M6

The new BMW M6 concept made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2005. It is based on the E63/E64 BMW 6 Series, launched in 2004. It shares the same 5.0 L V10 and S85 engine gearbox SMG III with E60 M5, and produces 507 hp (373 kW) / 384 ft-lb (521 Nm). BMW says it accelerates from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) 4.6 seconds (0-60 mph: 4.1 s [Road & Track [2 / 06]) and has a top speed electronically limited to 250 km / h (155 mph). With the limiter removed, the top speed can reach 330 km / h (205 mph). It is currently available in coupe and a convertible. A lighter version of the M6 CSL expected to be available in the near future. The 2007 convertible should have a 0-60 time in about 4.6 seconds (4.8) (convertible Road and Track, September 2006). Both the coupe and cabriolet M6 can be visually distinguished from the 630i, 650i and 645Ci by their deeper front valance with air intakes, the contours lower body, aerodynamic mirrors, a rear valance with additional broadcaster and the absence of front fog lamps.
