We Recommend
The BMW M6 is available as a single trim offering, and it is our only recommendation. It delivers seemingly-well by virtue of its sought-after engine and transmission setup. Multiple standard features like heated front seats, navigation system, and more, along with optional specifications also make it practical and pragmatic.
The 2014 iteration of the BMW M6 comes with a standard engine option that scores highly in reliability. It sports a 4.4L V8 engine that is good for 560 hp of engine power and 500 lb.-ft of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed automated manual transmission and is channeled as a rear-wheel-drive variant only.
It boosts from a still to the 60 MPH mark in 4.2 seconds. While its quarter-mile timings are not known, the M6 Coupe records a top speed of 155 MPH. The BMW M6 Coupe is also made available with the Competition Package that adds 15 extra horses of power.

In comparison, while all three cars make use of a V8 engine, the drivetrain setups remain distinctive. TheAudi RS7 and the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG S are channeled as all-wheel-drive variants, whereas the BMW comes as a rear-wheel-drive in its default setup. In the acceleration test, both cars managed to outdo the M6 Coupe by a considerable margin. In the quarter-mile run, while the RS7 clocks 11.6 seconds, the CLS 63 AMG S is good for 11.7 seconds.
The BMW M6 is highly efficient as per segment standards. Its economy of 16 MPG in the city is class-competing. While the M6 Coupe may not be as efficient on the highway, it manages to average 22 MPG. The combined efficiency of 18 miles per gallon of fuel is the second-highest in the segment. Its fuel tank has a total capacity of 21.1 gallons, and it can cover a total range of 337.6 and 464.2 miles in the city and on the highway, respectively.

In comparison, the Audi RS7 is the most fuel-efficient car on the block, averaging 19 MPG, while the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG S lurks at the bottom of the table with just 16 MPG combined. However, the CLS63 AMG S features a similar-sized fuel tank as the M6 Coupe, which allows it to manage competitive range to an extent.
The BMW M6’s focus on performance does not come at the cost of its comfort and pleasure. The traditional M-powered steering wheel is not just good to look at or in its feel, it is also responsive in its functioning. The dual-tone interior adds plushness to the overall design, while the use of carbon fiber on the central console and doors looks rather quirky and athletic. The large infotainment screen that sits centrally is striking and supports refined pixels, while the rotary knob and buttons for its control on the console add practicality to the cabin.
The BMW M6 Coupe offers best-in-class seats which offer supreme comfort. The cabin is as silent as a library and isolates you from the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York. Surprisingly, what puts the M6 streets behind its competitors is its cargo capacity of 13 cubic feet. The M6 has a total seating capacity of four passengers, which is also the segment standard.

While the front seats have ample space, the legroom for the rear seat passengers is a bit constrained in both contemporaries. In terms of cargo capacity, the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 S AMG and Audi RS7 have larger trunks and can manage 15.3 and 13 cubic feet, respectively. Some standout interior features of the BMW M6 include:
The BMW M6 Coupe’s innate usability and practicality extend even to its infotainment system. As standard, the BMW M6 makes use of a 10.2-inch display screen that gets connected to Bluetooth and an audio phone.
It is equipped with a 16-speaker sound system that works well as per segment standards. Basic features like AM/FM stereo, CD Player, and MP3 Player are available at the buyer’s disposal, while optional features include a premium sound system. The infotainment also supports the navigation system and rearview camera. Some of its other standout features include:
The BMW M6 is beefy and brawny in its road presence, and its distinctive looks surely turn a lot of heads. While the exterior design has remained rather unchanged, the M6 continues to look modern, sophisticated, and sporty all at the same time. While the front lights and grille bear a certain resemblance to other models from the brand, the taillights represent the BMW M6’s oneness. The exhaust tips add a sporty and quirky touch to the design.
The BMW M6 is the lightest car in the segment weighing 4,255lbs. It is 192.8 inches long, 75.6 inches wide, and 54.1 inches tall. While its ground clearance is not known, its wheelbase of 112.2 inches is the shortest in the segment. When comparing the dimensions, the BMW M6 is the smallest in almost every category except width and comes out to be the most compact option in the competition.

In comparison, the Audi RS7 is the heaviest car in the segment, followed by the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG S weighing 4,475 and 4,355 lbs, respectively. The RS7 is the longest and tallest car in the segment, while the M6 Coupe is the widest. All three cars in the segment are similar in overall dimensions and proportions. Some salient exterior features include:
The BMW M6 has not been rated by the agencies, but its long list of safety features and the brand’s value reassure the buyer of the car’s capabilities. It makes use of a 4-wheel disc brake system that grants the car a halting distance of 108 feet. As standard, it comes equipped with features like brake assist, daytime running lights, and traction control. Some optional features include night vision, blind-spot monitor, and lane-departure warning system. Some other standout features include:
The M6's opulence and athleticism put it on top of its game and gives it a competitive chance to stand against its contemporaries. Its engine may not be the most powerful but adds the necessary amount of athleticism to the car. Its fuel efficiency is not the highest in the segment, however, its cabin-build and distinctive design cover-up for its flaws adequately. In addition, it is heavily equipped, and we see no reason why the BMW M6 may not be a viable and alluring choice.
