You mean M6/8?

M = Meterspur (meter gauge)
N = Normalspur (standard gauge)

The M6/8 are too wide (2,3 m).

The only city I know, which has such small trams, is Duisburg. Their "GT 10 NC-DU" trams are 2,20m wide too. And especially designed for Duisburg; apparently such narrow trams aren't available "off-the-shelf".

Zurich, Bern and Basel have 2.2m cars, except for Combinos

Last summer, I rode by bicycle from Berlin to Kaliningrad and then back to France.The state of this interesting tram network dating from the german
period is not flourishing.On the main streets, new tracks were laid,but on
many other streets and also when the tracks are separated from the uncontrolled car trafic, tram tracks are in bad condition.Trams are dangerously " pitching" so that they have to go slowly.Only single cars are running and on many lines, even when the tracks have been renewed, there
is no tram trafic at all (especially on the north-south line behind the cathedral and Kant's grave and along the new and beautiful district on the
Staraya Pregolya bank; it also the case along the restored Königstor where
new tracks were dismantled).At all tram stations, even on streets which are
as large as motorways, ther are no islands for the security of travellers:they
have to cross all traffic lanes to get in or out the tam...Using bicycle as a daily means of transport is also not easy in Kaliningrad:
security problems when you must leave your bicycle in the street;main streets which are as large as motorways; many other streets which are in bad condition, so that it is easier to ride on the pavement...
To improve living environmental conditions in this attractive metropolitan area,
I hope that cycling as well as other sustainable modes of transport such as
tramcars will be facilitated and developped.

Why don't you explain the mistake exactly?
