The new BMW M6 Coupé and the new BMW M6 Convertible


Two new high-performance sports cars. The BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible.



The new BMW M6 Coupé.
The new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible offer top-class performance attributes and an ambience defined by luxury and innovative comfort features.
In so doing, the high-performance sports cars developed by BMW M GmbH exude a level of poise and assurance unmatched in the premium segment of the
executive class – and reflected authentically in the expressive design of the two models.





Both get the same twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V-8 used in the new BMW M5 sedan. In M6 duty, the engine is rated at 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque,
which BMW says is good for a 4.2 second run from 0 – 62 mph in a coupe equipped with BMW’s seven-speed automatic. Since the convertible will be a bit
heavier and slightly less aerodynamic, BMW says you can expect a 0 – 62 mph run in 4.3 seconds, also with the seven-speed automatic gearbox. A six-speed
manual transmission is said to be under consideration, although BMW won’t officially comment on it .



Wide air intakes, stunningly contoured headlight units and large, smooth surfaces shape the front end of the new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible.
Another eye-catching element of the car’s nose is its newly designed M kidney grille, which bears an “M6” badge. The grille’s black, paired kidney grille
slats take their cues from the characteristic double-spoke design of the M light-alloy wheels.

Classical proportions, the sporty yet elegant lines, powerfully taut surfaces and precise contours underline the athletic aura of the two models.
In addition, a model-specific interpretation of hallmark M styling cues includes design details which are influenced directly by technical considerations
– such as the cooling air required, chassis geometry and aerodynamics – and therefore further highlight the cars’ outstanding performance attributes.




The new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible are fitted with 19-inch M light-alloy wheels as standard. The forged wheels feature seven double-spokes
in a two-tone finish.

The instrument cluster with black-panel technology features classical circular instruments in traditional BMW M style, with red needles and white
illumination, as well as model-specific displays and the M logo in the rev counter.



The direction indicators – in the form of horizontally arranged LED units – are integrated into the headlight units below the light rings.



The familiar M athleticism of both models is also clearly visible from the side. The front side sections of the car feature familiar M gills.
Their three-dimensional shaping, wide chrome frames and indicator bars – which bear the M logo – give them an extremely deep-set look. In tune with
the wider wheel arches, the character lines around the gills are suitably prominent.



An LED accent light cuts across the tops of the Adaptive LED Headlights fitted as standard on both models. Their bright white, three-dimensional LED light
rings are levelled off to striking effect at the top and lower edges. Both dipped beam and main beam use both light rings. Providing the light are LED units,
 which are placed on a horizontal rib running through the centre of the units and feed their light into the reflectors in front of them. This ensures that
the distinctive appearance of the twin circular headlights comes across clearly in every situation.


The optional 20-inch M light-alloy wheels, meanwhile, hint at reduced weight with their five intricate double-spokes and allow a clear line of sight
through to the powerful braking system.


The new BMW M6 Coupe has a dynamically contoured, lightweight roof made from carbon fibre- reinforced plastic

Newly developed M sports seats offer the driver and front passenger optimum lateral support through quickly-taken corners, but also a high level of
comfort over long distances.


The new BMW M6 Convertible, meanwhile, is fitted with a high-quality soft-top, complete with eye-catching “fin” styling and fully electronic opening
mechanism. All of which allows the driver and passengers to enjoy the dynamic performance of a high-performance sports car in harmony with the natural
forces of the sun and wind.
