BMW from the occurrence by summer of 2003 many compared 6-th series to a predatory fish. The cut forms, the concave surfaces and a severe grin of a lattice with small eyes-headlights cause such associations. Time of most predatory of all sharks born at factories of the Bavarian concern has come.

Main difference М6 from « the simple six » - the engine. It is the V-shaped ten-cylinder motor power 507 h.p. with system adjustments of phases Double VANOS and individual electron-operated throttle for each cylinder. Engineers BMW managed to step over a threshold of specific power of the engine 100 h.p. on one litre of working volume, not resorting to any superchargers. The traction effort from the motor is transferred through the robotized mechanical seven-step box of transfers SMG.
It provides six operating modes of manual switching (from “optimum dynamical” up to “uncompromisingly sports”) and five, completely automatic. At manual management of transfer it is possible to switch not only the floor lever, but also “petals” on a rudder. Function DriveLogic of an automatic mode provides the optimum moments of switching in view of a manner of driving of the driver. From a place up to “hundred” М6 it is dispersed for 4,6 with, and up to 200 km/h - for 14. For comparison: “usual” 4,5-liter “six” of 100 km/h types speed through 5,6 after start. To reach such parameters to a new compartment blocking of interwheel differential with electronic management helps. A suspension bracket independent completely aluminium, in front - mcpherson on a underframe. Shock-absorbers - with system of regulation of rigidity EDC having three adjustments: comfortable, normal and sports.

V-shaped “ten” it is necessary almost twice more air for cooling, than to the standard motor. Therefore the air inlet in a forward bumper is considerably increased. Visually it continues a line on a cowl, that changes character of a grin of a shark with the letter “M” a little. In standard BMW М6 furnish of interior by a leather «Merino». Sports seats have not only a set of electroadjustments and heating, but even adjustment on width. As an option - displaying of indications of devices on a windscreen.

On the guard of passive safety - six air bags. On active systems of dynamic stabilization of new generation and the control of pressure over trunks work ABS. By the way, at М6 is not present, result of struggle for reduction in weight. With the same purpose light alloys and plastics here are widely presented: for example, a roof unlike simple «sixes». Thus, the compartment possesses an excellent parameter of specific weight - 3,3 kg/½.ß.
