According to a recent report by BMWBlog, the long awaited BMW M6 (F12) is due to have its media reveal next month. No sources have been identified, but it is also expected to make its public debut shortly after at the Geneva Motor Show in early March.

The M6 is believed to be getting a sportier suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes and lightweight alloy wheels while the same 4.4-liter V8 engine from the M5 gives the coupe and convertible 560 PS (412 kW / 552 hp) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque that is mated a 7-speed M DCT transmission system.

According to sources, it will enable the M6 to accelerate from 0-62mph (0-100kph) in 4.2 seconds. Assuming we are talking about the coupe, this is 0.2 seconds quicker than its predecessor and suggests the convertible will achieve a time of around 4.5 seconds.

love the ceramic brakes...cos brakes were always a weak link in BMW M-line!!! also for the M6 it would be nice to have more hp than M5...lets say 590 would be good cos the new SL63 AMG Biturbo will have also 590!

I did a 2 day M course in South Carolina. Back and forth between M3 and M5 all day long. It was an adult Disneyland. I went through 2 sets of tires but the brakes held up strong, no fade even when the rotors had a slight glow at the end of the day.
