Used 2017 BMW M6 for sale 

The M6 Coupe is available in only one trim level. However, BMW offers the M6 in three different body styles. The M6 Coupe is a hard top conventional coupe, the M6 Gran Coupe is a hardtop four-door coupe, and the M6 convertible is, as the name suggests, a two-door convertible. All three body styles of the M6 come with the same mechanicals. However, some features differ according to body style.

We Recommend

BMW M6 is available in a single trim only. The only choice comes while choosing the body style. It comes equipped with a standard BM Assist emergency communication system and BMW Remote Services. We would suggest you equip the car with the Driver Assistance Plus package.

The 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 DOHC power plant of the BMW M6 churns out a whopping 560 horsepower and makes a solid 500 lb-ft of torque. The engine is coupled to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which is exceptionally quick in shifting gears, further ensuring undisturbed power delivery. Power from the engine is sent to the rear wheels of the coupe.

No car in the competition beats the M6 in terms of power. The Mercedes Benz uses a smaller 4-liter engine and makes 57 horses less than the Beemer. The Jaguar F-Type on the other hand uses a larger 5-liter engine and yet makes 10 horses less than the M6. When it comes to torque figures, Mercedes takes the crown for offering the most in the segment.

2017 BMW M6 Acceleration and Braking 

The BMW has decent acceleration timings but isn't really quick as you would want it to be. The M6 propels itself from a standstill to 60 MPH in about 4.1 seconds. Take this mighty car to the drag strip, and it will cover the quarter-mile distance in about 12.1 seconds. The acceleration figures of the BMW are rather disappointing. 

In spite of being the most powerful competition, it fails to beat its rivals in terms of acceleration timings. The quickest car of the lot in terms of 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile acceleration timings happens to be Jaguar F-Type, which takes 3.4 seconds and 11.7 seconds, respectively. The Mercedes Benz AMG C 63 S Coupe beats the M6 in terms of 0-60 MPH acceleration timings.

When it comes to braking performance, all the coupes on the table stand too close and bring some tough competition for each other. The best performance though is served by Mercedes as it takes one foot less than beemer and reaches a halt from 60 mph in just 109 ft. Beemer turns to Jaguar and takes an upper hand by the same difference of 1 foot.

Ride and Handling

The most impressive part of the BMW M6 is the way it handles. It handles purely like a sports car. The steering is really sensitive and responds quickly. The car is also always ready to dive into the corners, and the aerodynamics of the car helps it to stick on the ground firmly. Suspensions are on the firmer side to up the track performance. A pure joy to drive, that's the BMW M6 exactly is.

Credit to the stiffer suspension set up, the ride quality somewhat goes on the harsher side and is not as plush as the regular 6 Series luxury sedan. You'll definitely get every second bump or a pothole you meet through your spine as you drive down the bad roads. However, the bolstered race-spec bucket seats ensure that you don't get thrown around during some spirited high-speed cornering.

Not many people shopping in this category would care about the fuel efficiency numbers, yet we have them for you just in case you happen to be an environmentalist who cares about saving fuel and reducing the carbon footprint. The BMW M6 can go for 14 miles in the city on a gallon of fuel, while out there on the highway, it can go for 20 miles on a gallon of fuel. The M6 gets a combined MPG rating of 16.

The M6 is the least fuel-efficient of the lot. The Mercedes happens to be the most fuel-efficient car of the lot and gets a combined fuel economy rating of 19 MPG. The Jag on the other hand gets a combined MPG rating of 18 and stands between the other two on the table.

Climb on the inside of the BMW M6 Coupe, you'll rather find upscale interiors. Everything is covered in either high-quality leather or carbon fiber. The cabin of the car is pretty much centered around the driver. The controls, the switches, the knobs, and the screen are all pointed towards the driver so that the driver can have the maximum amount of information. You have race-spec bucket seats upfront just to hold you tightly in place during high-speed driving. In a nutshell, the cabin just justifies the price tag and is just as you would expect from a car in this segment.

BMW claims that the M6 can accommodate 4 people, but it actually cannot. The rear seats are rather cramped and not fit for carrying 2 adults. So, in reality, you can actually carry 2 adults and 2 kids in the rear probably. Upfront, you get a total head/shoulder/leg room of 40.0/56.9/42.1 inches while at the rear you get a total head/shoulder/leg room of 35.7/49.7/30.5 inches. The front is quite spacious and is pretty comfortable there.

The M6 has best in class spacious interiors for its commuters, followed by the C63 S, and ending with the F-Type R. The BMW provides the maximum headroom for its first row passengers i.e 40.0 inches. While BMW and Mercedes offer seating space for 4 people, Jaguar only offers a seating option for two.

2017 BMW M6 Infotainment 

The infotainment system of the M6 is one of the most advanced systems in the category. It consists of a radio with seek-and-scan, a dash-mounted CD player, MP3 player, clock, speed-compensated volume control, aux input jack, steering wheel control, voice activation, DVD audio, and 20 GB internal memory.

Additionally, you get a Harman/Kardon 14 speaker surround sound system. Some of the key infotainment features offered with the 2017 BMW M6 are:

• Cell phone pre-wiring.
• Steering wheel controls.
• Voice command activation.
• Real-time traffic display.
• Audio theft deterrent.
• Turn by turn traffic display.
• Harman/Kardon surround sound system.

2017 BMW M6 Cargo Volume

There is quite a generous amount of cargo storage space on offer. In fact, the M6 boasts 16.2 cubic feet of cargo volume, which is the best in the segment. The Jaguar gets the second-largest trunk volume of 11 cubic feet, while the Mercedes Benz features the lowest cargo volume of 10.5 cubic feet.

The balanced and proportionate dimensions of a car only make it aesthetically pleasing. Designers at BMW have done a good job in making the car a good looking beast, and the properly laid out dimensions of the car have quite a good role to play in it.

The M6 Coupe is 193 inches long, 74.8 inches wide, and 54.1 inches tall. The car gets a low ground of 4.2 inches just to help you have that extra bit of downforce. The car also gets a large wheelbase of 112.2 inches and weighs about 4,250 lbs.

The M6 happens to be the longest car in the lot, while the Jaguar is the widest. The Mercedes on the other hand happens to be the tallest, while the Jaguar features the best in a class ground clearance of 4.8 inches. The Jaguar F-Type also happens to be the lightest car in the lot at 3814 lbs, whereas the BMW M6 is the heaviest. Some of the cool exterior features put forward by the 2017 BMW M6 are:

• Speed sensitive rain detecting variable intermittent wipers
• Rear fog lamps 
• LED headlamps
• LED taillights
• Powered tailgate

When you decide on buying the German classic like BMW M6, you do expect comprehensive safety features to be features in the car, and that’s what you get with the 2017 BMW M6 Coupe. Though agencies like NHTSA and IIHS have not rated the sedan, we can be content after looking at the host of safety features available. Few key features include-

• DSC III Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
• Dual Stage Driver And Passenger Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
• ABS And Driveline Traction Control
• Forward Collision
• Back-Up Camera
• First Aid Kit
• Tire Specific Low Tire Pressure Warning

2017 BMW M6 vs Mercedes Benz AMG C 63 S Coupe

The Mercedes Benz AMG C 63 S Coupe is yet another German high-performance coupe. The Mercedes makes 60 horses less than the M6 but beats the M6 in terms of 0-60 acceleration timings. The M6, however, costs $38,000 more than the Merc. The car from Stuttgart also has more fuel economy figures than the one from Munich. 

Features and equipment on both the cars are pretty much the same, and there's nothing really we could differentiate between the two. Analyzing both the cars closely, we'd rather say that the Merc has the upper hand over the Beemer. It is cheaper, it is fuel-efficient, it also has a good performance offer. All-in-all, a great proposition for your money.

2017 BMW M6 vs Jaguar F-Type R Coupe

The Jaguar F-Type R Coupe is yet another sports coupe from England. The Jag is about 10 horses deficient to the M6 but has a better performance in terms of acceleration. The Jaguar also has better fuel economy numbers and at the same time is 8 grand cheaper than the M6. The M6 can accommodate a couple of kids on its back seats but the rear seats do not exist in the Jaguar.

Comparing closely, the Jaguar F-Type R is the more sensible car of the two given the fact that it performs better than the M6 on all the fronts and also comes cheaper than the M6. In conclusion, we'd rather suggest you buy the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe and not the BMW M6 Coupe.

One always wants extraordinary when spending more than $100k, and BMW brings all that is required with its performance-focused M6 Coupe. From quality interior to thorough safety, all this with the powerful V8 pushing out 560 hp, BMW M6 becomes an attractive proposition. Few things which keep BMW from getting a landslide victory over rivals are the comparatively unimpressive performance and the expensive price tag, thus making other competitors like F-Type R and Merc AMG C 63 S also to be a valuable option in the segment.
