Inspite of its larger exterior dimensions , the M6 Coupe weighs in 1,850 kg (4,078lbs) and the Convertible, 1,980kg (4,365 pounds) as the roof is made from carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) for the coupe, whereas glass-fibre composite material SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) is used for the convertible The doors and bonnet of both models are made from aluminium, and the front side panels from thermoplastic. Owing to these, the power-to-weight ratio of the Coupe is 7.3lb/hp and 7.7lb/hp for the Convertible
Powered by a 4.4-liter V8 engine with two twin-scroll turbochargers, it peaks 560 hp (412kW) between 5,750 and 7,000 rpm, and a torque of 680Nm (502lb-ft) between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm. This S63Tü engine is mated to a standard 7-speed M-Double Clutch Transmission (M-DCT) and BMW's Active M Differential which optimizes power transfer between the rear wheels and as such runs 0-100km/h (62mph) in 4.2 seconds for the M6 Coupe and 4.2 seconds for the Convertible with their top speed limited to 155 mph (250 km/h), or 189mph (305km/h) with the extra M Driver's package.
