A further safety feature is the very bright and fast-reacting LEDs in the bake lights not requiring any maintenance and free of wear.
Quality: the finest mix of materials
The perfect balance of weight also contributes to the superior driving characteristics of the M6 Convertible. This perfection in weight alignment is based on an intelligent mix of materials for the body-in-white, with the help of modern plastic materials of the highest quality. Despite their lower weight, these components are stiffer and stronger than comparable components made of conventional materials, ensuring not only precise driving dynamics but also optimum vibration control and a very high standard of crash safety.
Electronically controlled safety systems
The seat belts on all four seats come with belt force limiters. The integrated restraint systems on the front seats also feature belt latch tensioners, with two-stage frontal and side airbags reducing the risk of injury. These safety components are controlled and masterminded by the Advanced Safety Electronics (ASE), a safety and information system exactly determining the intensity of a collision and activating the restraint systems quickly and precisely when they are required.
