2007 BMW M6 - Wallpapers, Reviews, Photos, Pics, Articles, Specs, Pricing WHAT ACURA HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS CAR: Souce: BMW USA More than 15 years after the M6 last graced these shores, the engineers from BMW M GmbH have created a truly awe inspiring Sports Coupe; the all-new M6. Based on the new 6 Series, the new M6 shares its drivetrain with the recently introduced M5. The new V-10 produces 500 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. Engineered to rev with a redline of 8,250, this new engine offers 100 horsepower per liter of displacement. Pure race-car territory. From rest, 60 miles per hour is reached in well under five seconds. The rush of acceleration never lets up until the electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. The top speed may be limited, but with the speedometer reaching all the way to 205 mph, the mind conjures intriguing possibilities. To complement its performance potential, the M6 is equipped with generously sized high-performance brakes with cross-drilled compound brake discs. The 6 Series incorporates impressive lightweight technology with extensive use of aluminum, as well as thermoplastics and sheet-molded compound. But with the addition of a carbon-fiber roof, the M6 takes weight-saving engineering to a new level. The all-new BMW M6 combines the comfort and amenities one expects of a luxury coupe with the performance capability and driving experience that can be provided by few cars of any type. There is still no confirmed date for the launch of the M6 in the U.S., but typically M cars come to market two years after the launch of the core model, the 645Ci in this case, which launched in the Spring of 2004. M6 Official Press Release: Woodcliff Lake, NJ, December 14, 2004… It has been 15 years since the M6 last graced these shores. With the new M6, which is based on the new 6 Series, the engineers from BMW M GmbH have created a truly awe inspiring sports coupe. The new M6 shares
its drivetrain with the recently introduced M5. The new V10 produces
Race inspired, high
revving V10 The new V10 features double-VANOS variable valve timing. Each cylinder has its own electronically controlled throttle butterfly. The new MS S65 engine management system uses the most powerful processors currently approved for use in automobiles. It has been designed specifically to deal with the V10’s high output and high revs as well as the comprehensive controls that are required. Seven-speed SMG
gearbox features Drivelogic With Drivelogic, at the driver’s disposal are eleven program options. This enables the SMG’s shift characteristics to be tailored to suit the driving situation and the mood. Six of these programs can be selected in the sequential manual gearbox mode (S mode). These programs adjust shifting speed and style because, in the S mode, the driver does all the shifting. In the Drive (D mode) the transmission shifts automatically, depending on which of the five programs is selected, the driving situation, the road speed and the position of the accelerator pedal. Taken together the drivetrain of the new M6 provides truly awe inspiring performance. From rest 60 miles per hour will be reached in well under five seconds. The rush of acceleration never lets up until the electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. The top speed may be limited but with the speedometer reaching all the way to 205 mph, the mind conjures intriguing possibilities. The perfect blend
of ride comfort and agility The Dynamic Stability Control system in the M6 has been designed to suit its performance. Of course, the DSC can be deactivated at the push of a button. The M6’s DSC also offers the choice of two driving dynamics programs. One allows DSC to function the way it always has. At the touch of a button, the M Dynamic Mode is engaged which lets DSC facilitate more spirited driving. To ensure that this level of handling does not compromise ride quality, the new M6 features Electronic Damping Control, with three program modes (comfort, normal, sport). EDC constantly adjusts the suspension to suit the driving conditions. To complement its performance potential, the M6 is equipped with generously sized high performance brakes with perforated compound brake discs. The aluminum twin-piston brake calipers have been designed for minimum unsprung weight and maximum stiffness. They will haul the new M6 to a stop from 62 mph (100 km/h) in under 120 feet and from 124 mph (200 km/h) in just under 460 feet. Styling is subtle
but purposeful The 6 Series already incorporates impressive lightweight technology with extensive use of aluminum as well as thermoplastics and sheet molded compound. In an effort to keep weight to a minimum, the M6 goes a step further with the addition of a carbon-fiber roof. As a full 2+2 the M6 offers generous seating for four. The large trunk boasts plenty of room for luggage. The exclusive leather interior features sports seats. Other styling touches, from the instrument cluster to the center console and the steering wheel are all unique to the M6. Even the optional head-up display is M-specific. The all-new BMW
M6 combines the comfort and amenities one expects of a luxury coupe
with the performance capability and driving experience that can be provided
by few cars of any type. There is still no confirmed date for the launch
of the M6 in the U.S., but typically M cars come to market two years
after the launch of the core model, the 645Ci in this case which launched
in the Spring of 2004.
