This week a lot of conversation has centered around the BMW M5 and M6. That's because there's been a ramp up of chatter surrounding the rumored Competition Package.
Until the fat lady sings, this is all merely speculation.
However, there has been a rather serious influx of 550 horspower plus sedans so BMW has to do what it can to further differentiate its offerings in the market. Thus, the newfound option, the Competition Package.
While BMW has offered a Competition Pack on previous M3s, the reality is the brand has never really been a fan of providing horsepower bumps in form of packages.
If this does, in fact, happen here's what you can expect according to what we're hearing:
- Power bump of approximately 15 hp, probably a few torques too
- Competition Pack-specific suspension
- New M steering wheel
- New 20-inch wheels, probably lightweight
- New sport exhaust system with black chrome tips
- Increased top speed
The BIG news now is that this package will find its way into the M6 lineup, which now includes the coupe, convertible and Gran Coupe.
Once it's official, we'll be sure to make sure you're the first to know.
