There aren't many supercar firms that are household names. Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche all instantly spring to mind, but now BMW thinks it should be added to the ranks of exotic car makers. What's the reason for the firm's confidence? The arrival of the mighty new M6.
As if the M5 saloon wasn't rapid enough, engineers have made the coup
Is this the best BMW ever? If you value performance and handling above all else, then the answer is yes. It's hard to find a car with sharper responses that combines the M6's pace, cruising ability and thrilling dynamics. And the technical expertise applied to the gearbox and suspension is truly astonishing. BMW now has a genuine contender in the supercar class.
AT A GLANCE
The M6 is all about driving, and only on a test track can its 507bhp be truly unleashed. Engineers have developed a system called MDrive which allows settings for the SMG gearbox, traction control and electronic dampers to be tailored to individual tastes.
