Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2017 BMW M6 challenges more expensive rivals such as the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and the Nissan GT-R. Meanwhile, more affordable direct alternatives include the Chevrolet Corvette. With standalone trim, the M6 carries an MSRP of $113,700. It is offered with a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission, producing 560 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the M6 manages a 0-60 of 3.8 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 16 MPG.

Buying Advice

If you are still thirsty for power then the $8,300 Competition Package is just for you. It increases the output by 40 horsepower and 16 lb-ft of torque. There are some other performance additions as well. Even if you want to skip this package, we insist on the Driver Assistance Plus which adds more driving aids.
