Powered by a Twin-Turbo V8 Engine The BMW M6 F13 (2012-2018) features a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 (S63 engine) producing 560 hp and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque, making it one of the most powerful M cars of its time.
Competition Package Increased Power to 600 HP The M6 Competition Package, introduced in 2014, boosted power to 600 hp and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft), improving 0-100 km/h acceleration to just 3.9 seconds.
Available in Three Body Styles The M6 was available in Coupé (F13), Convertible (F12), and Gran Coupé (F06) variants, offering different styles while maintaining the same high-performance DNA.
Seven-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) The F13 M6 came standard with a 7-speed M-DCT transmission, providing lightning-fast gear shifts, but a 6-speed manual option was available in the U.S.
Electronically Limited Top Speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) The standard M6 is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), but with the M Driver’s Package, the limit is raised to 305 km/h (189 mph).
M Carbon Ceramic Brakes Were Optional Buyers could opt for M Carbon Ceramic Brakes, which reduced weight and improved braking performance for high-speed driving and track use.
One of the Heaviest M Cars Ever The M6 F13 weighs approximately 1,925 kg (4,244 lbs), making it one of the heaviest M cars, yet it still delivers sports car-like agility.
Aggressive Aerodynamics and Carbon Fiber Roof The M6 Coupé features a lightweight carbon-fiber roof, improving weight distribution and aerodynamics while giving the car an aggressive stance.
Highly Customizable Interior with Luxury Touches The M6 combined high performance with luxury, featuring Merino leather, M-specific digital gauges, a head-up display, and premium Bang & Olufsen sound system options.
Replaced by the BMW M8 in 2019 The M6 was discontinued in 2018, and its successor, the BMW M8, took over as BMW’s flagship high-performance grand tourer.

The F13 M6 is BMW's last true V8-powered GT, combining a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 (560–600hp) with luxurious 2+2 seating and autobahn-storming performance.
Now depreciated, it's a performance bargain with future classic potential.

Pro Tip: A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) focusing on rod bearings and turbos (€500–€1,000) is highly recommended.
Fun Fact: The M6's S63TU engine shares its block with the X5 M—but revs 1,500 RPM higher with different turbos!
(This is the last M6 with a V8—a future classic that's currently a performance steal.)
