End of a Legend

For years, the power plant in the M6 Coupe and Convertible was a benchmark – it delivered quantities of sheer power and performance previously unseen in “street” vehicles, and snatched the prestigious Engine of the Year Award for three years running in the categories for engines over 4-liters.

In collaboration with this incredible engine, the M Engineers mastered the design principles of chassis tech and lightweight construction to produce vehicles that were as confident on the race track as they were on the road. The BMW M6 Coupe and Convertible received acknowledgement worldwide for racing enthusiasts everywhere. The United States was the number one purchaser of these fantastic vehicles, with Germany and Britain to follow.

With the departure of these two fascinating and exceptional athletes and the already-discontinued fourth-generation BMW M5, production will now also cease for the unique V10 high-rev engine," BMW said in a statement. Sad news for us lovers of the M6, but you can be certain BMW M has more than a few high-performance projects coming down the pike, with the 1-Series M to start it all off.
