The New BMW M6 Convertible

Perfect interaction of the V10 power unit and seven-speed SMG gives the driver ultimate pleasure behind the wheel; acceleration from 0-100 km/h comes in 4.8 seconds with the standing-start kilometre completed in just 22.9 seconds. This supreme performance continues all the way to the car’s top speed limited electronically to 250 km/h.

Variable M Differential Lock and DSC with M Dynamic Mode

The variable, speed-sensing M Differential Lock gives the M6 Convertible supreme driving stability and optimum traction especially when accelerating out of a bend. Even in the most demanding situations, therefore, the differential provides a decisive edge in traction, for example, with the drive wheels running on surfaces varying extremely in their frictional coefficient. In such cases the M Differential Lock immediately builds up growing locking force with an increasing difference in speed between the two drive wheels, thus maintaining the car’s traction and pulling forces at all times.

The M6 Convertible features the new generation of BMW Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). While the first stage of DSC is designed for maximum driving safety, the M Dynamic Mode is appreciated above all by the performance oriented driver.

Electronic Damper Control (EDC) offers three control programmes, each enabling the driver to set the suspension to the desired mode ranging from sporting and firm to comfortable.

The P400 performance programme is automatically activated as soon as the engine is started and as its name indicates offers immediate output of 400 hp output. By pressing the Power Button, the full power and dynamism of the ten-cylinder engine can be called up.

High-performance brakes

Reflecting the cars outstanding performance, the M6 Convertible comes with a high-performance brake system featuring cross-drilled, weight-optimised compound brake discs. On the road, this means a stopping distance of just under 36 metres from 100 km/h and less than 140 metres from 200 km/h.
