There"s no shortage of impressive figures to describe BMWs M6.

The engine and gearbox are straight from the M5, BMW"s awesome V10 giving 501bhp and 383lb ft of torque, coupled with the worlds first production 7 speed semi automatic gearbox. This means that all that raw power is available in a very controlled and useable way.

Like the M3 CSL, the M6 has a carbonfibre roof, giving a weight reduction of 4.5kg compared to the steel version and a lower centre of gravity. Combined with other weight saving measures the M6 is some 120 kgs lighter than the standard 5 series on which it is based, and with a lower centre of gravity too, giving the M6 the agility you would expect of a far smaller, lighter car.

Performance wise these figures add up to make the M6 the fastest accelerating BMW of all time, seeing 60mph in just 4.5 seconds, and de-restricted top speed of 205mph.
None of this however can begin to tell you just what an incredible machine the M6 is. From the moment you set eyes on it, you will notice the M6 is by far the most muscular looking car in BMWs current range; a snarling brute ready to break out of the clean lines of the standard 6 series.

Getting in the car does nothing to dim this impression. There are gadgets everywhere, and for everything. The ones you notice however are the nifty head up display, and the Mdrive manager. The head up display in default mode projects speed and RPM onto the lower section of the windscreen, and flashes when it"s time to change up a gear. Perhaps more novelty value than genuine usefulness, but an enjoyable novelty all the same.

There"s nothing frivolous however about the Mdrive manager. This is BMWs computer control system that changes engine, gearbox and suspension settings making the M6 many cars in one. I confess I"d been somewhat sceptical of this feature, having been disappointed with "sports mode" switches before. In the M6 however it"s a different matter completely. From a serene grand tourer you"re only the push of a button away from tyre smoking, tail out action. The Mdrive manager truly does alter the entire character of the car.
