2012 BMW M6: First Look

By Colin Bird

After a two-year sabbatical, the BMW M6 is back for the model year, packing more power and better fuel efficiency. First to launch will be the 2012 BMW M6 convertible in June, with a 2013 BMW M6 coupe following later this summer.
If you've read up on the 2012 BMW M5, you'll be familiar with most of the performance upgrades on the new M6. The model gets a new V-8 motor — first seen on the BMW X5 M, X6 M and most recently on the M5. Despite the smaller displacement and two fewer cylinders than the 2010 M6, the new engine provides more power and better fuel efficiency. Rated at 560 horsepower, the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 also produces 502 pounds-feet of torque; it's the most powerful engine ever available on a retail BMW model, says the carmaker. The powertrain packs 60 hp and 119 pounds-feet more torque than the 2010 M6. Auto start-stop and regenerative braking also come standard on the model.
