Recent Changes

  • The 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show plays host to the debut of the 100-unit limited edition M6 Competition. The special variant tarts up the M6 with a host of unique upgrades from BMW Individual - namely, a new spring and damper set-up that lowers the front 12 mm and the back by 10 mm, as well as metallic Frozen Grey matte paint and Merino leather available in two schemes: Black with light-grey seams or in a double-tone Silverstone and Black with light-grey and black stitching. Each M6 Competition will come with a placard on the roof lining inscribed with the vehicle's own serial number. [1]
