ProsConsWhat's New

Plenty of color options for people with any kind of taste

Handling can feel vague around a tight corner

More power to the Competition package

The competition package truly brings the heat and is seriously underpriced

Standard Brakes are not exactly the best to handle the raw performance it delivers

LED headlights are now standard

The Interior is well crafted

Minor changes to the optional packages

Overview

The 2016 BMW M6 makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With single but unique trim on offer, the 2016 BMW M6 has a base MSRP of $113,400, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $121,700 with packages like the “competition package”.Competing directly with the Mercedes-Benz AMG S 63 Coupe and the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe. Only a 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed automatic manual transmission. Together, they produce 560 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4 seconds, the BMW M6 maintains a combined fuel economy of 16 MPG. BMW offers the M6 in 15 stunning colors, with the San Marino Blue metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

BMW M6 might only come in one trim but the packages offered can make the vehicle distinctive in itself. The “Competition” package is too good to pass up on, with a ton of upgraded pieces of equipment and engine, the vehicle will be an absolute blast to ride around.
