M6 Coupe review
Classic
proportions are sporty, elegant lines of the BMW 6 Series, and the familiar
design language of BMW cars M. Laid the foundation for the design of the body
eloquent M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible Powerfully taut surfaces and precise
contours underline the athletic appearance of the two models. It also includes
a specific model for the interpretation of design elements typical M style
details that directly influenced by technical considerations - as the necessary
cooling air suspension geometry and aerodynamics - and then further highlight
the excellent properties of self. This is a good example of how an
ultra-dynamic, which is marked in this version's sporty luxury coupe and
convertible exclusive authentic placed their expression of design.
Front
view: large air intakes, redesigned kidney M.
Large
air intakes, a beautiful shaped headlights and large, smooth surfaces dominate
the front end of the new BMW M6 Coupé and the new BMW M6 Convertible. Another
eye-catching front of the car is the kidney redesigned M wearing a badge
"M6". The grille is black, kidney slats couples take their signals
from features twin-spoke alloy wheels M. The 30 mm increase of the carriageway
on the two cars, the respective 6 Series stablemates is completed by the front
wheel arches flared powerful that lie flush with the wheels. This extra width
provides a clear allusion to the optimized road handling of this
high-performance sports car. The Three-dimensional design of their air intakes
and race-inspired flaps designed to optimize airflow to the outer air intakes
also emphasize on increasing the car, dynamic character.

models. Their bright white rings, three-dimensional LED are turned off by
striking effect aimed at the top and bottom edges. Low and high beam with two
light rings. Providing light are units that are arranged on a horizontal rib
through the center of the units feed their light into the reflector LED before
them. This will ensure that the characteristic appearance of round headlights
twins meets clearly in any situation. The flasher - in the form of LED units
arranged horizontally - will be integrated in the headlights under the rings of
light.
Side
view: athletic flared wheel arches, side gills, forged M light-alloy wheels.
The
famous M sportiness of both models is also visible from the side. The front
sections of the gills lateral transport M family functions. Their
three-dimensional shape, wide chrome frame and indicator bars - which also
carry the M logo - seem very deep. In line with the wider wheel arches which
are the most important character lines corresponding to the gills. The wrinkles
on the winning side skirts depending on the model also sweep distract the view
to the rear wheels.
The
new BMW M6 Coupé and the new BMW M6 Convertible 19-inch M alloy wheels as
standard. The seven-twin-spoke forged wheels with a two-tone finish. The
optional 20-inch M light-alloy wheels, now known weight with five double spokes
complicated and allow a clear line of sight through the powerful brake system.
Powerfully
shaped rear tailpipes typical M individuals.
The
enlargement towards the street and the horizontal lines of inclusion and large
surfaces, the design of the references back to the stable road holding and
powerful serenity and safety of the new BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible.
The reflectors offering in the form of L taillights individual expression of
sportiness.
The
clearest pointer to the identity of the two high-performance sports car positioned
terminals M twin known to both sides of the diffuser integrated into the rear
bumper. The air intakes in the front apron design reflected in its dimensions
and outline of their surroundings.
CFRP
roof and soft-top with a unique design.
Like
its predecessor, the roof of the new BMW M6 Coupe carbon fiber reinforced
plastic series. The dark color of the roof, giving two doors extremely
elongated silhouette aspect that is highlighted by a dynamic opening in the
center of the roof. The use of lightweight material for the roof of the center
of gravity of the vehicle to be lowered allows, improving mobility. BMW
Individual High Gloss Shadow Line trim (default) draws attention to this weight
optimized, their dark color that covers the side edges of the window (or life,
in the case of the BMW M6 Convertible) and the base and the bottom of the M
aerodynamic exterior mirrors.
The
unique aspect of the new BMW 6 Series Convertible will be the architecture
"fin" stressed the high quality soft roof. Configuration at the back
of the fins to emphasize the car's dynamic curved silhouette. Heated, vertical
glass rear window, which runs behind the rear seats, regardless of the soft top
itself is located.
Customers
can choose between a color and eight non-metallic materials (including four
surfaces exclusive M) to choose for the exterior painting of the two models.
The roof of the new BMW M6 Convertible is available in black and beige, or - as
an option - in fact Silver Anthracite.
BMW
M6 Coupe driving: performance and personality.
The
new BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible showcase their individual style, with a
series of unique touches and changes the character of the driving experience.
But they need the output to serve, his performance inspiration from the same
source: a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, mounted
longitudinally in front of the car, the power is to the rear wheels via a
seven-speed M channeled dual-clutch Drivelogic.
The
powertrain combines design features taken directly developed from motor racing
with innovations under the banner of EfficientDynamics. Its unique technology
package consists of two turbochargers, which according to the Twin Scroll
principle (including a cross-bank exhaust manifold), high-precision direct
injection, variable valve control VALVETRONIC and double-VANOS continuously
variable valve timing. The engine is enhanced by an extremely powerful cooling
system and a wet oil sump under high shear forces at work served.
Output
increased by 10 percent, maximum torque increased by 30 per cent, fuel
consumption and emissions by more than 30 percent.
The
unmistakable, the characteristics of the engine 4.4-liter M can be defined held
by his super-quick responses and powerful, linear power delivery in the higher
elevations of the rev range. In fact, the maximum torque of 680 Nm (502 lb-ft)
to the plug 1500-5750 revolutions per minute. The V8 reaches its maximum power
of 412 kW/560 hp 6000-7000 revolutions per minute and can rotate at 7200
revolutions per minute. Throughout the speed range in models new means to
generate maximum power, is almost three times greater than that of the switch
engine on their predecessors.
This
immediate and continuous power delivery is the key to unlock the car
exhilarating acceleration. The new BMW M6 Coupe dashes from zero to 100 km / h
(62 mph) in 4.2 seconds, while the new BMW M6 Convertible achieves the same
speed of just 0.1 seconds. The top speed of both models is electronically
limited to 250 km / h (155 mph). The specification of the optional M Driver
package raises the barrier at 305 km / h (189 mph).
Progress
in the development of technology M TwinPower Turbo are anchored in two new
models' performance significantly higher than their predecessors resist. The
high efficiency of the engine, the Auto Start-Stop function and standards of
other examples of Efficient Dynamics technology, help the brake energy recovery
and volume-controlled oil pump, reduce fuel consumption and emissions by
approximately 30 percent. The new BMW M6 Coupe cards average consumption of 9.9
liters per 100 kilometers (28.5 mpg imp) in the EU test cycle and CO2 emissions
of 232 grams per kilometer. corresponding figures for the BMW M6 Convertible
10.3 liters per 100 kilometers (27.4 mpg imp) and 239 grams per kilometer .
Taking
advantage of the high performance, dynamic effect: a seven-speed M Double
Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic.
It
is perfectly adapted to the performance characteristics of the V8 engine, the M
double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic converts the engine thrust
impressive very effective in rapid acceleration. Still virtually size or weight
more than a conventional manual gearbox - This ability is determined by the
principle that effectively combines DCT supports two gears in a housing. Within
the transmission, the torque is transmitted through two clutches in an oil bath
cooled, which transfers alternately engaged. This allows zero interruption in
the flow of energy when the driver accelerates, even during gear changes.
M
DCT Drivelogic offers the driver three different programs shifts, and in
automatic mode (D) and manual (S). These programs change the transmission
characteristics of change in terms of efficiency, shift comfort and sportiness,
and can be located via the lever behind the gear lever on the center console.
Added to which the electronics and a Launch Control function provides unmatched
acceleration from standstill, assistance at low speeds. To facilitate operation
at low speed and the Auto Start-Stop function for greater efficiency
The
specific M gear selector to choose the mode D and S, and to engage the reverse
gear used. In S mode, the driver changes gears manually in a sequential format.
The new BMW M6 Coupe and Convertible is also equipped with a newly designed M
leather steering wheel with multifunction buttons and gearshift paddles fixed.
In typical configuration M, the driver pulls the right paddle for a maximum and
the left paddle to move downwards.
BMW
M6 Coupé Chassis: supreme precision in any situation.
The
technology of auto racing in the new BMW M6 Coupe and M6 Convertible is paving
the way for the imposition of performance on the track, but also deals with the
driver, engaging driving experience of daily trips from A dynamic character of
both not only as models for its acceleration from standstill defined, but also
by their midrange agility, precision and traction in their turnover. when
accelerating out of corners, their treatment precisely controllable in strong
lateral forces and their braking ability Paving the way for the model-specific
chassis technology, in combination with the active M differential, an ideal
weight and optimized aerodynamics.
The
precise interplay of powertrain, chassis and body has been studied in detail as
part of the extensive testing on NürburgringNordschleife. The result is an
unmistakable M feeling of a species particularly intense in order to optimize
the latest innovation management in ultra-dynamic driving situations, the
optional carbon-ceramic brakes M marked his debut in the new BMW M6 Coupé and
BMW M6 Convertible.
M-specific
suspension technology, Dynamic Damper Control, M Servotronic steering, DSC with
M Dynamic Mode.
The
chassis of the new BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible has developed M-specific
and thus combines excellent features with comfort-enhancing features will
appreciate on a daily basis. As the integral rear axle, the subframe bolted
rigidly to the body, has a double wishbone front suspension kinematics of
specific components and newly designed forged aluminum. Ensuring chassis
supports with large panels in the front and rear axles of dynamic forces evenly
over the whole body, that for high precision tracking.
Standard
equipment on both models includes electronically controlled dampers. The
M-specific system Dynamic Damping Control adjusts the damping force
electro-hydraulically the required answers to the driving situation, they offer
the hand and satisfy the desires of the driver. The choice of three settings,
allowing the driver to damping characteristics to suit your needs and
preferences.
The
hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering provides unparalleled precision and a high
degree of comfort. This system has a variable ratio, which improves stability
and reduces the number of turns of the steering wheel necessary to park on the
road. The standard Servotronic speed-sensitive in the same way power assistance
is tailored to the specific M and allows the driver to select a custom
configuration using three set-up.
In
addition to applying the pulses of the brakes and reducing the power of the
engine to stabilize the vehicle, the stability system DSC control of the
vehicle high performance sport also makes use of the services of the anti-lock
braking system (ABS), Brake Control curve (CBC) and Dynamic Brake Control (DBC),
together with BAS, the brake function Drying and Start-Off Assistant. M Dynamic
Mode (MDM) can be activated defaults are set by pressing the override DSC. With
the raising of the thresholds of DSC prices, this mode makes it easier to move
off on snow or loose sand with the drive wheels rotate easily. MDM mode also
opens the way for the familiar M self-steering behavior. "DSC Off"
can be activated with the push of a button.
Active
M Differential provides excellent traction in dynamic driving situations.
The
new BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible also impress, providing optimum
traction in difficult road and weather conditions and dynamic acceleration out
of corners. Behind the scenes, to this end, is an innovative variable slip
differential in the rear differential. The differential active M allows the
power of the engine to be distributed quickly and precisely between the left
and right rear wheels, according to the needs of the driving situation at a
given time.
Electronic
management multi-disc locking differential helps speed differences between the
rear wheels, necessary to reduce to maximize traction. The group M differential
active control is connected to the control system of DSC stability, so that
every situation can be analyzed with accuracy and a loss of traction is
detected on a wheel at an early stage. The locking effect is generated in
response can vary between 0 and 100 percent, which prevents the wheels from
spinning on slippery surfaces, in cases in which the right rear wheel and the
left are very different coefficients of friction, in tight curves and change in
direction extremely dynamically.
New
for precise handling: M brakes in carbo-ceramic.
The
latest version of the braking system consisting gives the new BMW M6 Coupé and
BMW M6 Convertible excellent braking performance. Its features are also lighter
in weight, excellent feel and consistent performance even under heavy loads.
The diameter of the internally ventilated and perforated brake discs, 400 mm
front and 396 mm at the rear. The six-piston fixed caliper brakes on the front
wheels - painted metal dark blue and complete with the M logo - radially bolted
to the pivot bearing.
The
carbon-ceramic brakes M for the first time the new BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6
Convertible take (with 20-inch M alloy wheels), cars braking power to another
new level. The brake discs measure 410 millimeters in diameter on the front
axle and 396 millimeters at the rear. Done by a new type of carbon fiber
composite ceramic discs offer a greater resistance to heat and combine them
with significantly lower rotating masses. The carbon-ceramic brakes are M 19.4
kg lighter than standard products, but also the innovative material shows
exceptional resistance to wear and the life of the discs is many times compared
to conventional means. The option M carbon-ceramic appearance and six-piston
fixed caliper brakes front wheels cooperation with single-piston caliper rim
brakes on the rear axle. The clamps can be identified by a special gold paint.
Body,
carbon fiber roof, soft-top: strong, lightweight, highly expressive.
An
intelligent mix of materials is also impressive strength body structure with
extremely low weight, in order to improve the protection of the occupants and
the agility of management. As with the use of carbon fibers for the roof of the
new BMW M6 Coupe, the choice of materials for all slots of other components of
the body of the round strategy lightweight. The doors and the hood of the car
two high-performance sports are aluminum, thermoplastic front side panels. In
addition, its trunk lid and - the top cover made from glass fiber composite
material SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) - in the case of the BMW M6 Convertible.
A power-to-weight ratio of 3.3 kg / hp for the BMW M6 Coupé and 3.5 kg / hp for
the new BMW M6 Convertible has the significant progress made in this area, as
in previous models.
Robust
load path structures, deformation zones defined with precision and restraint
systems of large size and high efficiency provide the basis for a high level of
passive safety in both models. The standard safety equipment includes front and
side airbags, side curtain head airbags for both rows of seats of the new BMW
M6 Coupé and front airbags and head-thorax side airbags integrated into the
seat frame of the new BMW M6 Convertible. The soft-top model benefits produced
by roll-bar in high-strength aluminum. Placed behind the rear head restraints,
these guards extend automatically in a fraction of a second was a danger of the
car rolling his past. Both models are equipped with three-reel seat belts on
all seats, belt force limiters and pretensioners restraints for the front seats
and ISOFIX child seats in the rear.

The
history of the model deeply rooted tradition in motorsport.
In
view of the BMW 6 Series of motor sport has its roots in its DNA, it is not
surprising that the origins of the model lie BMW M6 in the early 1970s. As BMW
Motorsport GmbH was founded in May 1972, it immediately made with the
development of a race car based on the BMW 3.0 CS coupe luxury racing
competition in tourism commissioned. Powered by a 3340 cc six-cylinder in-line
engine initially produced 360 bhp, the BMW 3.0 CSL - L was in his name for the
light - to be the most successful touring car series in the course of the day,
the filtered time same innovations that have, in their technical data through
the development of car production. Aluminum doors, hood and trunk lid and a
five-speed manual transmission with magnesium casing were in 1973 followed by
the first six-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder, and then, in 1974,
the debut of the anti-lock braking system. It was like these previews, to
accelerate the car to success on the track, before finding its way into the
roadgoing brand models contributed - and the same principle continues to be a
feature of BMW M vehicles today.
The
BMW 3.0 CSL won six European titles Touring Car Championship from 1973 to 1979
with an output power increases from year to year. Until 1976 there was a
3.2-liter six-cylinder twin-turbo engine under the hood, the output should be
effectively reduced to 750 hp. Meanwhile, a new project is taking shape BMW
Motorsport GmbH, a mid-engined supercar developed from scratch. Before the BMW
M1 could be in line for the new Procar Championship, but he had 400 units for
type approval to build. This, as BMW Motorsport GmbH at its first production
vehicle in 1978 was not only what was BMW M1 acquire with its 277 hp in-line
six-cylinder engine available for the title of fastest production car in Germany
sport, the 'entire run of 456 models arrested by the speed of light customers.
Motorsport
for the road: the BMW M635i.
Until
now, the BMW 3.0 CS was replaced by the BMW 6 Series range of BMW models. And
the appetite of many BMW drivers for the extra power in their production cars
did not go unnoticed by BMW Motorsport GmbH: the speed was four valves per
cylinder in the BMW M1, the perfect choice for the development of the BMW 6 -
luxury coupe series in the mighty BMW M635i. The six-cylinder engine unleashes
286 hp, which is allied to the chassis technology already on the ground just in
order, was handled as well as members of the body streamlined to be able to
drivers enjoy a real taste of motor racing in all their day-to-day driving.
Total 5855 BMW M635i models were sold between 1984 and 1989.
The
beginning of a new era of abundance phenomenal power and high-tech: the first
BMW M6.
In
2005, two years after the debut of the second generation of the BMW 6 Series,
BMW M GmbH has added a high-performance sports car in its portfolio, which was
just in a class by itself. The BMW M6 was once the epitome of a race around the
brim compared with the performance automotive motorsport experience. His
credentials of reading performance breathtaking: a high-revving V10 engine
directly from Formula One with a 5.0 liter displacement and an output of 373
kW/507 hp, seven-speed SMG with Drivelogic firm and Launch Control for
acceleration derived at maximum power, speed-sensitive, variable M differential
lock, and model-specific chassis technology, including Electronic Damper
Control (EDC) and compound brakes. The V10 engine took first place overall at
the prestigious International Engine of the Year Awards for two consecutive
years, 2005 and 2006. And within two years, arrived in the higher category for
engines of more than 4 liters.
The
pioneering and progressive BMW M6. Even in large part to its innovative driver
assistance systems, such as the Head-Up Display with M-specific display One
year after the coupe went on sale was followed by the BMW M6 Convertible. By
the year 2010 amounted to global sales of high-performance sports car 14,152
units, accounting for 9087 of these coupe and open-top version of the BMW M6,
the remaining 5065.
Production:
Innovative processes for exceptional cars.
With
its state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, and its long experience in the
production of premium cars very exclusive BMW Dingolfing is a natural choice
for the construction of the new BMW M6. Here, in the largest BMW plant in the world,
the M6 Coupe and M6 Convertible is built on the same assembly line as the BMW
6 Series models. The luxury BMW 7-Series sedan models and the BMW 5 Series
models are also built here. All these machines, including the BMW M6 will
benefit the use of modules of product and process between lines of different
models, to further improve the efficiency of production and the quality
thereof. The integrated production of high performance car of sports production
and collection of their components specific to each model of the chassis, body
and interior.
The
BMW plant in Dingolfing, Lower Bavaria, was
part of the global production network of BMW since 1967. Today, this network
includes facilities in 14 different countries. In 1973, BMW began producing
complete vehicles, at this point, the new structures 2.4. Numerous awards are
proof that this plant, which has built more than 8 million cars BMW until now,
to a very high standard. About 18,600 people are currently working on the site,
more than 12,000 of them in the vehicle production to 2.4.
V-engined
in Monaco of Bavaria: the best technology and technical precision.
Based
on best practices of high-performance engine of the new BMW M6 in the
production hall for special category of engines in the BMW plant in Monaco of
Bavaria will be built. The (flex) production line V here at BMW headquarters,
the next engine of the M3 engine and the 12-cylinder unit in the BMW 760i and
the latest models of Rolls-Royce is built. High process technology and
craftsmanship of experienced professionals to ensure superior quality.
The
engine block and crankcase of the V8 engine is produced in light alloy foundry
at the BMW plant in Landshut.
At the beginning of the Assembly in Monaco basic engines are vectors,
each of which is mounted complete data storage integrated. This allows quality
related data during the assembly process is recovered. For example, right
programs automatic assembly screwing can be activated with the correct
tightening torque for screwed. In all subsequent assembly stations also help to
ensure that the engine-specific data of the employee. The right tools and the
right pair In the same major components, such as cylinder heads and connecting
rods are encoded. This allows them directly from their arrival at the factory
for final assembly monitored. The production process involves a function test
on the dynamometer, the engine has one and all before they happen sent to the
BMW plant in Dingolfing.
Integrated
production optimizes the quality and efficiency.
Integrated
Production at joint product and process development modules allows the plant
Dingolfing optimize production quality and efficiency - in line with the system
of value-added production BMW (VPS). Standardized processes allow high-quality
multi-production model are combined into a single assembly with the planning of
integrated production. Flexible design allows the factory constantly maintain a
high capacity utilization, ensuring short delivery times within the
customer-oriented sales and production processes (COSP). Additional synergies
through the use of "product modules" (design of modular components)
is reached.
The
same innovative manufacturing techniques have been developed that are now
applied in a number of different models and so loud. For example, the production
process is carried out leads research and development in the Dingolfing BMW
Group aluminum-based center of excellence.
Newly
designed aluminum processing technology makes modeling also complicated design
features sophisticated as the character line on the doors. For steel components
and innovative manufacturing techniques are used. In Dingolfing, BMW, first
manufacturer in the world to hot pressing technology device, which has been
using galvanized steel is cold worked, then heated to a temperature of about
900 degrees centigrade, then immediately cooled to a temperature of about 70
degrees and cured. The cooling is realized in a press with integrated water
cooling and made only a few seconds. This technique gives the components from
three to four times the thickness of the conventional steel plate.
Pioneer
in the material of the future: the BMW M6 Coupé CFRP roof.
One
of the most striking features of the new BMW M6 Coupe is made of carbon fiber
reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof. BMW has extensive experience in the production
of components made of carbon fiber, which first went into production at BMW
Landshut in 2003. In 2013, this plant will also start production of CFRP
passenger cell for the fully electric BMW i3 and BMW i8 plug-in hybrid sports
car. In addition to their respective drive systems, lightweight construction is
the use of carbon fiber base is a fundamental characteristic of both vehicles.
The
predecessor of the new BMW M6 Coupe was one of the early pioneers of carbon
fiber parts - the material of the future. It 'was the first model, are the
beams of the roof and bumper CFRP were both mass production. Since the volumes
of production of parts made of carbon fiber is constantly increasing. The
current BMW M3 is also equipped with a roof made of carbon fiber. The new BMW
M6 Coupé, further progress in manufacturing technology have made it possible
for the designers to the CFRP roof surprising, aerodynamically optimized
contours.
Used
the extremely light material, but also very robust in the roof optimal
stiffness combined with a significant weight reduction. This lowers the center
of gravity and makes the BMW M6 Coupé even more agile. A CFRP roof allows a
weight saving of approximately 50 percent compared to 30 percent compared to
steel and aluminum, for the same or improve functional performance. CRP also
offers excellent crash performance and durability.
