, which is a shame, due to cost-cutting etc and new ownership or the like…

I don’t see Mas not using Ferrari parts, especially since it would be cheaper to produce more Ferrari parts and use them in Mas cars than to make parts especially for Mas. And Alfa is too down market to use parts from say a 159 in a Mas.

Asher _ I read that he new Maserati Coupe will basically be a shortened version of the Quattroporte; which is almost all Ferrari. The current Coupe/Spyder uses a dicarded Pininfarina chassis and a Ferrari motor/drivetrain. The quattroporte is 100% designed by Ferrari.
I would not be cost effective to manufacture new parts when you have Ferrari parts right there at your diposal. It is still a business.
I look at them all as poor mans Ferraris, despite what the marketing execs say. They are very concerned that Ferrari will be cheapened if the word gets out thet there is a lot of Ferrrari content in a Maserati. There was a movement to take the company public a few months ago and that is why all the “not that much Ferrrari in a Maserati” talk. When you hear a Maserati blast by you, the sound is unreal.
I am fortunate to actually live near a Ferrari dealer, ALGAR in Bryn Mawr,PA. Those guys will tell you there is a lot of Ferrari in those Maseratis.
One of the salesmen told me the current Coupe drives just like a 456GT.
Has anyone looked at the prices of just a few years old Coupe? They can be had for like under $60K with just a few miles on them. Absolute bargains. Very good looking, with stunning interiors.

One of my clients has a Quattroporte and just freaking loves it. He had some issues with the manumatic tranny at first but some software changes have made it better. He says it still luggs around town some in auto mode but much better then before.
It sounds great and looks even better. He has the Executive GT which is around 115,000 dollars and at that price point it is a freaking bargin.

The M6 convertible’s closest competitor is probably the XLR-V.
