BMW has taken the wraps off its third body variant of the M6, with the four-door Gran Coupe joining the two-door Coupe and Convertible models in the line-up.
The M6 Gran Coupe wears a twin-turbo 4.4 litre V8 offering 560 hp at 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and 680 Nm at 1,500 to 5,750 rpm, paired to a seven-speed M DCT box with Drivelogic.
Performance specs include a 0-100 km/h time of 4.2 seconds on the way to an electronically-governed 250 km/h top speed, 305 km/h if the optional M Driver’s Package is specified.
The 1,950 kg offering is set to take on the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, and is suitably dressed for the task, with bespoke features including a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof.
Other cues include large air intakes, adaptive LED headlights and an M kidney grille designed especially for the car. Widened front wheel arches, characteristic M gills and aerodynamically-optimised exterior mirrors are also to be found.
The rear gets a CFRP diffuser integrated into the rear apron, as well as double twin-exhaust tailpipes, and the M6 GC is shod with 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in a double-spoke design, wrapped with 265/35 and 295/30 profile rubbers.
Inside, there are M front sports seats with integral belt guides, with Merino leather upholstery throughout. A BMW Professional audio system comes as standard, with a Bang & Olufsen high-end surround system available as an option.
Plenty of ConnectedDrive features on hand too, such as an M-specific BMW Head-Up Display, Park Distance Control, a rear-view camera, High Beam Assistant, Speed Limit Info, Lane Change Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Surround View and BMW Night Vision with pedestrian recognition.

“560 hp at 5,000 to 6,000 rpm
680 Nm at 1,500 to 5,750 rpm”
Hmm… how to get flat BHP when it has the same torque from 5000 – 5750rpm?
better than 7-series…
my ultimate dream car has surfaced! the best looking BMW of recent years + M Gmbh? i can’t think of a much better combination!!
Will take this any day over the Porsche Panamera.
I mean yes this may be slower in certain area but just look at it! There is no better proportion Super Saloon out there [maybe the quattroporte]. And it has one of the best interior I’ve seen in recent years.
So, to me at least, if I strike big, is either this or the quattroporte .
the new quattroporte looks hideous.
The PERFECT PERFECT PEERRRRFFFFEEEECCCTTTTTT BMW for me!!I will do anything for her! <3
i will make my proton preve interior like this… what do u think?
Now THIS is the M6 I want! :D
