The 2016 BMW M6 received subtle exterior upgrades in addition to the regular 6 Series updates.

An integrated diffuser has found its way at the rear along two sets of dual tailpipes, below an M6 logo on the rear decklid.

2016 BMW M6 Performance
The “M” in “BMW M” is supposed to stand for “motorsport,” but we think it stands for “more.” The 2016 BMW M6 comes with a sport-tuned chassis and a 4.4-liter V8 that cranks out 560 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque, complete with your choice of a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or a six-speed manual, which automatically matches revs on downshifts. Top speed is 160 mph and 0 to 60 mph can be done in a mere 3.7 seconds.

2016 BMW M6 Efficiency
The 2016 BMW M6 is a performance version of an already sporty car, so efficiency is expectedly not the priority. Still, it gets about 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway, which is impressive for a 4.4-liter V8!
