BMW Releases First Pictures of the New M6 Coupe and Convertible

Ahead of the Geneva Motorshow, BMW have released the first pictures of the new rear-wheel drive BMW M6 Coupe and Convertible.

Closely related to the new M5, the M6 shares the same 552bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine (more powerful than its close rival, the Jaguar XKR-S) as well as the seven-speed M double-clutch transmission gearbox. The Coupe reaches 0 to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds and the Coupe in 4.3 seconds and both are electronically restricted to 155mph unless the customer goes for the M Driver's Package, which reaches a top speed of 189mph.

They are fitted with BMW’s fuel-saving EfficientDynamics technologies, resulting in less fuel consumption, and bringing CO2 emissions to 232g/km (239g/km for the convertible).

Both models are on sale in the UK on 15 September 2012, with the Coupe costing £93,795 (£20,000 more expensive than a new M5) and the Convertible £98,995.
