Test Drive BMW M6 coupe F13 since 2012 coupe

Noble and strong

Ferrari and to, Attention: in the face of a 507-strong M6 concern BMW put on the course of a purebred superrespir, which offers not only unlimited power and classity, but also transport for every day
There is such a nightmare dream of a journalist to lead television news and after five minutes forced to pronounce: Sorry, dear spectators, nothing happened more today, and therefore we finish a little earlier. In our version, drive in the car and not find anything that would cost to chite. Knowing accurate: all that you will write now as a negative, the purest water griege. From this point of view, the new BMW M6 is such a nightmare.
He is all on his shoulder, the strongest of all times from the sixters. He can calmly hold on with Ferrari and, despite this, be a casual car. Outside the M6 \u200b\u200blooks almost like the usual sixth coupe. The fact that the wheelbarrow is slightly shorter, not noticeable. The fact that the center of gravity has shifted down, gives a lacquered carbon fiber roof. Front and rear spoilers with large air intakes, new thresholds and extended wings Yes Logo M from behind and on sides, on disks and steering wheel. That's all that rushes into the eyes.
And in the cabin a little discoveries. Ideal leather armchairs adjustable in all directions in front, enough space for children or packages with purchases from behind. All OK. Differences only cares. 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 transmission included. High tech from a combat fighter. M6 drivers are more like pilots.
The high-speed V10 engine is the same as the M5 sedan, only with a pair of small modifications. Maximum turns 8250 rpm. Power in 373 kW / 507 hp At 4999, a working volume of the working volume catars M6 from space to 100 km / h in just 4.6 s, after 14 seconds on the speedometer already 200. Ordinary Ferrari will not do it faster. At 250 km / h M6 includes a limiter. But the power would be enough to accelerate stronger. How much? Look at the speedometer scale, advises Ulrich Brunke, head of M-GMBH. 330 km / h. Here is the last division to the right below.
And you believe in this figure as soon as you run the motor. The fused muffled growl is distributed. More than 100 liters. with. In each liter, the volume is waiting for them to work. After 20 seconds, they calm down a bit ended the shortage of the warm-up phase, which first of all should bring the neutralizers to the operating mode. Slightly trap on the pedal of gas and now it sounds again, a roar from the depths of ten cylinders. Lead M6 in the movement of that still science, you need to do 11 operations! It would seem the lever of the box to the position D, let go of the handbrake, add the gas right? Well, if it is modern to come to the point? Using the startup program that is engaged in the start, as in Formula 1, set the number one option, turn off the DSC stabilization system, move the lever forward, give the gas speed at first to 4000. Release the lever and for overload, which will help you in the chair until the car accelerates you It would be worth passing the training of the cosmonaut. Devilgy!
But M6 can be meek. If you are not on the track, but on the usual street, you need to follow the R400 program (installed by default) and turn off the power button. This will limit the number of horses with only four hundreds and will allow you to go relatively civile, including cozy tempoomatic support (cruise control analogue) and a gently tuned suspension. We will add that in a 450-liter trunk will be arranged weekly procurement, up to the drawer with drinks. For comparison: in the M6 \u200b\u200bcoupe, the same place is behind the back, as in the Audi A4 sedan.
One way or another, the driver of M6 does not experience difficulties to cope with all the power to him. The center of gravity is lower than in the usual sixth coupe, brilliantly debugged suspension allows you to customize shock absorbers in three versions, from comfortable to sports. The electronic DSC stabilization system is effective to borderline modes. Wide tires on the rear axle will always give the desired effort on the road. The transmissions in the seven-step box SMG switch either automatically or consistently by the lever in the center console, or as in the racing blades under the ram. Characteristics of the box are configured by 11 programs from dynamically smoothed to frankly sports.
Critical comments to the Em-Sixth will make only the sake of political correctness. For example, that fuel consumption completely does not meet the spirit of the times. In the officially reduced 14.6 l / 100 km (the average consumption) will not believe the engineers themselves who are going to go to the BMW, he is not needed. A potential buyer is better to immediately double this indicator. And, of course, M6 sorry in a pigsk road. Basic price from 106,500 euros. The basic is the right word: the option of options contains 29 positions, from a universal iron for clothing for 25.7 euros to a completely leather interior Merino for 7500. Adaptive head light, for example, can be obtained only by paying 600 euros. Hey, you, in this class and so petty! After all, in the league, where the new M6 is playing, a couple of hundred euros do no matter there.
Well. I, as a journalist, found, what to criticize, and the car-nightmare turned into a dream car!
