BMW M6 Convertible Starting MSRP: $104,900 Five-year cost of ownership: $150,565 The M6 Convertible is the last of three pricey, high-performance, low-volume BMWs to make the list. Fuel cost is its most conspicuous downfall. At $18,313 over five years, the M6 Convertible ties with its M6 Coupe twin for the second-worst fuel efficiency on the list, eclipsed only by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. All that fuel returns low 0-60 mph times: 5.0 seconds for the convertible and 4.6 seconds for the coupe.
BMW is known for building cars and SUVs that combine everyday practicality with enhanced performance. Its series of M-badged high-performance variants, in particular, are often regarded as some of the best performance cars in the world. It therefore stands to reason that the BMW M6, as the company's flagship performance coupe (and convertible) is something truly special.
Though there have been two generations of the M6, it is the more recent one that people are most familiar with. Though not a true sports car, the M6, thanks to its 500-horsepower V10 engine, versatile suspension and powerful brakes, can challenge the world's best on just about any road. At the same time, it offers all the comfort and luxury one would expect from BMW's premier coupe and convertible.
Current BMW M6
The BMW M6 is available in coupe and convertible body styles. Both versions employ a 5.0-liter V10 engine that produces 500 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. Transmission choices are a standard seven-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG) or a traditional six-speed manual. Compared to the M5 sedan, the M6 offers greater performance due to a slightly lighter curb weight and a lower center of gravity.
