There's no denying that the BMW M6 convertible is a fantastic car for enthusiasts. It looks great, with its gaping air intakes and big wheels. Its cabin is luxurious and comfortable. And the M car's performance is absolutely stupendous. Yes, the M6 convertible is the sort of car that gets my pulse racing and makes me want to take the long way home.
If the ridiculous level of acceleration doesn't tickle your fancy, the technology will. There's a cool color head-up display that shows a tachometer, shift warning lights, current gear, and speed -- although it's hard to see the display when you're wearing polarized sunglasses. Then there are 81 combinations of settings for the engine performance, suspension firmness, steering weight, and transmission shift speed. You can even store your favorite configuration with the M1 and M2 preset buttons. Finally, the dual-clutch automatic's unusual shifter apes the action of a manual transmission. You slide the illuminated shifter left and forward to select reverse, and must leave it in Drive when turning off the car.
$125,595 is a lot of money. For about the price of a BMW M6 convertible, you could attend the University of Michigan Medical School for four years or buy four houses (at the median price) in Detroit. A BMW M6 that costs almost much as an M.D. should at least be worth the scratch.
It is: the M6 has both absolute power (560 hp) and great usability,
thanks to a dual-clutch automatic transmission that plays nice around
town in its mellowest mode and rips shifts when you drive it hard. The
interior is beautifully appointed, the technology is top-notch, and the
curb appeal is stellar. Simply put, it feels like a (recent) BMW M car:
an otherwise heavy car that bends physics and delights passengers.
