The new package will be put on sale this July and was specially designed to enhance the M6’s handling properties and performance.The Competition Package starts by adding an extra 15 horsepower under the hood, so the high-revving V-8 engine now delivers a total of 575 horsepower.

As a result, the M6’s ride has been lowered by around 10 mm (0.39 inches) and body roll is greatly reduced.The M6 Competition Package also adds an Active M Differential with its own control unit that ensures a more direct mapping to enable firm and secure contact with the road. The car is offered with exclusively designed 20-inch M light-alloy wheels and a sport exhaust system with the customary M twin tailpipes in black chrome.Thanks to the new Competition Package, all the driving dynamics attributes of the M6 have been increased to their highest level.Updated 05/19/2013: This review has been updated with the official details, images and specs.Hit the jump to read more about the BMW M6.
