M6 Sport Auto: BMW M6 Cabriolet


The BMW M6 is a high-performance version of the 6 Series marketed under the BMW M sub-brand from 1983 to 2019 (with a hiatus from 1990 to 2004). Introduced in the coupe body style, the M6 was also built in convertible and fastback sedan ('Gran Coupe') body styles for later generations. An M6 model was built for each of the first three generations of the 6 Series. Production of the M6 ended in 2019 and it was replaced by the BMW M8 (F91/F92/F93) in 2019. Official website: BMW M
its obvious M6 Cabrio weigh 200kg more than the Coupe. Its a lot slower in acceleration and on the track.
 
I find "a lot" a bit strong. It's slower, but 2,2 seconds on 0-200 isn't a lot from a convertibal version. Also their 0-100 figures seem to be of their own, and still not that big a difference. The tracktime is also not that much slower. I think, despite the weight increase and no power upgrade, the M6 convertible stays pretty damn fast.

M6 Coupe is 2.1 sekonds faster than M6 Cabrio, its a lot on a small track like hockenheim.

I would agree for the most part, the M6 cabriolet is still pretty fast despite carrying much more weight. Overall i'd say it's clear the coupe is them more sporty vehicle, but the M6 cabriolet is pretty good :usa7uh:
 
You know what they say about convertibles:

9/10th the performance, 12/10th the fun.

I kinda agree. Driving such a poweful car with the roof down on a sunny day really is fantastic.

Unless, like Just_me, you only think of the track (where only 1 out of every 500 M6 go anyways)

645i Coupe is only 0.3 seconds slower than M6 Cabrio around hockenheim. M Cabrios is just for posers like you ;)
 
LOL :eusa_danc

The M6 cabrio is made for high speed cruising, like a Mercedes. I'm cool with that, there are other BMW models more suited for track use.

I think they did a remarkable job with this car, and it's one of my favorites in the current line-up.

i recall reading in a mogazine that the M6 is a phat-cat cruiser and they are 150% right on this!

And, BTW, klier, you are right on this too, cabrios are made for fun!

BMW M

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport") was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines, transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
