BMW M6 Convertible


The BMW M Series is a line of luxury cars manufactured by the German automaker BMW. Brought to India in 2007, the BMW M Series is available in three models: M5 Sedan, M6 Coupe, and M6 Convertible. The BMW M6 Convertible is a 2-door convertible with a foldable cover top or an option of a sunroof/moonroof. It is built on the FR platform

The BMW M6 Convertible derives power from a standard 5.0-liter V-10 engine, which churns out 507 bhp @ 7,750 rpm and 520 Nm of torque @ 6,100 rpm. The M6 Convertible goes from 0-100 km per hour in 4.8 seconds. Along with the double-Vanos camshaft control system, the engine responds without hesitation.

The engine is linked to a 7-speed M Drivelogic Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG), which features gear-change keys on the steering wheel and a selection lever on the central console. It allows for changing of gears quickly, without having to reduce speed, decrease engine power, or use a clutch. Maximum acceleration can be achieved by launch control, which ensures that speed is maintained across the entire range of gear changes

Also standard on the BMW M6 Convertible is the MDrive Manager, which can individually configure key properties, such as engine performance and shift programs, for optimum flexibility using the MDrive button. The pre-configured settings can be activated at the push of a button by the MDrive control on the steering wheel. Available settings include digital motor electronics (DME), seven-speed SMG Drivelogic, a dynamic stability control (DSC) system, and an M-specific head-up display.


The BMW M6 Convertible relishes in its sporty, stylish, and powerful appearance. The M6 Convertible is 4,871 mm in length and rides on a wheelbase of 2,781 mm, which is the same as the M6 Coupe. Its front fascia is adorned by a body-colour bumper, a twin-grille that wears the BMW badge on its forehead, and stylish headlights.

The M6 Convertible is made from innovative, high-strength lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon, due to which it achieves an unbeatable power-to-weight ratio. The BMW M6 Convertible looks athletic, elegant, and luxurious. Its most striking feature is its automatic top that opens quickly and silently so you can enjoy the experience of open air driving.

The BMW M6 Convertible also comes standard with rain-sensing front wipers, a rear defogger, and a rear wiper. It has a fuel tank capacity of 70 litres. Some other amenities standard on the BMW M6 Convertible include an air conditioner, power windows, a power steering, power door locks, a tiltable steering column, tinted window glass, electrically-adjustable outside mirrors, and cup holders.

The body-shell of the BMW M6 Convertible is extremely stiff and resilient, which maximises passenger comfort as well as safety. It also comes with deformation zones on the front and rear bumpers to protect the body-shell from damage. For safety, the BMW M6 Convertible features driver and front passenger, side and head airbags. It also comes standard with seatbelts, pre-tensioners, and an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Some other safety features standard on the BMW M6 Convertible include central locking, an engine immobilizer, a remote keyless entry, child safety door locks, a collapsible steering, and an anti-theft alarm.
