Munich. The BMW M6 Coupé is one of the most beautiful cars in the world, as
well as one of the finest and most powerful 6-series models there has ever
been. With its outsized chassis, stylish bodywork with an innovative
lightweight construction and the comprehensive, luxurious fittings, the big BMW
Coupé M6 opens up new dimensions in sportiness for cars. But it's not just the
BMW M6 that is in a class of its own: the painstaking manufacturing,
characteristic design and outstanding attention to detail also make the 1:18
miniature of this dynamic luxury coupé a mini-masterpiece in its own right.
When the BMW M6 was being designed, designers and developers were faced with
the challenge of giving the vehicle a unique outfit, yet at the same time
keeping its appearance similar to the BMW 6 series. The stylistic differences
are therefore subtle and yet they highlight the car's self-confident character:
wherever the M6 may be, it plays the role of a very sporty and powerful
high-performance coupé.
This is also true of the 1:18-scale miniature, which reproduces the successful
design of the BMW M6 in all its impressive detail, such as the CFRP roof
(carbon fiber reinforced plastic) that has been modelled faithfully on the
original. The alloy wheels with five stylish double spokes look just as sporty
and exclusive as the original. And even with the M6's most important
eye-catcher, the rear with the unmistakeable four round exhaust pipes, was
copied perfectly for the miniature where the only difference is its size.
The miniature edition of the BMW M6 Coupé is available in Interlagos Blue from
selected BMW dealers and on the Internet at www.bmw-shop.de.
Each model costs Euro 59 (price in Germany).
