BMW M6 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1984–1989) — First Generation
The first-generation BMW M6 turned a grand touring coupe into a genuine performance machine, pairing everyday usability with hand-built motorsport engineering. Here is what to expect from its powertrain if you are considering one today.
Every BMW M6 engine in this generation is gasoline-fuelled and naturally aspirated, so power builds progressively with revs rather than arriving in a turbocharged surge. The drivetrain sends that power rearward, and the transmission is geared for long-legged cruising as much as for quick acceleration.
