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.

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.
