Continuing with its tradition of launching new vehicles, BMW launched the M6 in
1983. BMW took the engine of the M1 and the body of the 6 series and called the
new born vehicle the M6. The BMW M6 was popular with the buyers for its outer
style and good road speed. The M6 could be distinguished from the 6 series by
the huge air outlets, and the liberal use of the M label on the car's body. The
M6 was fitted with a S38 engine which could do 90 kilometers per hour in 6.4
seconds flat. When BMW stopped rolling out the M6 in 1989, 5855 of the vehicles
were left on the European and North American roads.
The second generation M6 introduced in 2005, like its predecessor, was based on
the 6 series. The engine, a V10, was the same as that of a M6. The new vehicle
could do 100 kilometers per hour in 4.6 seconds. This was achieved using
lightweight materials made of carbon fiber that have lightened the vehicle. The
vehicle was available only in the coupe version.
In 2007 BMW brought out the M6 in the coupe and convertible formats. The new
vehicle sports a 5.0 liter V 10 engine which can do 90 kilometers per hour in
4.6 seconds. The car can seat four passengers. The BMW M6 has 19 inch wheels,
and in the front of the car it has two inlets for air flow. The interior of the
car has also been paid attention to. It has leather seats that can be adjusted
12 different ways by the touch of a button. There's a new system to help the
driver reach their destination, a stereo system with 13 speakers and windows
that can be opened or shut by a seconds touch. Those wanting something more
features can get a display system for the driver, the ability to start the car
without a key and a high-end stereo system.
