What is BMW M6? This luxury coupe class Gran Turismo. Powerful, fast, comfortable and stylish. But «Emka» is not a sports car and it should be understood.
ICE
All the same S63TU, 4.4-liter, V8, two turbines located in the collapse of the block. 575 hp and 680 Nm. Good traction and smooth throughout the rev range, which is very convenient in terms of everyday driving. The potential for a large tuning. A few years ago has finally learned how to fully programmed engine control unit and this gave dividends. Installing the full exhaust system, the intake system and the program of «Evotek» allowed to increase power to 800 hp and torque to nearly 1000 nm. And this is a completely different story.
Exhaust system
In stock — a total failure. The large German troika (RS7, CLS63, M6) at BMW's plant is the weakest sound. Part of the situation spoil the so-called cross-Bank exhaust manifold, but they can be forgiven for it is the power and the moment that compensate the damaged sound. Full exhaust system helps partially, but still the sound 4.
PPC
In older versions of BMW /// M (M5 and M6) available Preselektivnaya robotised gearbox VCT. She is gorgeous. Very comfortable in a city mode, and in the sport mode switch very quickly. Definitely faster than Audi RS and Mercedes AMG, but that those fractions of a second, which is hardly noticeable ordinary man in the street. But the 1,000 hp as the automatic transmission Audi RS7 robot from BMW does not hold. Among the factory version of the best PPC, but tuning it must be finished.
Controllability
Again, the best in class, sharper, more exciting. But we must understand that the laws of physics are the vehicle weight 1.9 ton nobody nothing is canceled. Even wizards and sorcerers ///. The car with the system shut down willingly goes sideways in a fairly rulitsya predictable. But it's not a sports car. And to judge him by the standards of sports car and can not be wrong.
brake system
There are two versions — steel and ceramics. For the city and drain the engine steel brakes really enough. 6 pistons and perforation, coupled with a solid diameter rotors give the effect. On the track, it was a revelation lost ceramics, which is not surprising. Ceramic does not lose efficiency on lots of braking, then the steel can withstand 3–5 solid braking, and then asks respite. As before, the availability of funds, I would recommend ordering ceramics. On ceramic brakes M6 brakes in all modes in an adult.
Multimedia
He said repeatedly that this issue find the BMW ahead of the rest. I do not see the objective reason to change its opinion.
And everything else look at the video. Enjoy watching!
