Powertrain Options and Availability
BMW's 6-Series comes with a 325-horsepower 4.4-liter V8 engine and a choice of three six-speed transmissions: manual, sequential manual (SMT) or full automatic. A bigger 360-horsepower V8 went into 2006 models. In spring of 2006, BMW issued a high-performance M6 coupe with a 500-horsepower V10 engine and seven-speed automatic transmission. A console button reduced output to 400 horsepower when desired.
