2013 BMW M6 Coupe and Convertible. Wide air intakes, stunningly contoured headlight units and large, smooth surfaces shape the front end of the new BMW M6 Coupe and the new 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. The 30-millimetre increase in track width over the two cars’ respective 6-Series stablemates is complemented by powerfully flared front wheel arches, which sit flush with the wheels. This extra width offers a clear nod to the optimised roadholding of these high-performance sports cars. The three-dimensional shaping of their air intakes and race-inspired flaps designed to optimise airflow to the outer air intakes likewise underline the cars’ forward-surging, dynamic character.
The motor sport technology in the new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6
Convertible paves the way for imposing performance on the race track,
but also treats the driver to a captivating driving experience on
everyday journeys from A to B. The BMW M6 Coupe sprints from 0 to 100
km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds, the BMW M6 Convertible in 4.3 seconds.
However, the dynamic character of both models is also defined by their
mid-range agility, the precision of their turn-in and traction when
accelerating out of corners, their precisely controllable handling under
intense lateral forces and their stopping capability. The latest
innovation designed to optimise the handling of the new BMW M6 Coupe and
the new BMW M6 Convertible in highly dynamic driving situations are the
M carbon-ceramic brakes, offered as an option for the first time.















Another attribute unmatched by any rival is the leap forward in
efficiency that comes with the new editions of the two high-performance
sports cars. The new BMW M6 Coupe records average fuel consumption of
9.9 litres per 100 kilometres (28.5 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of 232
grams per kilometre in the EU test cycle. The equivalent values for the
new BMW M6 Convertible are 10.3 l/100 km (27.4 mpg imp) and 239 g/km.
Despite a 10 per cent increase in engine output and a 30 per cent jump
in peak torque – to 680 Newton metres (502 lb-ft) – fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions have been reduced by over 30 per cent in both cases
compared with their respective predecessors.
The new BMW M6 Coupe and the new 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 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.
