With a 305 cu in/5 liter displacement, the high-
speed V10 engine generates a maximum out-
put of 373 kW and a maximum torque of 
384 lb ft/520 Nm. Its spontaneous response 
characteristics yield a very broad usable engine 
speed range. At the maximum engine speed of 
8,250 rpm, the flow of fuel is interrupted in 
order to protect the engine. Due to the powerful 
engine dynamics, when the vehicle is at rest, 
the maximum engine speed is limited to 
7,000 rpm.

The emissions control system causes the 
V10 high-output engine to have slightly 
rougher running characteristics during its 
warm-up phase.
When the engine is cold, the exhaust system 
has a slightly metallic undertone due to the sys-
tem design.
For additional information on warming up, refer 
to Tachometer on page

 and Engine oil tem-

Your BMW M6 has a high-performance brake 
system with perforated compound brake rotors.
Due to the special structural features of these 
brake rotors, function noises occur during brak-
ing, but this has no effect on the performance, 
operating safety, and stability of the brakes.

In order to keep the brake system in optimum 
condition, it is useful to put them under load at 
regular intervals in accordance with the nature 
of the vehicle.

page

In your BMW M6, particular importance was 
attached to the direct connection of the engine 
to the drive system. Due to the torsionally rigid 
design of the drive train, the transmission of the 
torque is also audible, as is customary in a 
sports car. As a result, load shifts can be dis-
tinctly audible. This does not in any way impair 
the function or the service life of the compo-
nents.
