2013 BMW M6 On Sale In Australia

BMW's got a big new pair in the Australian market, with the launch this week of the 2013 M6 Coupe and Convertible performance flagships. 

The duo kicks off with the $292,500 M6 Coupe, while top-down cruising in the M6 Convertible will take $308,500 off your hands.

The M6 twins also carry a significant premium over the existing 650i two-doors, with the M models entering at around $60,000 above both bodystyles.

Packing BMW's brawling twin-turbo 4.4 litre V8 engine, both cars deliver a huge 412kW of power and 680Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheels through the familiar seven-speed M-DCT dual-clutch auto. 

BMW promises a sprint to 100km/h in 4.2 seconds if you're steering the Coupe. If you're in the Convertible, you'll get there in 4.3 seconds - the same as the four-door M5 sedan.

Fuel consumption is listed at 9.9 l/100km for the Coupe, while the slightly heftier Convertible returns 10.3 l/100km.

On the styling front, the new M6ers add the usual M-specific bits, including a gaping maw, quad exhaust tips, and unique guard vents.

As with the previous E63 M6 coupe, the F12 also features a lightweight carbon fibre roof panel.
