About the 2013 BMW M6

3rd gen (F12/F13, 2012-2018 coupe/convertible), first U.S. coupe year and first full year of the redesigned M6 range.

BMW sells the M6 as a four-seat grand tourer that mixes very serious speed with real luxury-car comfort. The point is not a stripped, noisy track special; it is a fast coupe or convertible that can cross states in comfort, yet switch to much sharper responses through adjustable drive settings. Against rivals, the M6 leans on its huge turbo V8, usable cabin, and BMW M’s balance of muscle, control, and everyday usability.

BMW positioned the 2013 M6 as a four-seat luxury car with serious performance hardware, rather than a lightly upgraded 6 Series. Both body styles pair adjustable suspension and drive settings with heated Merino leather front seats, while a 10.2-inch navigation screen and iDrive system anchor the richer cabin.

What changed, by category

A 560-hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 replaces the previous V10. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and an Active M Differential that manages power at the rear wheels.

The third-generation M6 moves to a new platform with adaptive suspension dampers. The all-new coupe joins the redesigned convertible for the first full U.S. model year of the new range.

Styling

Tech

A 10.2-inch navigation display with BMW’s iDrive touchscreen and control system highlights the more modern interior. Steering-wheel M1 and M2 buttons store preferred drive settings.
