Test drive BMW M6 E63 compartment since 2005 compartment

Noble and strong

Ferrari and K, attention: in the person of the 507-horsepower M6, the BMW concern put a purebred super-sportsar on the move, which offers not only unlimited power and class, but also transport for every day
There is such a nightmare dream of a journalist to conduct television news and for about five minutes to pronounce: sorry, respected spectators, nothing more happened today, and therefore we finish a little earlier. In our version, drive in a car and find nothing that would be screaming. Knowing for sure: everything that you will now write as a negativity, clean water grumbling. From this point of view, the new BMW M6 is such a nightmare.
Everything is on the shoulder, the strongest of the six times of all time. He can calmly hold on with Ferrari and, despite this, be a daily car. Outside, M6 looks almost like an ordinary sixth compartment. The fact that the wheelbase is slightly shorter is not noticeable by eye. The fact that the center of gravity has shifted lower, gives out a lacquered carbon fiber roof. Front and rear spoilers with large air intakes, new thresholds and extended wings and logo m on the back and sides, on the disks and the steering wheel, that's all that catches the eye.
And there are few discoveries in the cabin. Ideal leather chairs adjustable in all directions, enough space for children or packages with purchases from behind. All OK. The differences will only catch a picky look. The serial Head-up display, for example, reflects the testimony in the windshield so that they are visible only to the driver: this is speed, engine speed and the transmission turned on. High-tech from a fighter fighter. Drivers M6 are rather pilots.
The high -speed engine V10 is the same as the sedan M5, only with a couple of small improvements. Maximum turns 8250 rpm. Power of 373 kW/507 hp At 4999 cm, the working volume catapults M6 from a place up to 100 km/h in just 4.6 s, after 14 seconds on the speedometer already 200. An ordinary Ferrari will not do it faster. At 250 km/h m6, it includes a limiter. But the power would have enough to accelerate more. How much? Look at the speedometer scale, advises Ulrich Brunka, the head of M-GMBH. 330 km/h here is the last division right at the bottom right.
And you believe in this figure as soon as you run the motor. A well -fed muted growl is heard. More than 100 liters. With. In each liter, they are waiting for the volume when they are given a job. After 20 seconds, they calm down a little, the short -lived phase of heating, which first of all should bring neutralizers to the operating mode. You stomp the gas pedal a little and now it sounds again, a roar from the depths of ten cylinders. To put M6 in motion that science, it is necessary to do 11 operations! It would seem that the lever of the box to position D, release the handbrake, add gas to the gas? Well, if you go to business modernly? Using the launch program that is engaged in the start, as in Formula 1, set the option number one, turn off the DSC stabilization system, move the lever forward, give gas to the revolutions at first to release the lever and for overload, which leads you into the chair while the car accelerates , it would be worth a cosmonaut training. Devilry!
But M6 may be meek. If you are not on the track, but on an ordinary street, you need to follow the P400 program (set by default) and turn off the power button. This will limit the livestock of horses in only four hundred and will allow you to go relatively civilian, including cozy support for the template (an analogue of cruise control) and a softly tuned suspension. To this we add that in a 450-liter trunk there will be weekly purchases, up to a box with drinks. For comparison: in the compartment M6 is the same room behind as in the Audi A4 sedan.
One way or another, the driver of the M6 \u200b\u200bis not difficult to cope with all the power. The center of gravity is lower than in a regular sixth compartment, a brilliantly debugged suspension allows you to configure shock absorbers in three versions, from comfortable to sports. The electronic DSC stabilization system is effective up to border modes. Wide tires on the rear axle will always pass the desired effort to the road. Genings in a seven -speed SMG box are switched either automatically or in a sequence lever in the central console, or as in a racing car with blades under the steering wheel. The characteristics of the box are tuned in 11 programs from dynamically smoothed to frankly sports.
We will make critical comments addressed to the EM-Sest only for political correctness. For example, that fuel consumption does not meet the spirit of time at all. In the officially given 14.6 l/100 km (average consumption), the company's engineers themselves will not be believed who is going to go to BMW like this, he does not need it. A potential buyer is best doubled to double this indicator. And, of course, M6 sorry in a way. The base price is from 106,500 euros. The basic is the true word: a sheet of options contains 29 positions, from a universal clothing iron for 25.7 euros to a completely leather salon of Merino for 7500. Adaptive headlight, for example, can only be obtained by paying 600 euros. Hey, you, in this class, are so petty! Indeed, in the league where the new M6 plays, a couple of hundred euros are not important back and forth.
Here you go. I, as a journalist, found what to criticize, and the Koshmar car turned into a swing car!
