Expect more news after Frankfurt, but this is what has been released so far:

"BMW M6 Competition Limited Edition

Supreme Performance, exclusive look

The BMW M6 Competition Limited Edition is being presented for the first time at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The BMW M6 Competition Limited Edition combines the supreme dynamics of a high-performance sports car and the exclusive features of BMW Individual to form a truly fascinating symbiosis. Appropriate modifications of the suspension further enhance the profile of this unique Coupé designed from the start for maximum performance.

New set-up of the springs, dampers and anti-roll bars, together with the body lowered by 12 millimetres/0.47" at the front and 10 millimetres/0.39" at the rear, together with a new combination of wheels and tyres, optimise both lateral and longitudinal dynamics to a standard never seen before. The suspension control systems, the control unit masterminding the EDC Electronic Damper Control, wheel track and camber as well as the map controlling the variable M differential lock are all geared precisely to these special modifications of the suspension.

The colour concept featured both outside and within the interior highlights the unique character of this outstanding two-door in a most stylish manner, emphasising the motorsport technology and uncompromising premium quality of the car. BMW Individual matt paintwork in Frozen Grey metallic accentuates the powerful and, at the same time, exclusive presence of this unique Coupé.

The BMW M6 Competition Limited Edition is being built in a production run of just 100 units. The exclusivity of this very special model is further symbolised by a special placard on the roof lining bearing each car's serial number as a unique achievement in automotive technology.

The interior of the BMW M6 Competition Limited Edition is available in two colour variants. BMW Individual all-leather upholstery in Merino comes either in Black with light-grey contrasted seams or in twin-tone Silverstone/Black with light-grey and black seams forming a special contrast.

Merino leather comes on the seats, the headrests and side panels at the rear, the instrument panel, the trim cover on the driver's side, the glove box, the armrest, the handbrake lever gaiter, as well as the door and side panels. The door closing handles, in turn, are finished in black nappa leather.

On the twin-tone model the seat centre sections as well as parts of the door and side panels as well as the door closing handles come in black, all further elements are in Silverstone. On both versions footmats with a surrounding bend in Silverstone Merino leather as well as door cutout trim proudly bearing the "M6 Competition" model designation add the final touch to the exclusive ambience of the car."


For the BMW M6: Changed suspension which will provide even more momentum, and continuing with revised springs, dampers and stabilizers. The ride has also been lowered by 10 mm upfront and 12mm at the rear.

Is this coming to the US for '10? My lease is up soon so I have been trying to get an Individual M5. I have the brochure and all but I was not able to get anywhere with it. :mad: I hope the M5 Competition Edition arrives to the US. I want another M5, but I need something different. This would be perfect.

Gustav, do you have any pictures of the M5 Competition vehicle?
 
#12 ·
That is nice I hope it makes it to America which I doubt!!!!!!!!!
 
#20 ·
Yes, and the piping on the edges of the floor mats is also a nice touch.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
#21 ·
I wonder if there will be any other colors or stronger engine with the package??? This color is very nice.....
 
#22 ·
I think it's possible for other colors.. i'm assuming there will be.

I do not think they will offer a stronger engine.. that is very unlikely.

I'm basing this info on the M3's "individual" vehicles that I believe are coming to the US? I really hope the M5 Competition comes to the US.

@Gustav

are you sure there is a competition packet for the m5. As on www.bmw.de you woundt find on the m5 pricing valid from september 09 a competition packet.

On the price list for the m6 you find it.

So i really wonder if the competition packet with different hood, springs tyres is just available for the m6, and the m5 has just different inside colours and stitching..

Thanks for the video Gustav, nice looking cars, but i suspect the "COMPETITION models" are more to do with aethetics (I don't want my m3 to be a luxury car competition or whatever just a true out n out no holds barred racer like the e30 //m3 n even the 2002 turbo or the e12 m535 motorsports - e34//m5 or even the //m1) than anything else which coming from BMW is a really truly big dissapointment when companies like Porsche or lexus Audi would atleast make the models faster, lighter and a little sharper or even with the same power which would make a difference to overall handling plus considering some buyers of mpowered machine will go out of their way to seek a thoroughbred no frills pure unadultrated road going missile, this group will be lost to other more focused products soon and God forbid BMW will be seen in the same light Mercedes was seen in the 70's n 80's as heavy well built fast luxury cars with no little feel n focus and not serious sporting coupe or super saloons. It for me is a sad day looking at the vid thinking n knowing that we won't see the likes of cars that were the "reason d etre" of the first original motorsport engineers when they slapped the engine of an //m1 into the e28 to see what it will go n handle like or even before with the trbo charging of the 2002 that gave real white knuckle ride n made men of boys. I guess the marketing boys will look after the city boys n girls so the can talk about the electro nanny in their cars and record on their laptops their 0-60sec times to brag to there mates at work or at a bar hmmnnnn and me i will take my money elsewhere really soon.
