Edmunds Evaluation: 2007 BMW M6 Convertible

It's hard to put a value on a car like this. It offers so much to the so few who can afford it. In terms of relative size, price and performance, there really is no competitor. Name another 2+2 convertible with its capabilities. Some may say the four-seater Bentley Continental GTC, but it costs a bunch more.

The Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG? Similar power and price, but no backseat at all. Jaguar XKR convertible? Close, but not the performer the M6 is. Even compared to the discontinued BMW Z8 with its mere 400-hp V8, all-aluminum construction and original $128,000 MSRP, the M6 convertible is a deal. That kind of leaves the BMW to stand alone in a class of one. And like we said, it's a nice neighborhood if you can afford it, and the songs the M6 convertible sings nearly justify the six-digit tariff.

Could this be the most vulgar gadabout-mobile money can buy today?

Stop looking at me, M6.

Isn't there a Mercedes 4-seater AMG convertible? Like CLK or SLK or whatever the hell acronym they'd use for such a vehicle?

Yup...CLK63 AMG.

I think the M6 looks good as a convertable. It looks more bloated as a coupe.

Nice but definitely not in my budget!
