The BMW M6, a high-performance version of the 6 Series, exemplified BMW M's engineering prowess from 1983 to 2019, with a notable return in 2006 after a 16-year hiatus.
Between 2006 and 2013, the M6 transitioned from a naturally aspirated 5.0L V10 producing 500 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque to a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 in 2013, delivering 560 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Rear-wheel drive (RWD) was standard, paired with advanced 7-speed transmission options, including a Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) with multiple shift programs and launch control.
This shift from high-revving V10s to turbocharged V8s reflected BMW's move toward modern performance trends.
