Thanks to its extremely advanced aerodynamics and aggressive stock design, the BMW M6 has become quite a legend ever since it was first released on the market in 2012; it has also gained prestige in the tuning segment, with plenty of aftermarket projects to reveal its true identity.

Compared to other massive and prominent aero programs, this particular BMW M6 wrapped in Black Sapphire exterior colour is quite modest at the exterior. It only comes with just a bunch of styling details which further enhance its looks.

However, the wheels are completely new story, the model in question coming with the ADV.1 wheels. We are dealing here with the ADV05R Directional M.V2 Competition Spec wheels, with a five-spoke split and directional design, which increase the car`s aggressive wheels.

The wheels are extremely wide, measuring 21 x 9.5 and 21 x 12 front and rear, respectively, providing better grip and adding greater looks, thanks to the Brushed Aluminum with Gloss Clear finish.

As for the power under the hood, this Black Sapphire BMW M6 remains stock, packing a 4.4-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo pot with 560 horsepower and impressive 680 Nm of torque. Just like the BMW X6 M, the M6 also comes with a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive 4.0 seconds.

The performance is also achieved thanks to the seven-speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) system which sends the power to the rear wheels. The top speed is also set at 250 km/h. The model can be admired in the media gallery below provided by William Stern Photography. Enjoy!

The M6 Coupe from BMW is from the start an impressive and power model, yet in the hands of aftermarket specialists it can blow your mind with different power stages.

In the stock variant, this exquisite sports car packs a 4.4-liter V8 engine with 600 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, but thanks to the new power kit by German technicians from G-Power, it can now come with an enormous 800 horsepower and whopping 1.050 Nm of torque.

All these are possible to the hefty modifications added to the car`s power under the hood. And as usual, the tuner have also provided the prices tags for their new pieces. The mods include the ECU remapping (4,550 euros), electronic speed removal (668 euros), adding as well upgraded turbochargers for another 3,850 euros.

It is not very often we get to see three extraordinary sports cars riding head-to-head in a cool drive which highlights their exquisite characteristics, from head to toe. And what better way to portrait the exceptional driving capabilities and fine aerodynamics than turning against each other the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, Porsche Panamera Turbo and the Mercedes-AMG S63?

Autocar has put those three head-to-head thanks to their similarities in design, interior tweaks, advanced architecture and sheer performance under the hood. It can all be admired in the video below. Enjoy it, but not before we took a closer look at all three`s main highlights.

First off, the BMW M6 Gran Coupe comes fitted with the Competition Package which indicates improve boost from the start. We are looking here at a pure BMW product with an evolutionary design and advanced chassis, with a massive 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 under the hood, which produces no less than 600 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, being sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed DCT. That allows a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

On the other hand, Porsche`s new Panamera Turbo is well-known for its exceptional capabilities and innovations in the engine world. The sports car comes with an upgraded 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, with 550 horsepower, being sent to all wheels via a high-performance ZF eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, which is magnificent.

Last but not least, the Mercedes-AMG S63 is another monster when it comes to raw power. This one here features a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, churning out 577 horsepower and sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The car`s automatic transmission also sends the power to all wheels.

So, we have got the official performance figures, which place our beloved BMW M6 Gran Coupe third place. It remains to see if those official figures on paper have anything to do with what we will experience on the track. Enjoy the video!

There are tuners worldwide that can fulfill your wildest dreams in terms of styling customizations and if you own a BMW M6, then you`ve got big chances to win the lottery.

The owner of this gorgeous BMW M6 took his ride to Permaisuri tuner, which mainly deals with wheel customizations, but if you want some extra body parts to come along, that would be just perfect.

The technicians from Permaisuri are used to customize BMW products, and the flagship M6 is one of them. This one seen here is wearing the rare Textured Gold wrap, which is extremely exotic and shapes out its overall outstanding design.

Of course, there are many who wouldn’t agree with me and would go for much larger wheels, taken from Vorsteiner or Forgiato tuners, but I personally dig for the Vossen wheels.

They are sized 21-inch and refer to the tuner`s high-forged Vossen LC-104 model, and are finished in Polished Brushed. Adding the stock aggressive look, I might find it extremely attractive and eye-catching.

There weren’t any mods added under the hood, this lad here still packing the stock 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 engine, developing 552 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque. The topping is electronically limited at 250 km/h.

The BMW M6 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, but can go faster, 3.9 seconds, if installed with the Competition Package which raises the car`s power to a whopping 592 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque.

If you want your M6 look like this one below, just take a closer look at the gallery and see for yourself if the Textured Gold and the Vossen wheels fit your own styling and personality.

G-Power tuner is making slowly but surely its way up into the big aftermarket league with its impressive body styling and power kits fitted on different BMW models.

And last week they made a splashing job on the hardcore BMW X6 M, the model receiving the tuner`s impressive three-stage power kit, with power up to 750 horsepower.

The technicians are back with another outstanding project on an M6 Coupe, the top of the line model from the 6-Series coming with rather the same power output as the X6 M.

As expected, a power kit under the hood requires some preparations prior to the installment. This means that the BMW M6 Coupe has received new suspension and braking systems, 21-inch Hurricane RR-forged alloy wheels as well as titanium exhaust system with a 23kg weight loss, which improves the soundtrack. Also, the model can be had with the optional carbon tailpipes.

Once prepared, this M6 Coupe is ready for some action. The massive 4.4-liter twin-turbo engine comes with a stock 560 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, but thanks to the tuner`s Stage 1, this lad here is capable of churning out 650 horsepower and 830 Nm of torque. The Stage 1 comes with the Bi-Tronik 5 power module and ECU remapping.

The Stage 2 refers to a Bi-Tronik 5 V2 power module, meaning a total of 700 horsepower and 905 Nm of torque, while the third one increases the car`s power to 740 horsepower and whopping 950 Nm of torque. The Bi-Tronik 2 V3 power module helps the M6 Coupe reach 200 km/h in just 10.5 seconds, at a topping of 325 km/h.

Noelle Motors is one of the world leading tuning companies when it comes to power upgrades, the tuner being specialized in upgrading different BMW models. Call it if you like it, the second tuning division from the German based carmaker, after Alpina.

More than that, the shop`s chief is no other than the former head of engine department at BMW Specialist tuner Alpina, Karl-Otto Noelle, who personally supervised the tuning project carried out on this gorgeous M6 Convertible.

This BMW M6 Convertbile has received the tuner`s Stage 3 Kit, which consists of an engine software upgrade, custom exhaust downpipes with free-flow sport metallic catalytic converters and a few more with that.

The overall power is now standing at a whopping 766 horsepower and 882 Nm of torque, which is quite consisting than the stock 575 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, all squeezed-out from the same powerful 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 engine.

The BMW M6 Convertible has also received additional goodies, like coil-over suspension kit, mufflers, sport exhaust system or high-performance alloy wheels with suitable tires.

Unfortunately, the Stage 3 Kit is illegal in Germany so they might have to export the car in the US, but instead, you can also choose the less powerful Stage 1 or Stage 2 power kit, which are legal in the home country.

The entire work is completed by the same Akrapovic Evolution Full Titanium exhaust system, also found on other tuned M6s.

A complete body kit would not be that complete without standout wheels. Courtesy to the same Vorsteiner, the aftermarket specialists from EAS have also wrapped this BMW M6 with the Vorsteiner V-FF 103 Flow Forged wheels, sized 21×9.5 up front and 21×11 to the rear.
