M6

Question 1

M6: BMW INDIVIDUAL TRIMS

Answer 1

Make your M6 your own with a wealth of elegant, richly grained BMW Individual interior trim options, including Piano Finish Black, Dark Red Sycamore Wood, and White Ash Grain Wood.

Question 2

M6 CARBON CERAMIC DISC BRAKES

Answer 2

M Carbon Ceramic Disc Brakes enhance performance by providing better high-temperature capacity than conventional pads and rotors.

And it does this while shaving 42 lbs of unsprung rotational mass from the vehicle.

Question 3

6M-SPECIFIC HEAD-UP DISPLAY

Answer 3

The Full-Color M Head-Up Display projects all of the M-specific information you want to see right in to your line of sight.

Your speed, selected gear, and a color-specific digital engine rev-counter with shift lights are all projected right where you’re looking—at every corner and straightaway.

Question 4

COMPETITION PACKAGE

Answer 4

The Competition Package pushes performance to the limit with 40 more horsepower, an increased steering ratio for a sharper response, and a racing-tuned suspension that works in perfect harmony with M Dynamic Mode.

Question 5

BANG & OLUFSEN HIGH-END SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM

Answer 5

The Bang & Olufsen High-End Surround Sound System features 16 perfectly integrated loudspeakers, and delivers an equally rich sound to every passenger—wherever they’re sitting—thanks to patented Acoustic Lens Technology.

Question 6

SHIFTING

Answer 6

An optional 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters provides instantaneous track-inspired shifts, but for the purists who want an analog connection to the road, a 6-speed manual transmission comes standard.

Question 7

Dynamic Damper Control

Answer 7

Dynamic Damper Control lets you customize your shock absorbers’ firmness with three modes: SPORT+, SPORT, and COMFORT. The M Drive system also lets you save two driving settings, which you can activate with M1 and M2 buttons on the steering wheel.

Question 8

High-Pressure Injectors

Answer 8

High-pressure injectors inject fuel in 0.27 milliseconds, making it possible to introduce multiple injections of fuel within one single combustion process.

An electronic control system adjusts the timing and dose of the injected fuel according to the engine power demand, operating temperature and cylinder pressure, so combustion is precisely controlled, extremely clean, and outstandingly efficient in every driving situation.

Question 9

BMW’s patented cross-bank exhaust

Answer 9

BMW’s patented cross-bank exhaust manifolds are mounted inside the valley (V), making this engine a “Hot V.”

The shorter pipe length means more efficient airflow on the way to the turbochargers, while a combustion chamber arrangement mirroring the firing sequence ensures a consistent level of pressure acting on the two turbochargers, without any kind of counterflow, for rapid turbine response and constant pressure charge.
