BMW said its highly anticipated, 500-horsepower 2007 M6 convertible will arrive in the United States this fall with a sticker price of $105,095, including shipping charges.
The price includes an exclusive one-day M driver training course at the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The 2+2 M6 is powered by a 5.0-liter V10 engine with a redline in excess of 8000 rpm. The V10 is linked to a standard seven-speed sequential M gearbox with Drivelogic, which provides six shift modes for manual and five for the automatic mode. BMW said the M6 convertible goes from zero to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
Because the driver may not need all of the power of the V10 in all situations, the M6 convertible has a P400 setting that is automatically activated when the engine is first started and offers 400 hp. To call up the full 500 horses, the driver punches the power button. A P500 sport mode is also available for what BMW describes as “more dynamic response.”
The soft top on the M6 convertible is made up of three layers and can be raised or lowered while the car is traveling up to 20 mph. The top can be ordered in black or gray. The cabin features include an optional head-up display that offers the choice of a special M display that includes road speed, transmission gear and an engine speed graphic.
The interior can be accessorized with optional carbon-fiber trim and full leather. Special M exterior colors include Indianapolis red and Sepang bronze.
