New BMW M6: The Rebirth of an Icon
Power and performance, however, are not everything. Rather, what really counts
is a car's acceleration and driving dynamics on the road. And this depends,
first, on the weight of a car and, second, on the thrust and power which
actually goes to the drive wheels - which, in turn, is a result of engine torque
and the overall transmission ratio. BMW's high-speed engine concept allows an
optimum gearbox and final drive transmission ratio in all cases, thus
guaranteeing impressive thrust and momentum on the road at all times.

The Interior
Inside, the new M6 comes with fully adjustable M
sports seats that include lumbar support and an adjustable backrest width as
standard. They are covered in extended Merino leather, with the owner able to
choose between Black, Silverstone or Sepang.
The new car also features BMW M’s version of the new Head-up Display system. Unlike the standard Head-up
Display available on 5 and 6 Series models that offers navigation instructions
and cruise control information, the system on the M6 projects driver-focussed
information such as engine speed, gear selected and road speed directly into the
driver’s view, obviating the need for the driver to take his or her eyes off
the road ahead.
