CNET On Cars - BMW's M6 Gran Coupe: Going fast in a four-door

[@TravellerBrianN]

I think most people don't understand Brian Cooley's reviews. If you are a race car driver, you wouldn't be watching car reviews. These reviews are for the majority of us that spend 99.99% on the street and hearing the unbiased opinion of a somewhat regular person (Brian is extremely tech savvy). You are in the wrong place if you are analyzing the video and scrutinizing how he is or isn't hitting every apex and managing over/under steer. Go watch various other channels or watch some people's track videos. I highly enjoy Brian's reviews and I think CNet hits a niche that all that other oversteering, sideways inducing 'hooligans'/track battle, every 'millisecond counts' race car driver/reviewers don't.

[@blueonblack83]

I find him rather entertaining as well.

[@longtailgt]

Brian Ngan Exactly. I enjoy his reviews a lot! Okay, he's not Jeremy Clarkson or one of the Motor Trend guys, but his reviews are quite simple and honest.

[@suprememaxpayne]

Wow that blue is gorgeous!

[@kentemple5196]

"I do love this car. But with your money!" Brilliant closure! I just love that. :D

[@owensdad08]

BMW... the ultimate driving experience

[@abelucious]

one of the best looking 4 door BMW since the E39 , i just cant believe with all those plastic fenders and aluminum doors it still weighs 4400 pounds,

[@hendradi3031]

Best BMW ever made.

[@TheKiing81]

i love m6 coupe....(4door).... i love Brian C.... hes back!!!

[@DasnarkyRemarky]

All in all i do love this car, but with your money- Brian Cooley Nice!

[@MrSmoneal3]

This dude is CNET. That's it

[@loosevoltage1968]

Why have u stopped making these videos????????

[@JoeTheViewer]

That was some slick animation!

[@kensg]

Mr Cooley..you are too much, "I love this car but...with your money."

[@TheM6]

I just looooooovvvvve it!!

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Cooley they shift paddles are supposed to be on the wheel just like it is on race cars so that you can shift out of turns without taking your hands from the wheel. If you would be a race you would probably agree. The way Ferrari/Maserati and some other manufacturers do is not for the 9/3 o clock driver cause is and out of turns you can't pull the paddles... And I disagree with the driveline noise. It sounds totally fine to me. Might be different on CA streets. Not sure. (*I have had a test car for 2 weeks in Germany.)

[@Kaipeternicolas]

ormand3000 wow you are an idiot. Have you even driven cars with fixed paddles and steering wheel mounted paddles? Probably not. The incompetence of people posting on KZbin is just insane. Including you. First of all, you don't shift if you turn more than 160ish degrees so your "twizzler" comment is already out the door. Second, have you ever watched any car racing in your life? Is there any racing car that has fixed paddles? Are they complaining about twizzler arms? I know, crazy right? Now you gonna say "but that's on a race track, bla bla bla" yes but paddle shifters are made for when driving "fast" and track oriented. Go drive a Lambo or a Ferrari, you will see how annoying it is to take the HANDS OFF THE WHEEL to shift while accelerating out of a corner. Defeats the purpose of the paddles.

[@Kaipeternicolas]

ormand3000 Probably never heard of the 9/3 o clock position either. I'm arguing with an intellectual. Not...

[@Kaipeternicolas]

ormand3000 Here this is only for you cause I know you don't know much about this. You can see several times how the driver needs to take his hand away from the wheel to shift, which doesn't really make things easier. That's why the German engineers have wheel mounted paddles in all cars. Cause they are well thought out. When I turn around my car, I don't need to use my paddles to shift. /watch?v=fX4lXycTTsw

[@MKRM27]

Kaipeternicolas Your opening comment was calling someone an idiot; how do you ever expect to be taken seriously wish that kind of behaviour?

[@andreshates]

such a beautiful car! which is the most expensive M car then?

[@soungchea1366]

You Are Very Good, with the M6 and G-Class

[@Yemoko]

love that freaking car!!!!

[@20ilunga]

My dream car probably my next one

[@A_guan]

Should I get the m6 Gran Coupe or the 750i xDrive?

[@hellow10011]

Can you do a video on subaru STI?

[@Industrialguy84]

what color is that? blue metallic or san marino metallic!

[@NikoBell12]

Honestly, I like this thing, but I'd rather have a 650i. Its a little more reasonable in price and to me it just looks better. The M "kit" on this thing fits the coupe more than it does this.

[@joivanportobrito9450]

[@LacoteCohen]

Love this beast!

[@doomtomb3]

WHY SHOULD THE PADDLE SHIFTERS BE ON THE STEERING COLUMN?

[@emantabrizi]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

[@kevper96]

this has more house power than three m4?

[@gembi92]

Way more bhp.

[@heitorgq]

Very cheap in US. In Brazil I paid $ 280000,00 dolars for this Car. But it is amazing, I love my Car.

[@DocHavoc0512]

this car runs about 140,000 in Dealerships...

[@DocHavoc0512]

Terrance Collins in the USA

[@Dardania07]

I'd rather have this M6 than a Aventador or a Ferarri just everything on this car is better from inside and outside

[@zallouzayoussfi9815]

Amin to that 😌

[@indritdrabo5024]

love thisss

[@AsifLicious]

Why would you want paddles on the stock lol

[@lilripstaSSF4]

asif naseri formula 1 racing is why paddles on stock is better

[@Nordmore68]

"...and a pair of twin-scroll turbos..." No, it has a pair of ordinary turbos with variable geometry. What wannabe-expert is this? I am no expert, but M5/M6 has not got any twin-scroll turbos like i.e. the 328i.

[@MKRM27]

Really don't see the point of the helmet

[@kyledesiderio_]

Whats with his helmet it looks too small for him

[@Luigy2111]

I was so close to owning a bmw 650 convertible 2014......But I realized that 3 people brought them back to the dealer because they were having engine issues and I was highly discouraged :/......hopefully the m4 won't be as bad....

[@ImpactByEclipse]

Anyone but BMW? Heard of Maserati?

[@zhanfengliang1420]

Hi, Anyone here actually had any experience with this car? My friend took 1st place on a time attack event with this 4 door monster a few days ago, with two Ferrari Speciale following 2nd and 3rd place. I have not actually been in this car and thats why i am confused here. How good this car really is?? I mean man, the opponents are 458 speciale. (And one of the 458 drivers had been driving 430 SC on track for years.)

[@alialmulla4616]

This car is faster than a Nissan gtr, that can say it all!

[@KnightSRB]

Zhanfeng Liang its till that how much good car u know drive...never mind Ferrari or BMW...

[@jordanl5064]

I would rather get a 750 Li newest model.

[@davesilva75]

I'll own this car in 6 yrs. ..lol

[@zallouzayoussfi9815]

Only 2 years to go

[@ChrisBred4s]

Pick it up yet? It’s been about 6 years now lol

[@TJC450]

Did you ?

[@RASHAD321979]

WHO IS THE KUBOMBA PERSON ON INSTAGRAM? ???

[@lifesavrdwd]

140,000.00 that has rear end noise? BMW really what is it for? You can't drive a car like that on California freeways without every Highway Patrol looking at you with their radar. So to me it is all ego. Also with the way things are going with cars today it will be out of date next year! Of course I would never have the money to even buy a BMW so maybe all my bitching is me just being jealous?

[@mrfortlauderdale]

Yep - just you being jealous...work hard play harder...

[@aiminamiable]

I have a 2013 BMW 650I gran coupe. The worst car with so many reliability issues that I would give it away if I didn't lease it.But payments are reasonable at $1,200 a month.

[@NikoBell12]

$1200 a month, god damn. I like the 650i, but I heard it drinks up a lot of oil. I doubt its the "worst car" however.

[@juansmith615]

Hmmm coley

[@tobym5]

The trouble with this review is the guy sounds like a salesman and not anyone who understands or is able to drive properly. His comments should relate to other cars by comparison to give the listener something to relate to. I own an M6 GC and reading most of the comments below suggest they don't. Don't speculate on something you know nothing about. A truly great car that covers most bases, looks for a big four door car are sleek and very well penned. Plenty of space and easy to use as a daily, fuel consumption and range are excellent for it's power and size. Technology works seamlessly well, not sure what I would have bought as anything near.

[@tytykoolkat]

He works for cnet. His main focus is the technology not the driving experience.

[@TheWorldofVee]

Brian Cooley might be a tech geek, but he knows more about cars, driving, and engines than you or I could ever hope to forget.

[@ishowyouapple]

R8 over this any day

[@NikoBell12]

That is like saying GT-R over anything that can't do 0-60 under 2.8 seconds. Its stupid and nobody cars. I'd prefer this car.

[@danielskk3]

Formula 1 over R8 any day! See? there was no point on what you have said

[@koovidsrcool]

NikoBell12 agreed. GTR is too nerdy and only good for launching. This car does it all.

[@screwloose455]

The guy looks like a TERRIBLE driver...understeering half the time and over correcting when it gets loose.

[@jacobstys5547]

🐘

[@Toyota4Life]

This car seems like a money pit. Cool car tho

[@hibritto]

Shyt that's expensive now! in 10 years with 250k kms I'm sure I can find 1 for 10k lol

[@jordanl5064]

Wtf?

[@Baber1]

+hibritto too funny exactly what i was thinking (after maybe the robbing a babnk idea... hmmmm.....)

[@zatharos6427]

Its just a reskinned M5…

[@britth1167]

This guy needs a different job... He can't give tips on anything about cars his not a car guy and far from a racer... how u going to review a car on a track if u don't even know we're the shift paddles should be...

[@ericmarentette]

britt h lots of supercars/track cars have the shift paddles on the column and not on the wheel.

[@ishowyouapple]

It's ugggllyyy that's for sure

[@hipposnakeyo]

I used to love BMWs, but nowadays the brand is all about luxury, like a total Mercedes wannabe

[@kwaseb]

$140k? Who would even believe me wen I tell them? For dat money I won't buy this m6

[@QuietStormX]

Blah, Blah and Blah so you chooses the DCT than the 6spd manual where you don't take the hit on the DCT and loose the Fun of Driving than riding with paddles than Stick & peddles witch I would choose in my M Cars.

[@sferris33]

Shoot. At that price. Just go with a Tesla and save a lot of money on gas.

[@saadqureshi7127]

you could get a 16 camaro ss 0-60 in 3.9sec and Tesla s for that price.

[@saadqureshi7127]

Cars Life True. The Mercedes c63 amg is also a good choice.

[@CarTVOriginal]

CLS63 AMG S Model over this, its cheaper anyways..

[@NikoBell12]

Yeah and it is also the worse out of all "4-door coupes". Looks ugly, drives mediocre, and the tech is bad.

[@judgestevo]

Boring

[@20ilunga]

then why are you watching????

[@xstepper]

Who takes that whale to the track. Lol. Amv8 gt for 50 less

[@RxSwolldier]

LOOOL WHALE

[@619fantanic619]

BORING MOTOR WORKS

[@feminazikillerknight6233]

this is garbage my c63 s from 0 to 60 miles 3.8 secs

[@feminazikillerknight6233]

+Cars Life i am comparing this shit m6 and my c 63 s

[@MP-gh3em]

I have m6 grancoupe and c63 s amg coupe but m6 is faster than c63 s (both stock)

[@godbornplus]

Do a rolling start in the c63 vs a m6. The reason it doesn't have a great 0-60 is because it puts to much power that it spins the wheels. In a rolling it absolutely eats cars.
