Overview
The BMW M6 Convertible is truly unmistakable. It is the open-air version of the
high-performance of the BMW M6 sports car. And at the same time it
is the most sporting and dynamic rendition of the BMW 6 Series Convertible. An excellent balance of weight contributes to the superior driving behaviour - the bodyshell uses modern plastics wherever appropriate.
At the same time these advanced materials are stiffer and stronger than
comparable components made of conventional materials, not only helping to
enhance the cars driving dynamics, but also to ensure supreme vibration
control with a very high standard of crash safety. Performance is comparable with the more resolute looking coupe which is testament to the thought BMW have put into the new M6 convertible. Another notable point it the Convertibles high-performance brakes comparable with motorsport vehicles. The BMW M6 Convertible comes
to a halt from 100 km/h within just 36 metres or 118 feet, while its stopping
distance from 200 km/h is less than 140 metres or 46 feet.
Drivelogic is standard in the new M6s. In BMWs SMG transmission it offers the driver 11 driving programs for an individual SMG gearshift. Six of these 11 programs my be pre-selected within the manual gearshift function (S mode), with the driver choosing gears by hand. The only exception is Launch Control for maximum acceleration from
a standstill. The shift maneuvers required in each case are completed
independently by transmission at the ideal gearshift point and with
optimum slip control. Adding to this freedom in choosing gears manually, the D-mode offers five driving programs with automatic transmission.
The variable, speed-sensing M Differential Lock gives the Convertible superior
driving stability and optimum traction particularly when accelerating out
of a bend. So even in very demanding situations, the car benefits from decisive
advantages, for example with the drive wheels running on
different surfaces with very different frictional elements. In such a case the
M Differential Lock immediately builds up a growing lock effect parallel to
the difference in speed on the drive wheels, safely retaining superior thrust
and power. The BMW M6 Convertible also comes with BMWs latest generation of DSC
Dynamic Stability Control offering maximum driving safety for sporting maneouvers. The driver also has the option to switch off the DSC.
