For those who want to combine
high style with an appreciation of nature, and earth-tremouring
performance when the mood grabs you, BMW brings you the M6
Convertible.
A simple name for one of the most complex pieces of machinery
on the planet.
5 litres, 10 cylinders, 373 kilowatts, 520 Newton metres, DSC,
EDC, ASE and… ummm, lets just say lots of money.
There are those who say the BMW 6 Series convertible is the
best-looking BMW of all.
The M6 adds some fancy bits, wings, big wheels… Hmmmm, the
usual stuff. Oh well. If you have it, you should
probably flaunt it.
And then there’s the interior. Multi-faceted, dual-toned
hide. Never say leather when referring to a car of this
stature. Hide.
And the instrumentation. You need analog of course, none of
the digital nonsense. When that rev counter needle hits
eight-three, you want to see it, you want to hear it, you
almost want to touch
it!
As for that V10
sound, oh yes! Especially on the down shifts, when the
paddle shift gearbox is at its best.
Wonderful as it is to relish the superb chassis in the
mountain passes, it really is a shame not stretch its legs on
a fast motorway.
With just a modicum of space you’d be up to 100 in 4,8
seconds. And if it weren’t for that nonsensical speed
limiter set to 250, 330 would be on the cards.
Aah, so what’s in store for today? A meeting with the CEO of
the World Bank? Well, why not take it on the yacht. The BMW
looks so good parked in front of the mooring, don’t you
think?
