New BMW M6 to blast into town

The outgoing models had already set benchmarks with the flawless balance of power, efficiency, agility, comfort and luxury typical of M models.

And now the new models are poised to write a fresh chapter in this success story, fuelled by an even more finely-honed, well-resolved overall concept.

The three new cars announce their high-performance credentials before they even turn a wheel, thanks to their athletic and dynamic appearance.

A front end with new, standard-fitted LED headlights makes their intentions immediately clear – the M-specific double-bar kidney grille and eye-catching front apron with large air intakes see to that.

The sculpted front wings with hallmark M gills, the side skirts and the exclusive forged 19-inch M light-alloy wheels (BMW M6 Gran Coupe exclusive forged 20-inch M light-alloy wheels) only add to this impression.

The sporting looks of the new models are rounded off by a rear apron with integrated diffuser insert, two sets of M-specific twin tailpipes and the M6 logo on the boot lid.

Another exclusive M feature is the ultra-lightweight contoured carbon roof of the new BMW M6 Coupe and new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, which also helps to lower the cars’ centre of gravity visually.

The new BMW M6 range goes on sale in South Africa in the second quarter of 2015.

Pricing and specs will be confirmed closer to the launch date.
