2012 BMW M6 Convertible
Purists Be Damned, This Is A Proper M The new BMW M6, and to an even greater extent this M6 Convertible, often causes automotive apoplexy in your typical armchair motoring enthusiast. That's because as soon as the M badge is applied to any BMW, all sorts of expectations are heaped upon it. Mostly those entail remembering what we, collectively, loved about the E30 M3, the E28 M5 and to a lesser extent, the E24 M6. Then cue bemoaning the added weight, complexity and unasked-for modernity of the new M. Of course, those perceived infractions are all tantamount to treason for lovers of ... Read More

0Report: BMW M6 Gran Coupe caught ahead of official debut 1352386800
When it comes to the M version of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, we've already seen spy photos and video of the car testing, but we've yet to see any shots of it in production trim until now. The new M6 Gran Coupe has done plenty of testing on the Nürburgring, but Car Magazine snapped a picture of the car sitting idle at the 'Ring, which was reportedly ...

Spy Shots: BMW M6 Gran Coupe spotted testing 1330613880
A myriad of official official pictures and video means we already know what the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe looks like, and we already know the base-model 640i variant will cost $76,895. The top slot, however, will be taken by the M6 Gran Coupe and it is in barren polar areas still preparing for primetime. BMW's challenger to rob from the piggy bank of the ...

Spy Shots: BMW M6 continues its striptease 1314901800
Now that the ink has dried on the 2012 BMW 6 Series coupe and convertible, it's time to focus on the rest of the Big Six range. BMW is hard at work on a four-door Gran Coupe version of the 6 Series, but the car we're waiting for is this, the next-generation M6. Like the previous M6, the new model should be available in both hardtop and droptop body ...

Spy Shots: BMW M6 coupe shows off a little more skin 1308848460
There's a new BMW 6 Series out there. The new M5 has been released. You know what that means, boys and girls: that's right, a new M6. Now we've already seen spy shots of both the upcoming M6 coupe and convertible, but this is our best look at it yet, bearing even less camouflage than before. The overall shape, of course, is no big surprise, as it ...

Spy Shots: BMW M6 coupe looks production-ready 1307566740
The sporty German two-door may be wearing camo in these photos, but it certainly looks like we're going to see the naked BMW M6 in the very near future. The convertible has already been subjected to the spy photographer's lens, but now its time for the cam-clad coupe to jump into the spotlight. We expect both the drop-top and hardtop to pack the same ...

The news we're eagerly awaiting is the official reveal of the upcoming M6 variant, as well as its drop-top sibling. We're under the assumption that the M6 should pack the same ...

Leaked? 2012 BMW 6 Series M-Sport package rears its sporty head 1303392000
When BMW unveils a new sports coupe, it's an exciting development. If not in its own right, then because you know it's going to lead to a new M model. And so the new 6 Series will lead to a new M6, but not just yet. That's where the M-Sport package comes in. Though the trim pack for the new 6 Series has yet to be released, this solitary (grainy) image ...

Our own Chris Paukert recently spent some time getting to know the 2012 BMW 6 Series Convertible, and he did so under the hot South African sun. BMW engineers are busy testing their upcoming hi-po M6 droptop, but they're doing so in a place where the top is definitely going to stay up. Spy photographers have caught the powerful two-door out playing in ...

Spy Shots: Wiesmann coupe prototype looking sinister 1286902620
Wiesmann, builder of exotic sport coupes that boast BMW power, has been working out a problem. The issue is that its sporty two-door MF5 and GT MF5 both featured V10 Teutonic muscle, but that engine has since been put to sleep. Apparently, they've now figured out what mill they want to place under their cars' long snouts. Spy photographers in Germany ...

BMW unveiled its 6 Series Coupe concept at this year's Paris Motor Show, giving us a preview at what the next-generation Sixer will look like when it debuts sometime next year.

Spy Shots: 2012 BMW M6 ready to tackle the 'Ring 1277139480
For the last few months, there's been a barrage of BMW 6 Series spy shots. But with the coupe and convertible performing a slow striptease in Germany, one model has been noticeably absent: the next-generation M6. Caught testing this morning outside the Nurburgring, BMW's high-po coupe differs from its staid siblings with upgraded wheels, drilled brake ...

Spy Shots: BMW X6 5.0iS puts the "sport" in "sports activity coupe" 1217246280
BMW has its own grammar rules. For instance, M and X cannot appear in the same car name. So while a BMW sport-ute/crossover (or whatever they want to call it) can for all intents and purposes be an M vehicle – that is, top-of-the-line sport model with all the go-fast components and power to spare – it can never wear the vaunted M badge. That is, ...

Spy Photos: BMW 6-Series gets nip-tuck 1174933860
In an obvious midlife ploy to increase its six appeal (credit goes to WorldCarFans for that excellent pun), BMW is sending its flagship coupe in for a quick nip-tuck. Expect to see a revised front and rear fascia on its 6-Series Coupe and Cab in Frankfurt this fall. That's the latest rumor going around, supported by spy shots like the ones we have for you ...

Spy Shot: 2007 BMW 6-Series 1159304640
The 2007 BMW 6-Series will feature a minor facelift, and an undisguised mule has been snapped undergoing testing at the Nurburgring. How minor a facelift? Well, you'd probably have to put the new one next to an old one to tell the difference. Purely cosmetic changes seem limited to a revised front bumper, with the integrated fog lights moving slightly ...

BMW M6 Cabrio pics leaked 1150725120
Here are the first official shots of the BMW M6 Cabrio, which apparently have been leaked ahead of the car's official debut if various other websites are to be believed. It's hard not to get excited about a RWD convertible being propelled by one of the most decorated engines in recent memory. We are, of course, speaking of BMW's 500-hp, 5.0L V10 engine. ...

Looking for something in a Chevrolet Caprice Estate? CWW Designs is happy to oblige 1147967760
The advent of photo manipulation programs like Adobe Photoshop have ushered in an era where its quite often hard to distinguish between fact and fiction-- sheet metal and pixelated musings of digital airbrush artists. For some publications, it's even an opportunity to fudge spy shots into convincing 'artist's renderings' purporting to represent future ...

Spy Shots: BMW M6 convertible 1147278120
BMW hasn't even declared plans to make it, and yet here it is, courtesy of the spy photographers at AutoWeek (click through to see the full car) -- the BMW M6 convertible, in all of its glory. We expect the drop-top to have all the goodies of its coupe sibling (sans the carbon fiber roof, of course): 5.0-liter, 500-hp, 383-lb-ft V10, seven-speed ...

Spotted! Tripedal BMW M6 1144753380
Savvy folks celebrating at Bimmerfest spotted this quirky BMW M6 and halted for a moment, observing the odd amber corners, carbon fiber roof, and... what's that? A clutch pedal, lack of steering wheel shifters and a suspiciously shirt-covered shifter? To the untrained eye, the vehicle would just have been another M6, but this is Bimmerfest guys, you ...
