2006 BMW M6 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 BMW M6 are thrilled with its powerful performance and unique styling, often likening it to a supercar. The V10 engine and smooth handling are particularly favored, along with the luxurious interior and advanced sound systems. However, some drivers expressed concerns about comfort, build quality, and high ownership costs, including fuel economy. Issues like cramped cargo space and interior features not meeting expectations were also noted."
This is the best car I have ever owned--and I have had some nice ones, including other BMW's. I don't even care that it cost over $100K new-- this is truly a world-class ride. It is supremely quiet, comfortable, mild-mannered at cruising speeds and very well-appointed. However, when you put your right foot down, this very civilized machine becomes an absolute rocket! It accelerates so effortlessly that you will think the speedometer is reading in kph instead of mph. Only when you notice that every other car on the road has suddenly become oncoming traffic do you grasp how awesomely fast this machine is. It will easily top 200 mph (once the idiotic 155 mph governor is disabled) and do it with utter aplomb. Fortunately, the massive brakes and excellent Michelin tires are up to the task of handling all that energy when it comes time to change speed and/or direction. I really like the SMG paddle shift transmission, although it does take some getting used to. There are not enough superlatives to describe what driving this car is like. Even the sound system is fantastic. I absolutely love it. BMW (and everyone else) will have to create something unimaginably spectacular to get me to even consider trading it. Did I mention it is beautiful too?
April 25, 2012Legendary machine that CANT be reproduced EVER AGAIN. Long live the V10
May 6, 2023This car is awesome! There is so much poer even before you hit the sport button. Powerful and handles like a dream. The styling both inside and out are very unique and pleasurable to the eye. Get looks wherever I go. Wish I had an Audobahn we could drive on here in the states!

February 23, 2010I reviewed this M6 before. I actually had to choose between this beemer and the CLS I have now. Considering that this is an "M" car and it's way alot more cheaper than the top-of-the-range CLS AMG, I was at the brim of considering this but somehow my mind just slit off. This was basically because, it had a carbon fibre roof which was in grey and i wanted it in white. So it wouldn't have looked nice. It wasn't as comfortable as the Mercedes and the interior is appaling. The build quality is not to say bad but just not as good as the Merc either. The drink holder on the passenger side won't close and that can be very annoying. However, the best part of this car is the SMG-II 7-speed gearbox. I just love it very much. It's soo much more of a sport's car in the driving abilities but the torque is not as strong as the Merc niether is it's power but the Merc is HEAVIER and that means a bad fuel consumption with it's 6.2 litre. But somehow I just can't buy the M6 just for it's engine and overall performance. The CLS has 4 doors and this has only 2. The boot wont fit 2 golf sets with another 2 boston bags while the CLS would and the beauty of the CLS is superb!
January 6, 2008I love all the tech in this car. It is fun to drive all the time. Draws attention every where I drive. The seats and gauges are setup very well. The engine and SMG transmission make this car what it is. Awesome!!.
August 5, 2014It boasts a V10 engine so it is naturally a fast vehicle. It's a BMW so you can expect great quality. Great brakes to go with the great acceleration. Interior is very nice as well as the Harmon Kardon Sound system with the HD radio.
December 20, 2007This thing is a simple Head Turner. As fast as a supercar at the fraction of the price. Was expensive new but can get into a used one for real cheap (thanks a lot BMW for making too many.) One of the best looking soft top convertibles I have ever seen
August 8, 2011Performance –A tad slow at low ends, but great once yo hit 50... Build Quality – really neat! Full leather, high end navy and on screen display (even the GPS!!) Appearance – Luxurious, sporty and classy Cost of Ownership – quite high, the V10 is quite thirsty ! Major issue is the range, the gas tank allows only +/- 250 km...
