Reflecting its outstanding power and performance, the BMW M6 naturally features extra-large high-performance brakes complete with cross-drilled extra-low-weight compound brake discs.

The double-piston swing callipers made of aluminium are optimised for both weight and stiffness and ensure stopping distances are shorter than ever before: Applying the brakes from 100 km/h, the BMW M6 stops in just 36 metres. From 200 km/h to 0 takes less than 140 metres.

The BMW M6 is distinguished visually from its 645Ci Coupé cousins by way of subtle and unpretentious styling modifications.

The most eye-catching feature is the truly impressive front air dam. The V10 engine requires roughly twice as much cooling air as the V8 in the BMW 645Ci. Large secondary intake openings to the left and right of the front air dam feed the M6 engine more air and cool the brakes at the same time.

Deeply contoured side-sills are styled for function but enhance the visual form. Four delicious 19-inch forged aluminium wheels - developed especially for the M6 - feature five filigree double spokes. They are extremely light and reveal the massive brake discs. M GmbH trademark aerodynamic door mirrors and ventilation slats cut into the front mudguards immediately identify the M6 to the connoisseur.

At the rear, the air dam, with its characteristic diffuser opening again serves an aerodynamic function and adds an even more sporting look to the car. The diffuser's design improves the flow of air along the underfloor and reduces lift.

Inside, the M6 stands out with sophisticated Merino leather upholstery in a choice of three colours or - optionally a full leather interior leaves absolutely nothing to be desired.
