The M6 of the BMW`s limited Horse Edition is said to aim at the luxury buyers from China, as the Asian country has become the world`s widest car market, with a lot of potential customers for BMW.

The vice president of marketing at BMW in China, mister Clyde Zhu, stated in an interview in Beijing that the M versions are part of the Horse Edition series that BMW will be starting to launch in China this year.

This selling strategy also includes the company`s models the 3- and the 7-Series for China, for which there were no details revealed so far.

There were some difficulties to be challenged with the slow auto market growth for the luxury car manufacturers, as President of China, Xi Jinpingh, set some limitations on lavish spending in the past, and declared an austerity budget.

Now, along with the rise for the luxury market to start last year, the luxury car manufacturer has set its footsteps in China, being ready to sell the M6.

As a reminder, the M6-Series is the highest priced-car in China that comes with a V8-engine and hits the 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.1 seconds.

The company is offering the M6-Series at the price of 2.77 million yuan ($458,000) each, along with other 30 M5 models costing 1.98 million a pieces.

It is an unusual move for BMW, considering that americans have never been such big fans of the “stick”. But who knows, maybe I am wrong and it will work out.

So for anyone living in the US that will buy a 2014 BMW M6, come June you will have the option of getting yours with a manual gear box, cost free. And the option is available for the convertible, coupe and gran coupe versions. As an added bonus, the BMW M6 will also be sporting the M carbon ceramic brakes.

The manual gear box will offer you a featured software that will match the engine speed automatically when you shift down. But that’s just as long as you don’t use the Sport+ mode, that will give the driver some extra action. Manually matching the speed on down shifts might be quite fun for true fans. For all others, you also have the Efficient and Sport modes.

All in all, I’d say this is a good thing… but I always preferred manual, so we’ll just wait and see what happens.
