2010 BMW M6 Review

[BmwDubai]

Review

Deceptive in its styling, impressive in its performance, the 2010 BMW M6 takes the sport coupe concept to a whole new level. Based on auto reviews, road test information and new/used car guide data, the M5 is a stellar vehicle that disguises just what it’s capable of. It earns 11 per gallon in the city and 17 per gallon on the highway.

Improvements from the 2009 M6

BMW opted not to change any styling or performance aspects for its 2010 M6. It did change, on most of its models, the iDrive computer interface that received so much complaining in past years. On the whole, it’s identical to its 2009 counterpart.

Performance

If you’re thinking of an M6, performance is a high priority. It features a 5.0 Liter V10 engine that get 500 horsepower. A seven speed sequential manual transmission comes standard, but you also can select a six-speed for the same price. It goes from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds (that’s the coupe; the convertible gets to 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds).

If you like options, you’ll enjoy the M6’s suspension settings. You can customize and select comfort, normal or sport modes, depending on your preferences.

Many reviewers dislike the seven-speed transmission, saying it didn’t meet expectations. But it’s not likely you’ll notice the difference on public roadways.

Exterior features

You can select either a coupe or convertible for the M5, both of which offer a complete sports car styling that’s obvious from far away.

Interior features

Styled for performance, don’t expect the M5 to provide extra comfort or storage. This is a serious sports car, and it anticipates that it’ll have one or two passengers, and that you’ll care more about RPM than DVD. As a result, expect the M6 to display standard German-engineered interior styling.

Safety and specs

Car safety is a priority for BMW, and just like other BMW models the M6 features ample safety features including dynamic stability control, antilock brakes and brake assist (among many others).

Upgrade options

BMW creates a host of a la carte options for all of its vehicles, and the M6 is no different. If you’re looking for an iPod connection kit, upgraded seats, extra multimedia function or specialized wheels, an upgrade is likely in your future. Be sure to check out photos of the M6 to determine which features you need.
