BMW M6 gets new Competition Package

A new and more potent Competition Package (BMW M GmbH) for BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible will be arriving in July this year to replace the existing package.  

The new Competition Package has been developed with a keen eye on enhancing driving dynamics. It includes a power boost for the 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology.

A new personal best for the BMW M6 Coupe: 0 to 200 km/h in 11.8 seconds. The three model variants impress with outstanding performance when fitted with the new optional Competition Package. For example, the sprint from 0 to 100km/h is all over in 3.9 seconds in the BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Gran Coupe or 4.0 seconds in the BMW M6 Convertible.

Furthermore, the BMW M6 Coupe requires just 11.8 seconds to power from 0 to 200 km/h, making it 0.6 seconds faster to the mark than with the previous version of the Competition Package.  

The Competition Package includes various measures designed to appreciably enrich the cars' handling. Here the same principle applies as in the development of all BMW M cars: the chassis technology is tuned precisely to the performance characteristics of the powertrain. The result is maximum performance combined with assured and precisely controllable responses at all times - even when pushing the dynamic envelope. To this end, the springs, dampers and anti-roll bars all get firmer tuning.  

The Active M Differential on the final drive works with its own control unit to further improve traction, allowing the driver to accelerate even more dynamically out of tight corners. 

The steering with M-specific Servotronic function has more direct mapping while the M Dynamic Mode of the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system is focused even more intently on delivering sporty handling.

The BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible with Competition Package will be available from July 2015.
