Contents 1 E24 M635CSi/M6 2 BMW M6 Coupe (E63/64) 3 References 4 External links [ edit ] E24 M635CSi/M6 First generation [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Production 1983–1989 Engine(s) 3.5 L I6 286 PS (210 kW; 282 hp) USA and catalyst version 256 hp (191 kW) Transmission(s) 5-speed manual Wheelbase 2,620 mm (103 in) Length 4,755 mm (187.2 in) USA 193.8 in (4923 mm) Width 1,725 mm (67.9 in) Height 1,354 mm (53.3 in) In 1983 BMW took the M88/3 engine, a modified version of the M88/1 from the BMW M1 and put it in the E24 chassis of the BMW 6-Series , creating the M635CSi (called M6 in North America). The M6 was critically acclaimed throughout its lifespan for its elegant, aggressive " shark -nose" styling, its luxury equipment, and its performance. A top speed of 158 mph (254 km/h) [ citation needed ] makes the European version the second fastest BMW ever built next to the M1. This is due to all other BMW models being electronically restricted to 155 mph (249 km/h). An M6 can be distinguished from other E24 models by a larger front air dam, a rear spoiler, BBS wheels, colour matching side view mirrors, M badges on the grille and back, and slightly larger front brakes. In North America ( U.S. and Canada ), the E24 M6 was fitted with the catalyzed S38B35 motor, producing 256 hp (191 kW) and 243 ft·lbf (329 N·m) of torque. The non-catalyzed version produced 286 bhp (213 kW) and 251 lb·ft (340 N·m) of torque. The non-catalyzed versions were only available in Europe, though there were 538 catalyzed M635csi models sold in Europe in 1988 and 1989. The 1988 and 1989 M6s were " World Cars " with the same bumpers and aerodynamic treatments in all markets. The M6 achieved 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 6.0 and 6.8 seconds for the European and American versions, respectively. Quarter mile times for the European version have been recorded at 14.5 seconds while the charge to 100 mph (160 km/h) is achieved in 15 seconds. However, Car and Driver Magazine tested the U.S. M6 in July 1987 and achieved a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 6.1 seconds. [ citation needed ] Also in 1987 Road and Track featured the U.S. M6 as one of the 10 fastest cars in America. [ citation needed ] Production of the M6 ended in 1989, with 5,859 cars sold, 1,767 of which were North American (U.S. & Canada) models. [ edit ] BMW M6 Coupe (E63/64) Second generation Production 2005–19 July 2010 Assembly Dingolfing , Germany Engine(s) 5.0 L 507 PS (373 kW; 500 hp) V10 Transmission(s) 7-speed single-clutch SMG 6-speed manual Wheelbase 109.5 in (2781 mm) Length 191.8 in (4872 mm) Width 73 in (1854 mm) Height 54 in (1372 mm) Curb weight 4,420 lb (2,000 kg) The new BMW M6 concept made its debut at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show . It is based on the BMW E63/E64 6-Series, introduced in 2004. It shares the same 5.0 L V10 S85 engine and SMG III gearbox with the E60 M5 , and produces 514 hp (383 kW) / 520 N·m (380 lb·ft). BMW claims it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph ) in 4.4 seconds (0-60 mph: 4.1 s [Road & Track [2/06]) and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour (249 km/h). With the limiter removed, the top speed can reach 205 miles per hour (330 km/h). [ citation needed ] The M6 has the same 'power button' as the M5 which modifies the throttle response. From ignition, the car delivers 399 bhp (298 kW; 405 PS), but engaging the button allows the full 373 kW (507 PS; 500 hp). It weighs 3,770 lb (1,710 kg) thanks to a carbon fibre reinforced plastic roof panel as well as thermoplastic front wings, aluminum doors and bonnet (hood) and compound boot (trunk) lid. The carbon fiber and other light materials are used in places like the bumpers and roof that are far from the centre of gravity and/or high up, so that they not only reduce the overall weight but improve the handling by reducing the moment of inertia and lowering the center of mass height. It was offered as both a coupe and a cabriolet . A lightweight CSL version of the M6 was expected to be released in the near future, however, BMW has since officially stated that no such version of the M6 will be built, as there is currently no market for such a model. The 2007 coupe is expected to have a 0-60 mph time of about 4.1 seconds (4.6 convertible)(Road and Track, March 2006). Both the M6 coupe and convertible can be visually distinguished from the 630i, 645Ci and 650i by their deeper front valance with air intakes, more contoured side sills, aerodynamic side view mirrors, an additional rear valance with diffuser and the absence of front fog lights. In the 2010 model year, the M6 was the second-most expensive BMW sold in the U.S. after the 760Li ($137,000), with an MSRP of $108,150 for the convertible and $102,350 for the coupe. In the U.S. the M6 had one of the largest residual value drops at 19%, as it had little if any changes since its 2006 introduction. [ 3 ] Production of the M6 ended in Summer 2010, with sales over the five year run totaling 9,087 for the coupe and 5,056 for the convertible. [ 4 ] [ edit ] References ^ Oswald, Werner (2001).

Hence the BMW M6 not being previously reviewed on this site. But in the name of being comprehensive – and for the sake of driving what’s sure to be an epic car – we thought we’d right that wrong. The BMW M6 is just a two-door M5, isn’t it? Yes and no. ‘Yes’ because the M6 employs the same brilliant 5.0-litre V10 engine and still delivers 500bhp and 383lb ft to the rear wheels via a sequential manual seven-speeder. ‘No’ because there are some important changes. The M6, for instance, boasts a costly carbonfibre roof, all-new dash architecture and is 80kg lighter than its saloon-based stablemate, 1785kg playing the M5’s 1855kg. There’s also a sizeable price hike – at £82,685, it’s over £18k more expensive than the M5 . It'd better be good... Does it feel faster than the M5, then? No. The on-paper stats tell you it is (M6 beats M5 to 62mph by just 0.1sec at 4.6sec), but in reality you’ll be hard pushed to feel the benefit of lugging 80 fewer kilos around. What do you notice? Well, the steering wheel offers the same three-spoke chunkiness as the M5, but it feels lighter, twirling with less of the M5’s manly resistance. The suspension – still three-way driver adjustable – is slightly firmer too, while the seven-speed semi-auto’s shift programme has been noticeably recalibrated. As ever you can pick from five shift settings, ranging from ultra-docile to massive attack – the majority being unnecessary. The M6’s fifth mode is far more aggressive than the equivalent M5 setting, sending a whacking great, Lambo-esque thump through the transmission. >> Click 'Next' below to read more of our BMW M6 first drive 1 2 Next >> Rate this article... 1 2 3 4 5 Average rating: 3.5 (41 votes) Discuss this Add your comment Sign in You must be signed in to submit a comment.

Unlike others I've no soft spots for the 6-Series and I'd much prefer BMW did something very different in this sector. Namely markedly more performance orientated than its nemisis, the Merc SL, or something to answer the 911 and Audi R8 06 January 2009 23:54 carcare says RE: BMW M6 (2008) CAR review Have you seen how cheap a used one is? the car does this brilliant double chnage down that makes a fab rumble and when you press the go pedal it scared the be jesus out of me. I borrowed one for the weekend and so enjoyed it, particularly as you don't feel like a family man in it. happy new Year 02 January 2009 17:52 -Joe- says RE: BMW M6 (2008) CAR review Its not ugly at all, its just the wrong colour, same with the M coupe. In dark blue this M6 can look great, I saw one a while ago in the long grass at Donnington Park. It looked great. Its not ugly, at least its interesting. Ill keep my Audi comments to myself. But in their latest ad for the Q7 they admit the last one was a box and that read between the lines was pretty ugly and the wrong proprtions. They now have taken out the lower grilles which ages ago, I pointed out that they were why it looked rubbish and proportioally wrong. Just if they didn't gibw us pics of it int he wrong colour. 02 January 2009 16:13 manicm says RE: BMW M6 (2008) CAR review Dunno, looks-wise this is a massive improvement over any 5, M5 or not. 02 January 2009 07:55 Show all comments Become a CAR contributor Upload stories, photos or videos direct to the site , or email newsdesk@carmagazine.co.uk .
