BMW M6 FAQs

• Why did BMW stop making the M6?

  Much like the 6 Series, the M6 range was also phased out a few years ago. BMW discontinued the 6 Series during the 2019 model year, instead opting to replace it with the 8 Series due to its greater popularity among new car buyers. With that said, the 6 Series and M6 both had a solid production run, loved by its buyers, and forever a niche treasure. With the retirement of the M6 came its replacement in the M8, a worthy successor.

• Is the BMW M6 rare?

  On the global market, the BMW M6 is already a rare gem, let alone within the Australian new car market, this unit is as hard to find as a needle in a haystack! This top-end luxury car was only sold in limited quantity across Australia, and now that it is no longer in production, good luck trying to hunt one down if that's what you had in mind. If you are looking for an able replacement, however, turn your attention to the M8, which is grand in every respect.

• Is the BMW M6 manual?

  In foreign markets there were BMW M6s produced with a manual drivetrain, however, by and large the M6 was underpinned by an automatic steptronic transmission. The steptronic transmission has long been a part of the BMW pedigree, including a fully automatic drive mode, as well as a manual or sport drive mode offering higher engine revving before shifts, and a manual shift mode for individual gear shifts.
