0 to 60 Miles Per Hour in Less Than Five Seconds: Used 2010 BMW M6 Review

It should go without saying the 2010 BMW M6 was truly an icon for its time. Why wouldn’t it be? Just take a look at some of the features it has to over: A monstrous V10 engine that can only be described as among the top engines out there; excellent braking and handling; the option to choose between convertible and coupe bodies; and the ability reach 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds – 4.5 seconds to be exact.

Right out the gate, the first thing a driver will notice about the 2010 incarnation of the M6 is its style. Not only does the design work out perfectly well on paper, housing in all of its high-tech features and powerful performance, but it even remains elegant and exciting in practice as well. Above all, the styling is definitely daring and different as it is edgy, though the true thrill of the M6 comes from behind the wheel.

With that in mind, there are two things that may cause a minor concerns with the 2010 BMW M6. One thing is the fact that the steering, while still excellent, does not quite offer quite the same level as the other vehicles coming out of BMW factories for the year. In addition, the single-clutch automated manual transmission that comes with the M6 is not quite up to the same standard considering how prominent dual-clutch is in this day and age. However, it is possible to swap it out for the six-speed manual in its stead, and the steering, though falling short, is hardly a deal-breaker for the vehicle.

For 2010, one problem that was prominent in previous models is no longer an issue thanks to BMW updating the iDrive system. Much like other vehicles released in 2010, the iDrive in the M6 now has a new interface that better displays the navigation system and the often used features. When it comes to flexibility and top-notch performance, it is difficult to beat the M6 for 2010.

The engine underneath the hood of the V10 is one that drivers will want to keep with them for a long time to come. If you’ve ever wanted to drive an F1, this is as close as you’re going to get in the meantime with a redline beyond 8,000 rpm. Still, there is plenty of midrange punch to go with it. There is an immediate response for throttle, and it sounds every bit like a race car as anything else.

Above all, the 2010 BMW M6 is certainly at the top of its leagues, and it is clear why this is the case; with all of these high performance features, it is hard to find another vehicle that could satisfy those who want to live on the edge.
