Overview

The 2010 BMW M6 Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the coupe. With single trim on offer, the BMW M6 Coupe has a base MSRP of $102,350, competing directly with the 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL63, the 2010 Audi RS 5, and the 2010 Jaguar XKR. Only a 5.0L V10 is offered, mated to a 7-speed automated manual. Together, they produce 500 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, the M6 Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 13 MPG. BMW offers the M6 Coupe in 10 stunning colors, with the Black Sapphire Metallic being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice

Coming with a powerful V10 powertrain, mated to a responsive lag-free transmission, and rear-wheel drive, the 2010 BMW M6 Coupe is no doubt one of the best performance machines out there. Purely manufactured for the drivers, the M6 Coupe comes with certain limitations, if you are a gearhead, then for sure, this 2010 M6 Coupe won’t disappoint you. Compared to the rivals, the M6 Coupe performs better whether on track, or around the town, but the 2010 XKR offers more punch under the hood. Talking about the cons, then there is no car available in the segment that asks for low maintenance cost, and the positive outlooks of the 2010 M6 Coupe outweigh the cons in every single way unless the servicing cost is bothering you.
