BMW M6 Fan Blog

BMW M6 series represents the high performance series of BMW sports cars loaded with plenty of power punch, and top notch amenities.

The BMW M6 was originally launched in 1983, as combination of the M1 engine and the body of a 6 series.

Key visual differences at this point were the large air outlets and the “M” label all over the car, to make it stand apart from its 2 predecessors.

The top speed to the sports car is electronically limited to 155 miles per hour otherwise it has the capability to achieve top speed of more than 200 miles per hour.

First Generation (1983 – 1989)

Equipped with a S38 engine, with a 0 to 60 time of under 7 seconds, the last of the 1st Generation models were produced in 1989. Although they were the first, they set what was to come for later m6 models.

Second Generation (2005 – Current)

The 2nd Generation BMW M6 models were based on yet again the 6 series. Using a V10 engine that could do 0 to 60 around 5 seconds, this car featured carbon fiber like materials to strip weight off of the vehicle. In 2007 the car was now offered as a convertible, with an engine that cut its 0 to 60 time very well. In addition to the powerful engine, collaboration with other components are used to only achieve greater performance.

The 2006 BMW M6 is powered by a 5.0 liter V10 engine that produces power up to 507 hp. The engine in the sports luxury car is mated to a standard 7-speed SMG transmission. With the powerful engine equipped, this superb sports car can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in a time span of just 4.6 seconds.

The length, width and the height of the vehicle were 190.9 inches, 72.3 inches and 53.7 inches respectively. It had the fuel economy of 12 miles per gallon in the city premises, while it had 18 miles per gallon on the highway roads. The new BMW M6 is available in both convertible and coupe versions.

Whether you prefer a coupe or convertible, both are made out of lightweight aluminum, carbon fiber, and composite materials to further reduce the weight and enhance performance. Other notable features are 19 inch alloy wheels, M Sport heated front seats, M Drive button on steering wheel to save driving settings.

Current BMW M6 models include the use of many high-quality materials in order to “surpass” the competition, in both performance and style.

A 5.0 Liter V10 Engine
19 Inch Wheels
Room For Four
