2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe Review by WhatCar?

WhatCar, a UK publication, gives their own review of the all-new 2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe. They focus on the driving impressions and how its really like to drive this vehicle. Surprisingly, they discover that its weight is not something that the drivers should worry about. Here is an excerpt of their review:

What’s the 2013 BMW M6 Gran Coupe like to drive?
Put your foot down and the M6 accelerates with the ferocity you’d expect, and there’s barely any let-up – even when you reach autobahn speeds.

You only need the smallest of gaps to carry out overtaking manoeuvres, then, but the straight-line performance is only part of the story.

The M6 features bespoke alloy suspension and a trick limited-slip differential, plus BMW has swapped the regular Gran Coupe’s electro-mechanical steering for a hydraulic set-up in an effort to improve feedback.

Sure enough, the M6 Gran Coupe feels very agile for a car that weighs the best part of two tonnes, but its size can be an issue on back roads and it’s not as involving as it should be because the steering still feels quite remote.

The standard twin-clutch gearbox is harder to fault, letting you switch between smooth automatic shifts and ferociously fast manual ones at the touch of a button.

What’s more, the M6 Gran Coupe is a surprisingly comfortable cruiser when you put the adjustable suspension in its softest setting.

The engine sounds powerful when you rev it yet is virtually silent on the motorway, while wind noise is also well suppressed. However, the big tyres do generate a fair amount of road noise.
