Where "rebirth" of the BMW 6-series awakened deep emotions, the new BMW M6 is the embodiment of ultimate driving machine. The concept of combining two excellent cars in one model has already been successfully implemented by the BMW engineers in the M5.
Now it's a question of adapting this new design line for the BMW M6.

To give the M6 a more powerful voice and at the same time optimise the response behaviour and gas throughput, the new fully stainless steel rear silencer system "Sports Trim" has been adapted accordingly for the M6.

The next step facing the engineers was to improve the driving dynamics. Thanks to a suspension spring kit which lowers the M6 by around 25 mm and hence lowers the centre of gravity - above all in conjunction with the front axle strut brace of aluminium and the special antiroll bar kit - perceptibly higher cornering speeds are possible.

Furthermore the M6 is fitted with racing rims and alloy wheels in various designs and sizes. As one-piece monoblock variants, Type III and Type IV wheels are available in sizes 8.5J x 19" and 9.5J x 19". Even more exclusive are the racing rims Type III and Type IV, which have been tested in 19" through 20" and in the top version even up to size 9.0J or 10.0J x 21".

The absolute highlight in the wheel range is the new "Forged Wheel". This alloy forged wheel with bicolour finish - i.e. partly polished, partly painted surface - achieves what appears contradictory in principle:
Reduction in weight with simultaneously maximum wheel diameters and widths. Our engineers and designers achieve this masterpiece with the "Forged Wheel", the design of which remains totally unique. The "Forged Wheel" is available for the BMW M6 in sizes 9.0J x 20" and 10.0J x 20" and is fitted with tyres sizes 245/35 R 20 on the front and 285/30 R 20 on the rear.The weight of the front wheel is just approx. 10 kg and the rear wheel 10.8 kg.

The high quality aerodynamic concept of the ACS5 Sport, apart from the rear roof spoiler, was also adapted for the ACS6 Sport. It consists of carbon front flippers which as an option can be linked to the front spoiler via an aluminium strut braces. The front is finished with the new chrome front grille which gives the BMW M6 a retro look and at the same time provides the high air requirements of the BMW V10 power plant.

The vehicle rear is enhanced with the one-piece rear spoiler and a carbon rear diffusor integrated into the rear. In combination, all aerodynamic aids ensure increased downforce on the BMW M6 to give a perceptibly more stable vehicle.

For the inside, a carbon interior is available in titanium "Exclusive", a 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel or velours foot mats, together with the characteristic aluminium pedals and foot rests or the handbrake handle.

The new development of an aluminium cover for the controller of the BMW"i-Drive system" in the style of the Type IV wheel provides the finishing touch.

That looks awesome. Like the M6 needed to be tuned. images/smilies/w00t.gif

Hmm, don't like the rims...

jayjaya29 · January 25th, 2006, 8:01 PM

A tuned M6 that gets it right. Those rims give the car an agressive stance.

flamingice · January 26th, 2006, 3:31 AM

I like it. Although the bootlid spoiler in that last pic looks a bit... overdone. But much better looking than all the other tuned 6 series' that I've seen.

Dins · January 26th, 2006, 3:42 AM

the exhaust tips still stick out too much, but other than that it's alright

bartboy9891 · January 26th, 2006, 3:44 AM

like the M5 version, this AC looks too pointy up front. but then those rims! i thought the stock M6 ones were erotic...

Ohhh.....Oh man.

So that's the feeling Clarkson gets when he says "Silicon Carbide".

flamingice · January 26th, 2006, 5:06 AM

Here's another picture, but it has different rims. I actually like these ones better.

THAT IS SEXY!

If only it didn't cost 5 times more then a regular, and already heavily overpriced, M6.

IVIaster · January 26th, 2006, 12:02 PM

How can you not like the wheels? Want one, want one bad.
