BMW M6 Convertible a powerful beast




BMW fans will be drooling over the new M6 Convertible that is now available in South Africa, not only because it looks so damn good but more because of what it’s capable of doing on the road. The new M6 displays 10% higher power output and 30% higher torque when compared to the previous model, enough to get the heart pumping at a ridiculous rate.

So what’s the big deal then? Well the fact that the new M6 Convertible is fitted with an aggressive 4.4-litre V8 with TwinPower Turbo technology is where this story begins. Producing 412kW between 6000 and 7000rpm and with a maximum torque figure of a mammoth 680Nm on tap from 1 500 to 7 200rpm, you can just imagine. The M6 Convertible is a savage beast on the road and will clock 100km/h in only 4.3 seconds. 200km/h is achieved in 13.1 seconds and the M6 will reach a governed speed of 250km/h. However, the M Driver’s package allows that top speed to reach 305km/h. Unfortunately the M Driver’s package is not available in South Africa and for good reason.


There’s also some good news in terms of fuel consumption and the M6 Convertible displays a 30% improvement on the previous model with a fuel consumption figure of 10.3-litres/100km. Its V8 engine is mated with a seven-speed M Double Clutch transmission with Drivelogic, which contributes to this reduction.

As we’d expect from BMW, the M6 Convertible is fitted with the latest technology and the interior is equally impressive in terms of luxury. Buying a M6 Convertible is where the crunch comes and you can expect to pay in the region of R1 485 500 to drive this marvellous car.
