LA 2006: BMW brings M6 to North America for $96,795

The BMW M6 made its North American debut today at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. It has been more than 15 years since the last M6 was available here. Most notably, the company said the car will arrive in U.S. showrooms this spring with an MSRP of $96,795 including destination and handling. Like the original, the all-new M6 features a race-inspired drivetrain, which it shares with its M5 Sedan stable mate. With a 500 horsepower V10 engine and seven-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG), the new M6 is capable of extraordinary performance - 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. It offers an unparalleled capability for a driver-tailored driving experience and the first use of a carbon fiber roof in a production vehicle, all wrapped within the stylish lines of the BMW 6 Series.
