“The M6 is a rocket. And it's subtle. It doesn't scream, "Look at me!" At least not until it blows away a Corvette or "Crotch Rocket" on the highway.”
2017 BMW M6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2017 BMW M6
2nd-generation M6 (2013-2018 U.S.), after the 2016 refresh; 2017 is a late-cycle year.
BMW positions the M6 as a luxury grand-touring performance car with supercar-grade power, rich cabin materials, and everyday comfort. BMW’s M6 messaging centers on blending serious V8 speed with a special-feeling interior and unmistakable M styling. Its core appeal is effortless pace on long drives and a sense of occasion every time it starts up, rather than a stripped-down track-only focus.
BMW positioned the M6 as a large luxury performance car rather than a stripped-down sports model. Coupe and Convertible versions pair a 560-hp twin-turbo V8 with adaptive suspension, Merino leather, navigation, LED headlights, and Harman Kardon audio.
