BMW M6 Cabrio LCI 2014-2018 Photos, engines & full specs

BMW introduced a mid-life cycle impulse for the M6 in 2014, which affected both the coupe and the convertible versions.

While the first generation of the 6-Series was available only as a coupe, the carmaker changed its mind and offered it in a convertible version starting with the second generation in 2003. It continued doing that even for the most powerful version, the M6. In 2011, BMW introduced the third generation of the 6-Series, with an M-version in 2012. The entire range was refreshed in 2014, including the M6's open-top version.

The refreshed styling included a redesigned front fascia. BMW introduced a slightly refreshed front bumper with more aggressive styling. Its massive grille featured a surrounding edge that channeled the air inside the dam for a better cooling effect. The refreshed version received new LED headlights as standard. From its sides, the carmaker introduced a new set of light-alloy wheels with a seven-spoke design.

Inside, the M6 featured a new steering wheel with paddle shifters for the dual-clutch gearbox. Also, on the center console, the carmaker placed the specific M gear-selector. As an additional reminder, the instrument panel sported the M-badge on the black dial background. The Merino leather-clad interior and the sport bucket seats matched the car's exclusive look. Like its predecessor, the 2014 M6 convertible featured a power-operated roof, which could have been retracted or installed at speeds up to 25 mph.

Unlike its coupe sibling, the M6 convertible didn't receive the Competition package. Its owners had only one engine choice, which provided 560 hp, 40 less than the most potent M6 Coupe.
