2014 BMW M6 Performance
The 2014 M6 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8, the most powerful engine ever outfitted in a BMW. That, paired with a high-torque seven-speed M-Double Clutch means you can expect an impressive 560 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque.
2014 BMW M6 Efficiency
According to the EPA, both the M6 coupe and convertible are estimated to get 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. Also included is a stop-start engine function to conserve fuel at stoplights.
2014 BMW M6 Interior
The interior of the 2014 M6 leaves nothing to be desired. You’ll notice the rich materials and craftsmanship in every detail. This car has perfected the marriage of luxury experience and high performance elements.
The Merino leather that is an upgrade in other BMW models comes standard in the M6, and the seats adjust in every direction you can imagine, including lumbar and thigh support. There’s very little room in the backseat, but who buys an M6 for space in the back?
The instrumentation is clean and easy to navigate, and BMW’s iDrive electronics interface is straightforward.
