The New BMW M6 Coupe Competition Package

More potent Competition Package for BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible. Hitting the dynamic heights with 441 kW/600 hp.

Munich.In July2015 BMW M GmbH will replace the existing Competition Packagefor the BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible with an upgraded version. The newCompetition Packagehas been developed with a keen eye on enhancing driving dynamics.It includes a power boost for the4.4-litre V8 petrol engine withM TwinPower Turbo technology(BMW M6 Coupe/BMW M6 Gran Coupe/BMW M6 Convertible: fuel consumptioncombined: 9.9/9.9/10.3 l/100 km[28.5/28.5/27.4 mpg imp]; CO2emissionscombined: 231/231/239 g/km)* of 29kW/40hpover the standard unit, to441kW/600hp. Peaktorquealso rises, from680 Nm (501 lb-ft) in standard tuneto700 Nm(516 lb-ft), and is available across an extremely wide rev band –between 1,500and 6,000 rpm.

New personal best for theBMW M6 Coupe: 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 11.8 seconds. The three model variants impress with outstanding performancewhen fitted with thenewoptionalCompetition Package. For example, the sprint from0 to100 km/h (62mph) is all over in 3.9 seconds in the BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Gran Coupeor 4.0 seconds in the BMW M6 Convertible. What’s more, theBMW M6 Coupe requires just 11.8 seconds to power from 0–200 km/h (124 mph), making it 0.6 secondsfaster to the mark than with theprevious version of the Competition Package(423 kW/575 hp). Thetop speedof allCompetition models is electronically limited to250 km/h (155 mph), but can be stoked to305 km/h (189 mph)by specifying theoptionalM Driver’s Package.

The Competition Packageincludes various measures designed to appreciably enrich the cars’ handling. Here the same principle applies as in the development of allBMW M cars: the chassis technology is tuned precisely to the performance characteristics of the powertrain. The result is maximum performance combined with assured and precisely controllable responses at all times –even when pushing the dynamic envelope. To this end, the springs, dampers andanti-roll barsall get firmer tuning. The Active M Differential on the final driveworks with its own control unit to further improve traction, allowing the driver to accelerate even more dynamically out of tight corners, for example. The steering with M-specific Servotronic function has more direct mappingwhile the M Dynamic Mode of theDSC(Dynamic StabilityControl)systemis focused even more intentlyon delivering sporty handling.

Externally, theBMW M6 Competition models make hearts beat faster with exclusive 20-inchM light-alloy wheels(double-spoke 601M, bi-colour) and mixed tyres, plus black chrome twin tailpipesfor the sports exhaust system.

TheBMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M6 ConvertiblewithCompetition Packagewill be available from July 2015.
