2016 BMW M6 -- No Competition Package?
The configurator on the bmwusa.com website does not have a competition package option for the 2016 M6/M6C/M6GC.
Did they drop the competition package on the 2016 M6? |

maybe they want to increase power/torque

This was in large part why I picked up the '15 and not the '16. When I looked at the order sheet in January, the missing CP was glaring and with the delays due to CF, I wasn't about to wait until the end of the year. |

I get your point.
But it makes more sense to carry over the CP to 2016, even if BMW plans on changing the motor mid-year. Buyers who want CP will have to wait. Thus, BMW loses out on a sale. |

Little insight-
The suspension and handling has been adjusted for the 2016s standard, so if there is a CP in the late summer/fall- it will be performance base only. In my 2014 model- I didnt feel the extra 15hp whatsoever especially in city driving+155mph regulator. That's why if you don't plan to track the car like myself- is exactly why I put my order in.

I have been reading here that the 2016 B6 has 600 bhp. Maybe BMW has something similar in mind for the M6, or even more with the CP (when or if they release it). The people at my dealership all say that the M is the flagship of the performance line, even more than the Alpina models. They seem to feel the M's will always be the hottest of the BMW lineup. This would fit with the 2014 lineup and what I have seen of the 2015 - the Alpina has a bit less horsepower but a bit more torque at a lower RPM. If that is the thinking and it prevails into the 2016 models, I wonder what kind of bhp the M6 will have and with the competition package. Does anybody know what the bhp rating is for the non-CP 2016 M6?
I'm kind of regretting I did not hold off and get one with the CP. Certainly the car has a lot of hp but a few more sure would not hurt. What in addition to some tuning do you actually get with the CP? The stuff I see online is a bit vague and/or ambiguous. Personally, I wish they had a bit more displacement (bore it out to maybe 4.7-4.8 liters) and about 5 more psi boost. That ought to be good for about 675-700 bhp. As much as I love my new one, listening to you all has me already thinking about the next one, most likely a 2017 with all the goodies - CP, brakes, NV, B&O (or whatever the premium is), DA, and Exec. |

http://www.dinancars.com/product/d44...ries&mid=1157/ They also measured 540 HP, 574 lb-ft torque for Alpina B6 (2015 model) http://www.dinancars.com/product/d44...ries&mid=1234/ So basically performance wise, B6 is somewhere between 6 er and M6

I'm definitely looking to install a jb4 on my 16 m6!

Looks like they are. Spending time on different dyno results shows M6 transfers 530-550 HP , 500-520 lb-ft at wheels. Considering 10-15% drivetrain loss (let's agree with 12%), this engine for sure generates 600+ HP, 550+ lb-ft at crank!
The same thing with S55 (M3/M4). Dinan measured 484 HP, 446 lb-ft at crank. I believe the numbers BMW claims for M3/M4/M5/M6 are so close to what are measured at wheel and not at crank. MB AMG and Audi RS are doing the same thing.

M6 will be produced 2-3 more years (by the end of 2017 or early 2018) , so they may want to introduce CP a bit later (mid-year) to have some attraction for those already have M6 and wants to replace it with newer and more powerful model or those still need more powerful BMW. In fact BMW is buying time to be in market for another 2-3 years... make sense?

Actually I believe design and product cycles are closer to 5 or 6 years but the hard core look (committed to actually making something specific and any hope of changing things has passsed) is around 3 years from what I have seen - at least with the domestics. I would imagine about everyone is on a similar schedule. It's just the logistics of making that many of one thing and getting all your suppliers in line - just in time scheduling, etc. Last edited by chask; 04-11-2015 at 03:46 AM.. |

I must say I don't feel the extra power of the CP, but do feel better cornering/Handling.

On the other hand, BMW is losing a big market of "high performance exotic cars". Mercedes has introduced the entry level AMG GTS, Audi already has R8, Porsche has GT3/GT3 RS and who knows if GT2/GT2 RS are on the way! McLaren, Ferrari, Lamo are already in that market. BMW doesn't have any car for that market and maybe the next M6 is close (and not exactly the same) but for now (2-3 years even less if they have already started designing something like M8) the only thing they can offer is "more power and torque" for their flagship car (which is M6)... If you read other threads, many M6 owners have already thought about their next car and you can see how many of them are looking for that exotic market ... read this thread: http://www.6post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1111177

Just been at my dealership..I don't understand why they've discontinued the CP for the M6.. I had a 13 M5 Base and have a 14 M5 CP and found a noticeable difference in handling and sound (exhaust) before my remap. I was thinking about the GC..but not now..see M5 still available in CP..
