The new BMW M6 Coupe.The new BMW M6 Convertible

The conceptual harmony characteristic of M Automobiles also
incorporates the specific features of the two models’ body structures. The new BMW M6 Coupe has a dynamically contoured, lightweight roof made from carbon fibre- reinforced plastic. The new BMW M6 Convertible, meanwhile, is fitted with a high-quality soft-top, complete with eye-catching “fin” styling and fully electronic opening mechanism. All of which allows the driver and passengers to enjoy the dynamic performance of a
high-performance sports car in harmony with the natural forces of the sun and wind.

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 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 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 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 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 – fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by over 30 per cent in both cases compared with their respective predecessors.

Design: athletic aura, powerfully taut surfaces, elegant lines.

Classical proportions, the sporty yet elegant lines of the BMW 6 Series and the familiar design language of BMW M Automobiles form the foundations for the eloquent body design of the BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible. Powerfully taut surfaces and precise contours underline the athletic aura of the two models. In addition, a model-specific interpretation of hallmark M styling cues includes design details which are influenced directly by technical considerations – such as the cooling air required, chassis geometry and aerodynamics – and therefore further highlight the cars’ outstanding performance attributes. This is a fine example of how the ultra-dynamic character which marks out these most focused versions of the luxurious Coupe and exclusive Convertible is accurately expressed through their design.

Wide air intakes, stunningly contoured headlight units and large,
smooth surfaces shape the front end of the new BMW M6 Coupe and
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.

An LED accent light cuts across the tops of the Adaptive LED Headlights fitted as standard on both models. Their bright white, three-dimensional
LED light rings are levelled off to striking effect at the top and lower edges. Both dipped beam and main beam use both light rings. Providing the light are LED units, which are placed on a horizontal rib running through the centre of the units and feed their light into the reflectors in front of them. This ensures that the distinctive appearance of the twin circular headlights comes across clearly in every situation. The direction indicators – in the form of horizontally arranged LED units – are integrated into the headlight units below the light rings.

The familiar M athleticism of both models is also clearly visible from the side. The front side sections of the car feature familiar M gills. Their three-dimensional shaping, wide chrome frames and indicator bars – which bear
the M logo – give them an extremely deep-set look. In tune with the wider wheel arches, the character lines around the gills are suitably prominent.
Eye-catching creases on the likewise model-specific side skirts sweep upwards, diverting the gaze to the rear wheels. The new BMW M6 Coupe and
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.

Broadening towards the road and incorporating horizontal lines and
generous surfaces, the design of the rear end hints at the stable roadholding and powerful poise and assurance of the new BMW M6 Coupe and
BMW M6 Convertible. The reflectors, positioned immediately below the
L-shaped rear lights, provide an individual expression of sportiness. However, the clearest pointer to the unmistakable identity of the two high-performance sports cars are the familiar M twin exhaust tailpipes positioned to either side of the diffuser integrated into the rear apron. The form of the outer air intakes reflects the design of the front apron in their format and the contours of their surrounds.
