M to the Sixth Power
BMW's 6 Series coupe gets the M treatment with a 500-hp V10 and other go-fast upgrades.
Highs
- Nimble handling, especially for so large and heavy a vehicle
- Quick acceleration
Lows
- Fuel economy warrants a $3,000 gas-guzzler tax
- Only a coupe version is offered
- All those selectable modes add unnecessary complexity to what should just be a flat-out performance car
- Price
- iDrive control system confusing and distracting to use
- Virtually useless backseat
What's New
- First use of a carbon-fiber roof in a production vehicle
- 279 combinations of settings for acceleration, shifting, suspension and stability control
- Two-door alternative to the M5
