2013 BMW M6 Coupe

As far as BMW vehicles go, the arguably most revered class of the company by both auto enthusiasts and the manufacturers themselves has always been the M series of performance vehicles. Despite our hope that BMW will bring back the legendary M1 supercar (though the i8 Concept is beautiful), we’re more than game to accept a new member of the family whenever the BMW motorsport design gods feel like fueling the passionate fan fire this sub-brand ignites.

Back at the Geneva Auto Show in March (alongside the new Lambo and Ferrari), the company revamped the eye-catching M variant of its six-series line of executive coupes and convertibles. The series, which got its own overhaul for the 2012 auto year, is decidedly a legacy vehicle that exudes luxury and the perfect hint of sports appeal, which has made it so popular.

The M6 delivers a resoundingly decent 28.5 miles per gallon combined and emits 371 g/mile. The seven-speed M double clutch transmission features Drivelogic, which gives the driver further control over the car’s power and limits power interruptions through the acceleration. Combined with the increasingly common performance paddle shifters, the vehicle is more than equipped in the leather-wrapped cabin to keep you entertained and exhilarated on the road.
The redesigned exterior features a bold and aggressive body design that intertwines dynamic lines and a striking façade, alongside the contoured carbon fiber roof for lower weight and center of gravity, improving your driving experience. Beginning with the traditional M grille and imposing lowe
