The problem is that just like James, I also need rear seats for kids and a decent boot!
A car that I can use as a daily drive as well and not to be tiring in traffic, but when you hit the open road to be able to transform it self.
It looks to me that BMW has filled an empty hole in the car market for such a car.

The Panamera and Rapide are coming out, so those might be logical options after owning an m5 or m6.

those two cars are not driver's cars (x6&x5 M) and no real m5 or m6 owner would think of them as a replacement of their cars. about the rapide i heard that the project was cancelled and the lambo would be silly expensive. panemera is also not a driver's car. the QP is a possibility but lacks the power as someone already mentioned. Yes, M5 and M6 filled a gap of a class that make it really hard for someone to find a proper replacment.

Hi Waleed - I believe the Panamera will have a V8 Twin Turbo Version which with PDK will get you to 100kph in 4seconds flat and a top end of over 300kph - does'nt sound too bad to me. The first drive seems to imply very good handling capabilities and they are talking about it as the 4 seater 911????. Maybe it's better than we think???.
Anyway I wish they'd relook at the CS which BMW have apparently stopped???.

In way, I am glad that I am not the only one who has this dilemma!
No real contestants to the M6 when it comes to the complete package!!!
