BMW M Division presented the highlights in its MotoGP participation at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez de la Frontera: this is the car, which will be presented to the winner of the coveted BMW M Award. As you know, it is a kind of a traditions since 2003 for the racer with the best result to be given an exclusive and individually customized BMW M vehicle. This year is no exception: A BMW M6 with individual features expects its owner. In fact, the car was unveiled today at MotoGP in Circuito de Jerez
The latest BMW M6 line allows BMW M Division to maintain its leading position in the high-performance segment. The model has reached incredible balance between power, efficiency, dynamics and comfort. The power comes from the monstrous 560 hp (411 kW) M TwinPower V8 petrol engine, that gives incredible features. For example, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is measured at 4.3 seconds and the top speed is 250 km/h (138 mph). These definitely incredible stats are further boosted by the double-clutch transmission, Dynamic Damper Control and Active M Differential systems, that ensure perfect control and reaction time in every situation.
And not only the drivetrain system is impressive. The BMW M6 is visually incredible. No, it is just stunning. The vehicle comes in Frozen Blue Metallic and looks both elegant and aggressive. Further impact have the stylish 20-inch BMW alloy wheels. The interior keeps the sporty affair and comes with Merino leather in Opal White.
This is really a special car for a special event. We all wonder who the winner will be. Stay tuned for further information.
Fostla.de is a tuning company based in Germany which specializes in foil-wrapping and which is now taking it hands on the BMW M6 Convertible. The tuners have improved the model in terms of exterior appearance and styling, thus making it even more desirable and individual.
The car has been almost fully foiled in matte PWF Yellow color. Only the bonnet, front spoiler lip and parts of the exterior mirrors have been decided in black Monza carbon, in order to make the perfect contrast to the yellow and to deliver more sports-sensation.
A tint technique of 5% has been applied to the windows as well as to the headlights, taillights and indicator signals. More importantly is that this BMW received a power upgrade via an optimization of the motor control. The result is that the pwertrain now manages to generate 537 hp (395 kW) and a 545 Nm (402 lb-ft) of torque.
This increase of power also means a faster acceleration time. The enhanced M6 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h for only 4.30 seconds on its way to a top speed of 300 km/h. To make this result possible, a contribution are also making the set of Race GTR rims Breyton in the dimensions 9×22 ET30 at the front and 11.5 x 22 ET30 at the rear. They were combined with 25mm-SCC spacers and fitted with appropriate tires.
The M6 has been lowered by 25 mm via the utilization of H&R lowering springs. Finally, this M6 received a brand new race sports exhaust system delivered by Eisenmann. It comes with four oval tailpipes in 120×77 mm and has an engraved Eisenmann logo.
BMW has announced a full range of ///M Performance accessories that will retrofit to M5, M6Coupe, M6 Convertible and M6 Gran Coupe.
The exterior boasts body stripes in typical colors, a gloss black grille and an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system that is 10 kg (22 lbs) lighter than the standard unit and adds some performance. There are also a lot carbon fiber elements including mirror caps, a rear spoiler and a rear diffuser.
The interior also features carbon fiber trim elements, stainless steel pedals and BMW ///M Performance floor mats. There is also a leather and Alcantara steering wheel with a race display that shows “gear shift information as well as lateral and longitudinal acceleration values.
Last, but not least BMW offers carbon-ceramic brake system in conjunction with 20” M light-alloy wheels. It includes brake discs with a diameter of 410 mm on the front axle and 396 mm on the rear axle – 6-piston fixed calliper brakes at the front and single-piston, floating calliper brakes at the rear. The M carbon-ceramic brake system weighs 19.4 kg (43 lbs) less than the series production version.
All products of the BMW M Performance programme as well as the original BMW accessory range conform to the outstandingly high standards of the BMW Group in terms of design, quality and safety and are subject to the comprehensive BMW conditions of warranty.
The latest from the M division comes in the form of an M6 – Coupe and Convertible. It has retained its characteristic body line and still is the ultimate in gran touring thanks to its V8 M TwinPower Turbo engine and clever design. BMW‘s EfficientDynamics on the other hand keep it frugal and refined.
The profile is familiar but there are bodily innovations – a new front apron has been introduced with massive, honeycombed air-intake patches. No matter how massive however, they are unable to steal away the headlamp department which features the characteristic BMW Corona rings that make use of the latest Adaptive LED headlight technology. A 30 mm increase of the front track has resulted in a noticeable swelling of the wheel arches which are as ever complemented by the indicator and M badge housing gills behind them. At the back we have quad tail pipes separated into two pairs, flanking the clever diffuser. The M6 sits on 19-inch alloy wheels in a star-spoke (seven double spokes) design that come in two finishes. Alternatively, as an option one can go with the 20-inch ones that have five double spokes for the sake of lighness. As always, lightness for the Coupe is also guaranteed by the carbon-fibre reinforced plastic roof panel which lowers the center of gravity significantly with improved agility and handling as an end result. In the mean time, the Convertible M6 gets the standard 6 Series Convertible retractable roof with its independent retractable rear window. The party piece is the fact that you can operate it while in motion of up to 25 mph.
BMW M6 Coupe (2013)
Inside, the M6 is a blend of luxury and sportiness – Merino leather everywhere while an instrument fascia featuring a Black Panel technology, dials with red needles and white backgrounds adorn the dashboard. The windscreen is also affected as a HUD display provides speed readout and speed limit identification, gear and rev counter and shift lights to the driver. It’s not all flash and glam though. The new M6 has more space inside and a luggage capacity of 460 litres (300-350 litres for the M6 Convertible). The M Sport seats are more complicated than a smartphone with their electric pneumatic adjustments and the manually adjustable under thigh support.
The power plant for the new M’s is the same one found in the M5 – a mighty 560 hp V8 M TwinPower Turbo 4.4 petrol unit. That’s 53 more hp than the V10 predecessor. Put your foot down behind one of these V8‘s and you’ll be greeted by a maximum torque of 680Nm as early as 1500 rpm and will be escorted by it up until 5,750rpm. That is a lot of power at your disposal ready to thrust you back into your seat when pressed. Deep down in the confounds of the engine one would find the reason for all of that grunt – twin turbochargers built in to the twin scroll principle and direct fuel injection plus a Valvetronic variable valve timing and Double VANOS continuously variable camshaft control – that translates into 0-62mph sprint of just 4.2 seconds for the M6 Coupé, with the M6 Convertible following at 4.3 seconds. The top speed limiter starts screaming at the 155 mph mark. It’s not all muscle and grease though. Thanks to BMW’s EfficientDynamics technology, the M6 has a Stop/Start function, Brake Energy Regeneration and Active Aerodynamics – all of which help reduce consumption up to 30% in comparison to previous models: The M6 Coupé has a combined fuel consumption of 28.5mpg(Convertible 27.4mpg) with CO2 emissions of 232g/km (Convertible 239g/km).
As standard, all that power coming from the engine is digested trough a seven-speed Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) with DRIVELOGIC. It is a uniquely complex and high-tech gearbox that has three modes of shifting (thanks to the logic thing) so that the driver has the freedom to chose a style from sportiness to comfort. It also allows manual shifting trough the paddles behind the wheel or the gearstick.

Surely, with that kind of power, one needs some stability feedback from the chassis. That is why M engineers have fiddled in that area as well – The rear axle subframe has been bolted directly to the body while the front axle kinematics have been redesigned with M-specific settings, and a number of 6 Series suspension components replaced with forged aluminum items. The shock absorbers are electro-hydraulically operated trough the car’s Variable Damper Control (VDC) again with three settings. Driver aids come in many abbreviations such as DSC, ABS, CBC and DBC but thankfully all can be overridden with the very important M Dynamic Mode (MDM) which allows you to do what one must do with an M car – wheel spinning, oversteer and other tire-destructive activities. For the braking power, the M6 comes as standard with 400mm front discs and 396mm rear discs clamped by six-piston calipers (at the front at least). Novice or trackday drivers can opt for the Ceramic Brakes which are more heat resistant and counter fading after much abuse.
It all sounds really wonderful but will it be a better value from the M5? There is no answer to that question as both cars have target groups: The M6 is for the hardcore performance bachelors while the M5 is for the hardcore performance family men.
