The 6 series has bigger wheels and a louder exhaust, but other than that, are the rest of the components on the 2 cars the same?

So basically the 5 Series is just a 6 Series with a different body and 2 more doors?

You can look at it that way or the opposite way -- the 6-series is a 5-series with two less doors...

I'd say the 6 is a sport coupe version of the 5...

I'm not sure what you are saying. Do you mean Hamann is building or modifying you a 645?


Quick Reply: Is the 5 series basically the same as the 6 Series
