BMW M6

BMW M6 is a coupe of very high performance - everything is subject to maximum effectiveness. The chassis of the BMW M6 is similar to that of an M5 except for the wheelbase (shorter) and its centre of gravity lower.

BMW M6 has nothing to do it particularly difficult to drive, despite their power. It's convenient, easy to carry and is not sharp until a certain point (or reactions, or by engine).

The biggest limitation that there is comfort to the harshness that has the suspension (especially in the stages of compression), on roads that have strong Bach. In exceptional circumstances, the car can be Scramble slightly from the record if there is a support with broken asphalt.


BMW M6

In this sense, as happens with other BMW suspension hardened. A Mercedes CL is more comfortable in these cases and less sensitive to the state soil. In roads in good condition, the level of comfort in the front seats is not very different from that which is obtained, for example, a 5 Series.

The engine is powerful and has a captivating sound. Like other engines to reach the maximum power to a regime very high (in this case are 507 hp at 7,750 rpm), you have to use the shifter with some frequency to get a response commensurate to what is expected of a car as well. Those who use this car with gear and not reach its limit, the 507 hp it may seem 'little'.

The BMW M6 wins with a speed astonishing ease. To some extent it seems not because the interior is well insulated; can reach a very high speed without being aware of it.

Anyway, not pushes shorter marches in with force and violence with which they do some more sports cars, which have less power but are lighter, like a Porsche 911 Turbo. The Mercedes CL 600 (which has a V12 bi-turbo engine of 500 hp) can also give more sense of acceleration that the BMW M6.

The driver has a series of controls on the console . They serve to change the parameters of automatic shifter (there are eleven programs; five in fully automatic mode and six in sequential mode), to change the hardness of the suspension ("EDC ':' comfort ',' normal 'and' Sports ') and to select power (P400 program; 400 hp or program-P500 Sport, 507 hp). The "EDC" also changes the feel of the address. There is another button at the base of the shifter that disconnects completely control stability.

Part of the presentation to the press took place in the circuit Ascari (Malaga). Monitors BMW says that to achieve an optimum balance between efficacy and safety must be operating option "MDrive. This function is connected by pressing the 'M' the wheel .

BMW M6

By activating the MDrive is automatically activated adjustments to maximum power, maximum hardness of the suspension and the maximum speed possible shifter. The stability control program enters a more "permissive" (which is new to BMW, is called MDynamic) and that can only be achieved by pressing the wheel.

In addition, the "Head-Up-Display (if carry), operates in a different way: in the windshield is reflected an account revolutions with three distinct areas by color, a speedometer and a number indicating the march selected.

In the program faster, changes gears occur swiftly, but also with abruptness, especially when changing to a system running very high and much stepped on the accelerator. With programs slower, the changes are much softer. Even so, it shows the change in a march to another in the form of slight shaking; this gearbox does not have the brilliant performance of the Volkswagen group of DSG.

BMW M6

It seems that BMW is not working on a gearbox of this type; Porsche itself. The box of SMG BMW M6 position does not change a sequential top gear when it reaches the limit of rotation, or when stepping on the throttle at low speeds and with a long march engaged. In sequential mode, only changes to a top gear when it reaches the maximum production mode is activated if "Launch Control".

BMW M6

Only in very pronounced curves and out of them, may be put into operation the DSC and temporarily limit the acceleration. In these specific cases, it can be more effectively bring stability control completely disconnected.

BMW M6

With the DSC connected at all times at the most "intrusive", as happens in other BMW, which comes into operation on many occasions without really seems necessary. In circuit, this means that it is very easy to run out of capacity by little acceleration that drive support in curves and begins to slip slightly.

BMW M6

Despite the roof of fiber and lighten the bumper with the rest of the Series 6, is a heavy car (1,785 kg), and as such moves. The cars of the international filing wore a few days available to other journalists. The disks were praised, which is not surprising when you use such a street car.

BMW M6

The position at the wheel is comfortable and the provision of the steering wheel and pedals ideal for driving. However, it is not one of those coupes where the sidewalk can go very low to the ground.

BMW M6

Seats are wide and very comfortable to drive many hours. Do not give an exceptional subject to the body but enough for a type of driving fast in curves. The numbers of seats BMW M6 have a pneumatic regulation of lateral support and lumbar support; regulating length of the sidewalk is manual.

BMW M6

The steering wheel (hoop thick), has the solidarity of cams shifter. They are in a position where they reach perfectly with the fingertip index or cancel. These levers are different from those who have other Series 6. The left marches and reduces the right places longest marches.

BMW M6

In the front seats there is plenty of space for people of great stature. In the rear seats there is enough space lengthwise, but lack headroom to the roof. The endorsement has little fluffy goes into a nearly vertical position. This version can not lead sunroof (it would make no sense to put a roof of carbon fiber to reduce weight and then you add the whole mechanism that involves a roof of this kind).

BMW M6

The BMW M6 can not have some elements of the interior decoration for which it has remaining Series 6. Nor others that affect the comfort, as the heated steering wheel. This option includes the dashboard and seats upholstered in leather upholstery and ceiling in Alcantara. It gives a lot of quality.

BMW M6

The instrumentation is different from the rest of the Series 6. The red zone account of revolutions start at 8,000 rpm, the speedometer indicates to 330 kph, the needles are red and in-depth account of miles is the logo M cars that distinguishes more sports BMW.
