Well, I haven't driven an M6 (Or a 6 for that matter), but I did drive the wheels off a 745Li, when my friend was still living in TX.

As big as that car is, it's a damn-shame how swiftly (and effortlessly) it can get to 100- and that's with "only" 325 HP. While the 750 will probably not be a huge jump in performance, I can only imagine how the V12 760 pulls, or the M5/M6 with their 500 HP V10's...

x4 on the Mini Cooper-

I've got shoulders 4daze (Size 56 jacket), and stand 6'2", and I fit in a Mini Cooper just fine.

My Accounting Professor (6'7") and I, went to sit in one of my classmate's Mini, and we both had room, he in the driver seat, and me in the passenger seat. He had a similiar concern- at teh size of his friend (and his subsequent choice of a purple Mini), as it being too small for a real man.

Well, if 6'7", 220, and 6'2" 320+ had room in a mini- anyone shorter than 6'7", or lighter than 320, should fit quite nicely...

Legroom. Didn't have enough, knees where in the dashboard. Was a convertable so I couldn't tell you about headroom. Was plenty wide enough.

Both, they are both partners in different law firms doing international corporate litigation. They can afford it, he has a Mercedes SL 500. Even if I could afford it, don't see me paying that much for a car unless it was a collector car.

Did you have the seat all the way back!?

I can't even explain how much room the front occupants could have if you had the seat all the way back.

Yeah, was only like 4-6 inches left for the rear seat. I can explain how much room the front occupants have - NOT ENOUGH.

BMW's Tech specs list a SMG and a standard manual transmission for the M6...

By occupants, I meant humans.

This one had a clutch, and a short throw shifter. You could skip a gear too. There was no delay, you let out on the clutch, it popped you back.

She couldn't find a stick big enough to beat me off of her if she was driving that (or anything for that matter).
