Preceding its official debut at the upcoming 2015 Detroit motor show, BMW has revealed details and photos of the facelifted BMW M6 Coupe, the M6 Gran Coupe and the M6 Convertible. Physical changes are extremely minute with only detailed alterations to the front standing out at first glance.
New LED headlights coupled to a lower front apron boasting redesigned air intakes and a tenuously restyled kidney grille design complete most of the physical makeover. Along the sides, new 19-inch alloy wheels – 20-inch wheels on the M6 Gran Coupe – are featured as standard.
At the back, a mildly refreshed rear bumper replete with a diffuser, M-specific twin exhaust pipes and M6 badging on the boot lid round off the changes. The BMW M6 Coupe and Gran Coupe receive a contoured carbon roof which is said to help lower the car’s centre of gravity.
Under the skin, modifications are extremely minimal with the cars utilising the same twin-turbocharged, 4.4 litre V8 engine. Combining direct injection, Double-VANOS and Valvetronic technology, the engine puts out 560 hp between 6,000 and 7,000 rpm with torque figures coming at 680 Nm from 1,500 to 5,750 rpm.
Sending all that power to the rear wheels is a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission (M DCT) with Drivelogic. As a result, the M6 Coupe and M6 Gran Coupe rockets from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds while the M6 Convertible completes the sprint in 4.3 seconds. Top speed for all three variants are limited to 250 km/h.
Additional features include a Low Speed Assistant system – basically a creep function found on most torque converter automatics – which functions up to a speed of 15 km/h. An Active M Differential is offered as standard while carbon ceramic brakes can be ordered as an option on all three variants.
Not many changes are to be found on the inside, either. The standout revision being the adoption of an iPhone-style central information display unit. Elements that further set it apart from its non-M siblings include a M leather steering wheel with paddle shifters, exclusive M-specific gear selector and instrument cluster.
Individuals who are inclined to believe that 560 hp is just not enough can opt for the Competition Package on all M6 models which increases the power output to 575 hp and peak torque at 680 Nm from 1,500 to 6,000 rpm. The increase in power shaves off a noticeable one tenth of a second for the 0-100 km/h sprint time.
Along with the added firepower, the Competition Package also brings to the table a sports exhaust system finished in black chrome, 20-inch alloy wheels and a revised steering and suspension setup. Additional bonuses include new Jatoba metallic paint, Merino Aragon full-leather trim and a BMW M Laptimer app.

All BMWs are good except when the country distributor tries to cheat the people in the respective country.
BMW Malaysia is the only country distributor that give 2 years warranty on BMW cars. Infact, BMW Malaysia is the only car company in the world giving a mere 2 years warranty.
Even humble Proton, Perodua, Fod, Hyundai, Honda all giving 5 years warranty. Mercedes Malaysia even giving 4 years warranty.
Sad when there is no Government guidance. The problem here, BMW Malaysia is owned by a GLC, Sime Darby. The Government themselves just want to give BMW buyers in Malaysia 2 years warranty and shortchange them.
Since when BMW Malaysia owned by Sime Darby? Everybody know, Sime Darby just owned “Inokom Factory/Plant” to assembly BMW car.. could be
1)VW Malaysia owned by DRB?
2)Kia Malaysia owned by NAZA?
3)Hyundai Malaysia owned by Sime Darby?
4) Nissan Malaysia owned by TCM?
5) Mercedes Malaysia owned by DRB?
6) Peugeot Malaysia owned by Naza?
7) & etc
Guys please enlighten me.Should I change my BMW Z5 Quad Turbo 0-100 3 sec 10 Pot Brembo to thie new hotties?
Come on guys enlighten me. Oh wait. None of you will be able to offer constructive opinions because none of you can become as rich as me. Commoners.
Bro, if you want to troll, please troll with some level of intelligence. There is no such thing as a Z5. I pity you (actually I pity your parents, family, wife, kids (please don’t breed if you don’t have kids now)) that you have such a low level of intelligence. You don’t have to change your awesome Z5. Save that money for a head examination instead.
You should swap LSX engine from Chevrolet Corvette too
This car needs a butt lift, not the face.
The back of the car looks terrible.
