Starting off

On slopes

The starting assistant enables you to start off
conveniently on slopes. The handbrake is not
required for this purpose.

Hold the vehicle with the brake.

Release the brake and begin to drive imme-
diately.

After releasing the brake, begin to drive
immediately; otherwise, the starting

assistant no longer holds the vehicle after
approx. 2 seconds and your vehicle will start to
roll backward.

Start off quickly on slopes. Do not hold
the vehicle on a hill by pressing the accel-

erator, but apply the footbrake or handbrake
instead. Otherwise overheating and heavy wear
can result in the area of the Sequential Manual
Transmission.

To protect the clutch of the Sequential Manual
Transmission from overheating, the starting-off

behavior is changed under heavy loading, e.g. a
rapid succession of starts on slopes. This can
be noticed from shaking during starting off.

On a slippery surface

Select the "P 400" program of M Engine
Dynamic Control, refer to page

Gently press accelerator pedal to prevent
wheels from spinning when starting off.

Clutch protection with manual

transmission

Be sure to avoid riding the clutch for longer peri-
ods.
Your BMW M6 is equipped with an overload
protection for the clutch. Riding the clutch for
longer periods is detected and the engine man-
agement system limits the engine speed to pro-
tect the clutch. This can result in the vehicle fail-
ing to accelerate when the clutch pedal is
partially depressed.

EDC Electronic Damping

Control

The concept

If the influencing variables such as road surface
quality or operating conditions such as steer-
ing, braking etc. change, the damping automat-
ically adjusts to the new conditions within a
fraction of a second.
You can choose from three programs.

"Comfort" program

Select the "Comfort" program if you want com-
fort-oriented coordination of shock absorbers
and steering.

"Normal" program

The "Normal" program offers control that is bal-
anced between comfort and sportiness.
