The BMW M6 Convertible represents something of a problem for true-blue driving enthusiasts. Awesomely fast, great handling, a fantastic noise and uncompromising looks but… it’s still a convertible.

Running costs

BMW has gone to great lengths to cut emissions and fuel consumption. When you consider that the previous model’s claimed average fuel consumption was around 19mpg, this version’s official average of 27.4mpg is pretty impressive. In real-world driving though, you’ll be lucky to get 20mpg. BMW M6 Convertible running costs won’t be cheap right across the board: BMW’s servicing costs among the highest and it’ll be expensive to maintain as well.

Tyres will be pricey and the high CO2 emissions make it expensive to tax.

Emissions summary

You’ll not be doing icebergs in the Arctic Circle much good if you buy one of these because official BMW M6 Convertible emissions make unpleasant reading. The previous M6 droptop’s CO2 emissions were a planet-melting 342g/km and this car’s 232g/km do represent a massive improvement. Still, this is not a car to take to the Greenpeace annual get-together.
