BMW has officially unveiled the third generation M6, in both coupe and convertible versions. The model has evolved into a powerful, athletic, focused, luxurious and efficient sports car. On the US market, the 2013 BMW M6 Coupe was the last to arrive and went on sale in the late Summer of 2012 as a 2013 model.
Designed by Adrian Van Hooydonk, from the front, the 2013 BMW M6 is wider, and features a larger air dam and lower bumper, complete with built-in splitter. There is a newly designed M kidney grille featuring an "M6" badge as an homage to the first generation M6. The grille’s black, paired kidney grille slats take their cues from the characteristic double-spoke design of the M light-alloy wheels. The car has also increased by 1.2 inches in track width and gets by powerfully flared front wheel arches, which sit flush with the wheels. The three-dimensional shaping of their air intakes and race-inspired flaps designed to control airflow to the outer air intakes also underlines the cars’ forward-surging, dynamic character. Adaptive LED Headlights also come as standard on the M6 Coupe.
At the rear there are L-shaped rear lights and reflectors positioned immediately below them. The car ask carries an aerodynamically-optimised rear apron with a diffuser slotted between the familiar M quad exhaust tailpipes.
If we look from side view, 2013 BMW M6 is streamlined and slick as you’d expect. The three-dimensional front fenders feature familiar M gills, wide chrome frames and indicator bars with the M logo. Aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors and side skirts are also good additions to the package, as is the BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line. Next you will notice some wider wheel arches and of course the 19" M light-alloy wheels in seven double-spokes in a two-tone finish. As an option you can also get 20" M light-alloy wheels in five slender double-spokes.
BMW interiors are always nice places to be in. The car has been equipped with newly developed M sports seats, Merino extended leather upholstery, an integrated belt system, a newly developed M double-spoke leather steering wheel, an M gear selector and car set-up controls on the model-specific center console, illuminated door sills with "M6" lettering, an M driver’s footrest, exclusive carbon fiber interior trim, the BMW Individual roof liner in Anthracite, 2-zone automatic climate control with extended features, and an iDrive control system with a 10.2-inch Control Display.
And to make the driving experience more pleasurable, the wheel has been equipped with two M Drive buttons, which can be used to call up a pre-configured setup for the car. For example, the driver can save a sporty configuration on the "M1" button and a track focused setup (with all driver aids shut off) on the "M2" button. Once the system has been switched off – as when the engine is started – it reverts back to a default configuration focusing on efficiency and ride comfort.
Under the hood, The 2013 BMW M6 equipped with 4.4 liter V8 M TwinPower Turbo with Twin Scroll Twin Turbo technology, a cross-bank exhaust manifold, High Precision Direct Petrol Injection and VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control. The new V8 engine delivers a total of 560 HP at 5,750 – 7,000 rpm, while its maximum torque of 500 lb-ft is on tap between 1,500. This power is can reach from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds and to 124 mph in 12.6 seconds.
