BMW has recently revealed the M5 with a manual transmission, and now the 2013 M6 Coupe and Convertible will also get a six-speed manual transmission, though could be delayed until 2014.
Reports have stated only one in every 100 M5 buyers in the U.S. wants a manual transmission, but the German carmaker is still hoping that demand will increase for the M6.
As we have previously reported, the 2012 M6 is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 560 hp, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This allows the coupe to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, while the convertible is 4.3 seconds. Both have an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h, but that can be increased to 305 km/h with the M Driver's Package.
