Power. Precision. Passion. Together they define the essence of the M3 Coupe. Its 3.2-liter, six-cylinder engine produces 333 horsepower, enough to launch from 0 to 60 mph in a staggering 4.8 seconds*. Its six-speed manual transmission or optional Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) and road-gripping M Variable Differential lock make any trip a soul-stirring experience. Just 4.8 seconds behind the wheel of the M3 Coupe is all it takes. The M3 Coupe. You’ll never look back.
More than 15 years after the M6 last graced these shores, the engineers from BMW M GmbH have created a truly awe inspiring Sports Coupe; the all-new M6.
Based on the new 6 Series, the new M6 shares its drivetrain with the recently introduced M5. The new V-10 produces 500 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. Engineered to rev with a redline of 8,250, this new engine offers 100 horsepower per liter of displacement. Pure race-car territory.
From rest, 60 miles per hour is reached in well under five seconds. The rush of acceleration never lets up until the electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. The top speed may be limited, but with the speedometer reaching all the way to 205 mph, the mind conjures intriguing possibilities. To complement its performance potential, the M6 is equipped with generously sized high-performance brakes with cross-drilled compound brake discs.
The 6 Series incorporates impressive lightweight technology with extensive use of aluminum, as well as thermoplastics and sheet-molded compound. But with the addition of a carbon-fiber roof, the M6 takes weight-saving engineering to a new level.
The all-new BMW M6 combines the comfort and amenities one expects of a luxury coupe with the performance capability and driving experience that can be provided by few cars of any type. There is still no confirmed date for the launch of the M6 in the U.S., but typically M cars come to market two years after the launch of the core model, the 645Ci in this case, which launched in the Spring of 2004.
