That's a prety large image. 6m by 3.5m is murale scale, and you don't normaly 
expect peoples take a look at it up close to such a piece.
I'would try something around 20 to 50 ppi. Take a look a bilboards, the pdi used 
may be as low as 4 to 8 pdi! At about 1m or less, it looks very pixelated, but 
take one or two steps back and it looks all nice and smooth.

One thing you may do and get away with: make the botton 2m part at around 50 to 
80 dpi, and the part above that at only 20 to 50 dpi, maybe going down to 5 to 
20 dpi for the uper 2m.
