2. M6 Convertible is significantly slower. My guess is slower than a sedan.
3. It was also tuend bu Hartge, I dont know exactly what is done, but it is a full Hartge BMW M6 Convertible, which helped to gain what it lost on being a convertible and have huge wheels.

Are the Hartge Wheels lighter or heavier than the Stock M6 wheels?
And one more thing...
How much slower is the M6 Convertible compared to the M6 coupe? Is it even the around same as the M5 sedan?

Ah. It was actually tuned by Hartge? Regardless, I heard that the stock M6 Convertible dynos higher than average 430 rear wheel horsepower statistic.
This is due to it being significantly heavier. I heard that it dynoed around 540 horsepower crank. Being so, I believe this is around 40 horses to make up the extra 400 lbs. So it's 10 horsepower for every 100 lbs?
That is not true. That is just wrong that all the BMW M6 convertibles should have some kind of special tuning...

There may have been a freak engine that developed more power that just-so happened to be sitting in the M6 Cabriolet you are speaking about. I highly doubt that BMW would specifically give the Cabriolet an advantage on power.
The Hartge tuning of this car (correct me if I am wrong Gustav) consisted of head polishing, ECU, and exhaust. I remember someone saying the owner claims a gain of 50-60 Ps. This information was second hand and not from the owner. Maybe Gustav can verify the data.

I never said that all M6 Convertibles should have some special tuning. All I said was based on what I have heard in the past about them.
You also said it was tuned by Hartge to "make up for it is being a convertible."
