BMW M6 Gran Coupe - New Car Net

There really is no other way of kicking off this review without first placing significant emphasis on just how damn fast BMW's M6 is, in this case the sleek 4-door, £94,750 Gran Coupe model. The version I drove however was equipped with the optional, £5,500 575hp Competition Pack (add £1,000 to that for the M6 Coupe and Convertible models). Despite the extra 15hp, it somewhat mysteriously produces the same 680Nm along with the same quoted performance figures, so you may consider this option a tad extravagant. In Germany BMW also markets an M Driver's pack for the M6 which raises its top speed to a heady 189mph. July saw the introduction of a new 600hp/700Nm Competition Pack for the M6. This costs £6,300 (Gran Coupe) or £7,300 (Coupe and Convertible) and it drops the 0-62 time to a fleeting 3. 9 secs, but for a host of reasons these figures - figures... In the real world, in this case the A and B-roads of SE Gloucestershire, the 575hp I had on tap was considerably more than required, even for what might normally be considered some quite daring overtaking manoeuvres.
