BMW M6 Engineering
V10 High Output Engine
Compound brake
With a 305 cu in/5 liter displacement, the high-
speed V10 engine generates a maximum out-
put of 373 kW and a maximum torque of
Your BMW M6 has a high-performance brake
system with perforated compound brake rotors.
Due to the special structural features of these
brake rotors, function noises occur during brak-
ing, but this has no effect on the performance,
operating safety, and stability of the brakes.

lb ft/520 Nm. Its spontaneous response
characteristics yield a very broad usable engine
speed range. At the maximum engine speed of
8,250
rpm, the flow of fuel is interrupted in
order to protect the engine. Due to the powerful
engine dynamics, when the vehicle is at rest,
the maximum engine speed is limited to

In order to keep the brake system in optimum
condition, it is useful to put them under load at
regular intervals in accordance with the nature
of the vehicle.

Warming up
Also refer to Corrosion on brake rotors on
page 119.
The emissions control system causes the
V10 high-output engine to have slightly
rougher running characteristics during its
warm-up phase.
Drive train
When the engine is cold, the exhaust system
has a slightly metallic undertone due to the sys-
tem design.
In your BMW M6, particular importance was
attached to the direct connection of the engine
to the drive system. Due to the torsionally rigid
design of the drive train, the transmission of the
torque is also audible, as is customary in a
sports car. As a result, load shifts can be dis-
tinctly audible. This does not in any way impair
the function or the service life of the compo-
nents.
For additional information on warming up, refer
to Tachometer on page 70 and Engine oil tem-
perature on page 71.
