The M division's new flagship.
We have been cruising at exactly 120 kilometers per hour (75 mph) when we finally pass under an electronic overhead sign that displays the readout we've been waiting for: a circle with slashes through it. At virtually the same moment, the speed-limit readout on the head-up display also gives the go-ahead, and we floor it. The car gathers speed quickly but with little drama, and we settle in at a comfortable 240 km/h (149 mph), although there is more available. This seems like enough given the presence of slower traffic, and, indeed, every time someone pulls into the far-left lane to pass, we give the big carbon-ceramic discs a workout but then quickly regain our pace. Driving on an unrestricted-speed autobahn is an intense experience for the driver, but the two passengers seem unfazed. This is exactly the situation for which the BMW M6 Gran Coupe was born: high-performance driving while carrying two (or three) passengers in relative comfort.
