An M6 has a .5 ratio 6th gear. According to my spreadsheet, you should be turning 1880 rpm @ 70mph. My A4 turns close to 2500 in 4th gear, and it's .7 ratio. This is with stock 25.6" tires.

Sounds about right - you can measure the exact tire diameter and check it against the calculator at www.f-body.org/gears/ Even when replacing the stock tires with the same size the diameter can change a little from manufacturer to manufacturer.
