That's definitely true. We wanted to include both prices, since our Showdown episode on the BMW X3 and Mazda CX-5 didn't take new cars for both comparisons, and we didn't do that here either. But you're right, the BMW is significantly more when new.

BMWs are remarkable vehicles. The only thing I fancy in the Cadillac is the 32 Bose speakers and the Android Auto. Americans are always proud of their product..... It's expected just look at Apple. But you must be nuts to say the 2017 BMW is boring. That thing is a master piece and so is the S class. Honestly, the Cadillac should not be compared to this 7 series, it's a mismatch. I was at Hyundai Queens last week and I was handed a leaflet of the G90, they had the balls to compare the G90 to the S Class and 7 series.

We can't get enough of them, we'd love to be able to feature more full size luxury sedans.

The CT6 has all-wheel drive, without the transverse engine. Different modes allocate more power to the front. In performance mode most of the power is from the rear, I believe 80%. Also, rear wheels are steerable on the CT6, and they turn different ways depending upon your speed. The magnetic ride is very smooth. The Omega platform is the latest in GM design, and allows for a light vehicle despite the size, but the magnetic ride control gives it a solid feel. These are important points that I thought you might bring up. Perhaps the BMW has similar features? I just bought a low mileage used 2017 Platinum twin turbo CT-6, and I am very pleased with it. Years ago I had a CTS-V that I also loved, but this feels like a much bigger car still with lots of sport to go along with it. After I drive it a while I may move up the the twin turbo V-8 in a year or two, but the V-6 has plenty of go. Love the Caddy, but that's not to say that the BMW isn't also really nice.

Lucky for us the BMW was in the showroom when we filmed it, and the Cadillac got a nice car wash up the street prior to filming. Doesn't always happen that way though.

"The only excuse for excessive price is outrageous performance." Enzo Ferrari said that, and the CT6 doesn't measure up to the Bimmer, being around a second slower to 60, and slower in the 1/4 mi as well.

That really is the question, right? Both are going to lose value quickly, any large luxury car will. The BMW might lose a larger percentage over the Cadillac, but the CT6 will likely still be more affordable.

They don't call it the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE for nothing - - my 7 series runs like a Champ and has had ZERO major mechanical problems at 50k miles thus far! My prior 7-series (740iL) had 208K miles WITH THE ORIGINAL Transmission - - treat 'em well, and they are long lasting!

The DWS is an all season tire, here in Southern California thats all we need. But no joke on the ride difference. I checked tire rack ratings, and ended up with those based off their videos and ratings. I also have the DWS, of 2016/2017 since they made a newer model.

I am drawn to the BMW by the accent lighting, but short of an unusual demo deal, I'd go to the Caddy and maybe get a different color scheme: Green metallic exterior and tan leather interior.

The CT6 does have ambient lighting. Mine does. You just can't change the colors. It's in the front and the back but the lighting is more suttle than in the BMW.

@PRNTestDrive

It's why we've been saying for some time now that there needs to be a standard definition of what ambient lighting is, versus mood lighting. One allows you to control colours, which is what we here at TestDrive consider ambient, whereas a single shade in limited capacity is what we consider mood lighting.

Kudos to Cadillac for this latest CT6 but hopefully with their new V8 twin turbo(550hp)! version they will beef up their suspension with the wonderfully magnetic ride control setup & really make the adjustability settings class leading. Making this cruiser a surefooted ride handling beast. More effort in the cabin design also would be a welcoming addition. More modern aesthetics would put you a lot closer in terms of sophistication & class.

I really prefer the interior and outerior design of the CT6. Don't need all this stuff and engine performance. Is GM not selling a less powerful and smaller version of the Ct6? I'm getting tired of all the BMWs here in Germany.

I'd try to aim for one of the 2019-2020 models as they updated the styling before killing it off.

As much as I love and aspire to own a new Cadillac, especially one as nice as that test CT6, but in TRI Tone Pearl White with the lighter interior, over and BMW, I have to honestly say at 96k, that BMW is a screaming deal! But sadly I’m never gonna be close to that kind of money for a car or Truck. But a nice V6 powered ATS? AWD? For less than half the price of the BMW special? Of yea! That’s exactly what I’m looking at, in price point, but I’m also looking at full size trucks and the Dodge Charger that can be had for around 40 k with 485 hp! I believe it’s all coming down to what I can find at what deal when I’m ready.

There's no doubt that the 7 Series is a steal at that price, but it's also significantly out of our budget too. There's a lot of great cars out there that provide near-premium experiences for significantly less. I think we're going to see a shift in the marketplace towards a better experience, now that high-end features usually exclusive to cars like the S-Class and 7 Series are trickling down to consumer vehicles.
