Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2015 BMW M6
3rd generation M6 (F12/F13), pre-refresh year; Coupe and Convertible launched for 2013, and the facelift arrived for 2016.
BMW positions the M6 as the top-performance version of the 6 Series coupe and convertible. Its core appeal is combining very high straight-line speed and sharp handling with a richly finished cabin and long-distance comfort. In plain terms, this is a grand-touring performance car: faster and more focused than a regular 6 Series, but still meant to feel special on everyday drives, highway trips, and open-road cruising.
BMW positioned the 2015 M6 as the top-performance 6 Series, with coupe and convertible versions built around the same 560-hp twin-turbo V8. Its standout equipment includes adjustable suspension and driving settings, a 10.2-inch navigation screen, heated leather front seats, a rearview camera, and front and rear parking sensors.
