BMW M6 2016 Video Review

Peter Anderson road tests and reviews the manual version of the top-spec M2, with specs, fuel consumption and verdict. 

In the beginning, which for our purposes is around 1978, there was the M1. Some German engineers made a supercar, and it was good. After 40 years of raining mostly excellent cars upon the earth, the BMW tweakers at the M haus made a 1 Series coupe worthy of an M badge. And it was also good.

Except they couldn't call it M1, because the internet would go into meltdown and some owners of the classic original would be noisily disappointed as well (the “1 Series M” was the inelegant solution). So, a few years later, the 1 Series coupe became the 2 Series, and with this, too, came an M version, uncontroversially called the M2. The internet did go into meltdown, but in a good way, and it became one of the most hotly-anticipated cars of 2016.
