BMW enhances the M6 Competition Package
From this July, buyers of the BMW M6 Coupé, Gran Coupé and Convertible will be able to order an upgraded Competition Package for their cars.
The modifications begin with the 4.4 litre turbocharged V8 engine. A retune means power is up from the regular 552 bhp (412 kW / 560 PS) to 591 bhp (441 kW / 600 PS), while peak torque rises by 20 Nm (15 lb/ft) to 700 Nm (516 lb/ft).

Performance isn't dramatically improved compared to the regular M6 models, though. For example, a Competition Package-equipped M6 Gran Coupé can complete the benchmark 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint in 3.9 seconds instead of the usual 4.2 seconds.
What's more, top speed remains electronically-limited to 155 mph (250 km/h) unless the optional M Driver's Package is specified too. Doing so lifts that figure to a much stronger 189 mph (305 km/h).

Complementing the extra output are some chassis tweaks. As well as a firmer suspension set-up, the steering is more direct and the rear active differential has been altered to deliver better traction.
Finishing touches are provided by a set of two-tone 20” alloy wheels and some black chrome exhaust tailpipes.
