Sports sedan BMW M6 Gran Coupe. Review of the Meizu M6s smartphone with balanced characteristics Bmw m6 technical specifications

At the beginning of the year, Meizu introduced its new smartphone M6s, which is nominally an improved version of the M6, but there are many more differences to call it a simple update. Meizu M6s received many innovations, such as a side-mounted fingerprint scanner (never before seen in devices from this manufacturer) and an 18:9 screen; it returned the navigation option with a circle button. In short, the smartphone has the right to claim the title of the original model and can count on the closest attention from lovers of Meizu mobile technology.

Meizu M6s comes complete with a USB cable and a network adapter (5/9/12 V; 2 A) with support for mCharge fast charging.

Appearance and ease of use

Meizu M6s has a nice all-metal body with a nice design and practical materials. Unlike the same model, there are no notorious plastic inserts on the ends.

Accordingly, to bring the antennas out, painfully familiar shaped recesses are provided, covered from the outside with a composite material.

There are no complaints about the assembly either: everything fits neatly, does not creak when compressed, the body is monolithic. The metal has a matte hard surface and is slightly slippery in dry palms. The smartphone is moderately large, not very thin and not the lightest, but everything is within the already familiar norm. Due to the strongly rounded corners, the smartphone is quite comfortable to carry in clothing pockets.

The camera module on the back side protrudes slightly outward, causing the smartphone to wobble when lying on a hard surface. There is only one camera on the back of the case; next to it you can find a dual, fairly bright LED flash.

There is an LED event indicator on the front panel. The front camera does not have its own flash, nor does it have autofocus.

Below the screen there are no touch buttons, no fingerprint scanner, or even a manufacturer's logo - just a rather narrow strip of empty space is left.

The fingerprint scanner is unusually placed on the side, and it is not built into the power key, like Sony, but located next to it. It's just a platform, without a button underneath it.

The second mechanical button, responsible for the volume, is located on the opposite side. Some people like this, but still the vast majority of modern smartphones have both buttons on the same edge, which is clearly more convenient.

The card slot is standard hybrid; you can install two Nano-SIM cards in it or put a memory card instead of one of the SIM cards.

At the top end there is nothing except an auxiliary microphone; all other elements are crowded at the bottom.

Here again we see a set of interface connectors in a “retro” style: the USB port is represented by a Micro-USB connector, but the usual 3.5 mm audio output for headphones is preserved. The main speaker is also located here, at the bottom end.

The Meizu M6s model goes on sale in four colors: with a black, gold, silver, and blue body. It is noteworthy that the main competitor, Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, also has a blue modification in its arsenal.

Screen

Meizu M6s is equipped with an IPS display with 2.5D protective glass. The screen dimensions are approximately 65x130 mm, 5.7-inch diagonal, but the resolution is 1440x720 (18:9), the pixel density is only about 282 ppi. The width of the frame around the screen on the sides is about 3 mm, the margins at the top and bottom are 1 cm high.

You can adjust the display brightness manually or use automatic settings based on the ambient light sensor. Multi-touch tests diagnose support for 10 simultaneous touches.

A detailed examination using measuring instruments was carried out by the editor of the “Monitors” and “Projectors and TV” sections Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface that is scratch-resistant. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are slightly better than those of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photograph in which a white surface is reflected in the switched off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Meizu M6s, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen of the Meizu M6s is slightly darker (brightness according to photographs is 116 versus 120 for the Nexus 7). The ghosting of reflected objects in the Meizu M6s screen is very weak, this indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS - One Glass Solution type screen). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of intense external illumination, but their repair in the case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be replaced. The outer surface of the screen has a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (better in efficiency than that of the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed much more easily and appear at a lower speed than with regular glass.

With manual brightness control and when the white field was displayed in full screen, the maximum brightness value was about 460 cd/m², the minimum was 1.9 cd/m². The maximum brightness is high, and, given the good anti-glare properties, screen readability even on a sunny day outdoors should be at a decent level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. There is automatic brightness adjustment based on the light sensor (it is located to the left of the front speaker slot). In automatic mode, as external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider. If it is 100%, then in complete darkness the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 55 cd/m² (a little bright), in an office illuminated by artificial light (about 550 lux) it sets it to 320 cd/m² (suitable), in a very bright environment ( corresponds to lighting on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) the brightness increases to 460 cd/m² (to the maximum - this is how it should be); if the adjustment is approximately 50%, then the values ​​are as follows: 5.5, 220 and 460 cd/m² (the first value is a bit low); if the regulator is at 0% - 1.9, 110 and 460 cd/m² (the first value is already very low). We were more satisfied with the option with a slider of about 60%: 15, 260 and 460 cd/m². It turns out that the auto-brightness function works adequately and allows the user to customize their work to individual requirements. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

This smartphone uses an IPS matrix. The microphotographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without significant color shift even with large viewing deviations from perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, here are photographs in which the same images are displayed on the screens of Meizu M6s and Nexus 7, while the screen brightness is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m², and the color balance on the camera is forced to switch to 6500 K.

There is a white field perpendicular to the screens:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And a test picture:

The color saturation on the Meizu M6s screen is slightly higher than natural. Testing has shown that this is achieved by increasing color contrast. The color balance between the Nexus 7 and the screen we tested differed.

Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, but on the Meizu M6s the contrast has decreased to a greater extent due to the strong brightening of black.

And a white field:

The brightness at an angle of the screens decreased (at least 4 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but in the case of the Meizu M6s the drop in brightness is slightly less. When deviated diagonally, the black field brightens greatly and acquires a reddish tint. The photographs below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same!):

And from another angle:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is average, and the backlight also shines through the body panels a little:

The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - about 1360:1. The response time for the black-white-black transition is 27 ms (16 ms on + 11 ms off). The transition between halftones of gray 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes a total of 39 ms. The gamma curve, constructed using 32 points with equal intervals based on the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal any blockage in either the highlights or the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.17, which is slightly lower than the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve deviates little from the power-law dependence:

We did not detect the presence of dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness in accordance with the nature of the displayed image, which is very good.

Color gamut is close to sRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components with each other:

As a result, visually the colors on this screen do not differ much from natural ones (remember about the slight increase in color contrast). The balance of shades on the gray scale is average, since the color temperature is much higher than the standard 6500 K, but the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, color temperature and ΔE change little from hue to hue - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

This device has the ability to adjust the color balance using the hue adjustment.

The curves in the graphs above Without corr. correspond to the results without any color balance correction, and the curves Warm- data obtained after moving the slider to the position as in the picture above. It can be seen that the change in balance corresponds to the expected result, since the color temperature has approached the standard value, but ΔE has become too large. It doesn't make much sense to make a correction.

There is a setting that allows you to reduce the intensity of the blue component.

In this case, the statements about harm to health are not extreme, which, however, still does not add to the usefulness of this function. Let us recall that, in principle, bright light can lead to disruption of the circadian rhythm (see the article about the iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display), but this problem can be solved by adjusting the brightness to a comfortable level, and distorting the color balance, reducing the contribution of blue, there is absolutely no point.

To summarize: the screen has a high maximum brightness and has excellent anti-glare properties, so the device can be used outdoors even on a sunny summer day without any problems. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is also possible to use a mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, the absence of air gaps in the layers of the screen and flickering, high contrast, as well as the sRGB color gamut, although slightly spoiled by a slight increase in color contrast. The disadvantages are the low stability of black to the deviation of the gaze from perpendicular to the screen plane. Nevertheless, taking into account the importance of characteristics for this particular class of devices, the quality of the screen can be considered high.

Cameras

The front camera of Meizu M6s uses an 8 MP sensor and a 4-element lens with f/2.0 aperture. There are software “selfie enhancers” running on ArcSoft technologies. As usual, when you use this beauty editor, not only wrinkles disappear, but also skin texture. If you don’t use the “beautifier,” then all the wrinkles will appear stronger in the pictures than in real life. With a selfie camera like this, you don't even know what's best. There are no special complaints about sharpness, the pictures are bright, detail is normal. In general, everything is very good during daytime shooting. Indoors with artificial light, the quality does not drop very much with proper dexterity, but here you already have to exercise endurance, since two-thirds of handheld shots come out blurry.

The rear camera has a 16-megapixel sensor resolution and uses a 5-element lens with f/2.0 aperture. There is fast phase detection autofocus, which works adequately, there is a two-tone bright flash, but there is no image stabilization.

The menu is standard for the Flyme interface, it is very laconic, but that’s what it takes: you won’t get lost in the mass of unnecessary settings, everything is at your fingertips, just one click away. There is a manual shooting mode in which you can enter exposure compensation, adjust white balance, and set light sensitivity to ISO 1600. There is no standard option for saving images in RAW.

The camera can shoot video in a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30 fps, there are no more advanced modes, and there is no stabilization either. In general, the camera copes well with video shooting. Sharpness is normal, detail is satisfactory, there are no complaints about color rendition and auto white balance. The sound is recorded cleanly - here, unlike Xiaomi devices, the noise reduction system does not distort the sound recording with its overly aggressive work, everything is fine with the sound.

• Video No. 1 (39 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)
• Video No. 2 (16 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)
• Video No. 3 (27 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)
• Video No. 4 (35 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)
• Video No. 5 (26 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)
• Video No. 6 (22 MB, 1920×1080@30 fps, H.264, AAC)

The camera turned out to be almost flagship. It perfectly works out details across the frame and in the plans, doesn’t overdo it with software processing, and copes well even with a lack of light. There are practically no areas of blur in the pictures, even at the edges. It is perhaps difficult to identify obvious shortcomings here, so the camera can be recommended for documentary and art photography.

Telephone and communications

The Samsung Exynos 7872 chip includes an LTE Cat.7/Cat.13 modem capable of providing data exchange speeds of 300/150 Mbit/s (download/upload). Meizu M6s supports six LTE FDD frequency bands, including three used in Russia (Band 3, 7, 20). Again, in this the hero of the review has a significant advantage over the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. Within the city limits of the Moscow region, the device behaves confidently, and the quality of signal reception in wireless networks does not raise any complaints.

Both Wi-Fi bands (2.4 and 5 GHz) are supported, as well as Bluetooth 4.2, but there is no NFC module. With the current widespread use of contactless payment technologies, this is a rather sad fact that deprives the user of a fair amount of comfort.

The navigation module works with GPS (with A-GPS), with the domestic Glonass and the Chinese Beidou. During a cold start, the first satellites are detected quickly, within the first minute. The device has a magnetic compass, necessary for navigation programs.

The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, while dialing a phone number, a search is immediately carried out by the first letters in contacts. Methods for sorting and displaying contacts are standard for the Android interface.

The platform supports active standby of both SIM cards in 3G/4G simultaneously. That is, the SIM card can be in active standby on a 3G/4G network, and not just on 2G, even if another card is assigned to transmit data on 4G. The cards operate in Dual SIM Dual Standby mode, there is only one radio modem.

Software and multimedia

The software platform uses Android OS version 7.0 with its own Flyme shell version 6.3 and the ability to update over the air (OTA). The proprietary interface has not undergone significant changes; everything is familiar and standard for Meizu smartphones. The only thing worth noting is that in the new version Meizu’s proprietary navigation with a circle has returned: right-left - switch between applications, touch - return to the previous screen, hold - go to the home screen. The usual Android navigation option is available as an alternative: you need to go to the Navigation bar section and select one of two ways to display the navigation bar with buttons.

To play music, a familiar audio player with a 5-band equalizer with presets is used. The sound of the smartphone is not particularly impressive: the speaker sounds clear and loud, but loud, without a noticeable presence of low frequencies. The sound in headphones is better, and in general for a smartphone of this price level the sound is in order, everything is at a quite satisfactory level.

The voice recorder demonstrates good sensitivity, an additional microphone with noise reduction function eliminates ambient noise, but there is no FM radio in the smartphone.

Performance

Meizu M6s uses the Samsung Exynos 7872 single-chip system, made using 14-nanometer technology, as a hardware platform. Actually, this is the first smartphone presented on this platform. The SoC has 6 CPU cores: 2 Cortex-A73 cores with a frequency of 2 GHz and 4 Cortex-A53 cores (1.6 GHz). Graphics processing is handled by the Mali-G71 GPU video accelerator, single-core, with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, supporting OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan graphics APIs. The amount of RAM is 3 GB, and the built-in flash memory is 32 or 64 GB. Of these, on average, about 24 GB (out of 32 GB) of storage space and 1.2 GB of RAM are free.

It is possible to expand the memory by installing microSD cards, but the system does not offer installation of applications on the memory card. You can also connect external flash drives in USB OTG mode.

The main competitor for the Samsung Exynos 7872 is considered to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625/630 - both platforms are positioned for upper-mid-level smartphones. According to the test results, the Samsung platform, as expected, looks better in complex benchmarks, but in specialized graphics tests, GPU Adreno just as expectedly outperforms Mali.

The capabilities of this platform are still more than enough for any needs and tasks; there are no problems with games either; heavy Modern Combat 5, Mortal Kombat X and even Injustice 2 run without slowdowns. A smartphone on such a solid platform still has some power reserves for further updates.

Testing in comprehensive tests AnTuTu and GeekBench:

For convenience, we have compiled all the results we obtained when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks into tables. The table usually adds several other devices from different segments, also tested on similar latest versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the obtained dry figures). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison it is impossible to present the results from different versions of benchmarks, so many worthy and relevant models remain “behind the scenes” - due to the fact that they once passed the “obstacle course” on previous versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in gaming tests 3DMark, GFXBenchmark and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark, the most powerful smartphones now have the ability to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (which can cause the speed to rise above 60 fps).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowance for the fact that their results significantly depend on the browser in which they are launched, so the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this is possible during testing not always. For Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

AndroBench memory speed test results:

Thermal photographs

Below is a thermal image rear surface obtained after 10 minutes of battery testing in the GFXBenchmark program:

Heating is more localized in the upper part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 34 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), which is relatively little.

Playing video

To test the omnivorous nature of video playback (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Internet. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern options using processor cores alone. Also, you shouldn’t expect a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a table.

Further testing of video playback was performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Method for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices)”). Screenshots with a shutter speed of 1 s helped determine the nature of the output of frames of video files with various parameters: the resolution varied (1280 by 720 (720p), 1920 by 1080 (1080p) and 3840 by 2160 (4K) pixels) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps). In the tests we used the MX Player video player in the “Hardware” mode. The test results are summarized in the table:

Note: If in both columns Uniformity And Passes green ratings are given, this means that, most likely, when watching films, artifacts caused by uneven alternation and frame skipping will either not be visible at all, or their number and visibility will not affect the viewing comfort. Red marks indicate possible problems with playback of the corresponding files.

According to the frame output criterion, the quality of playback of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is very good, since in most cases frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) be output at evenly alternating intervals and without skipping frames, with the exception of 4K files with 50 and 60 frames /With. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 (720p), the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly at the height of the screen and in the original resolution (in landscape orientation). The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235.

Battery life

The non-removable battery installed in the Meizu M6s has a standard capacity of 3000 mAh - this is significantly less than that of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. However, the smartphone is not so bad in terms of battery life, it is average, although not outstanding.

In real life, the device behaves the same way as most modern smartphones: it confidently survives until the evening charge, but you can’t count on more.

Testing has traditionally been done at normal power consumption levels without using power-saving features.

Continuous reading in the Moon+ Reader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) with auto-scrolling lasted until the battery was completely discharged for about 13 hours, and when continuously watching videos in high quality (1080p) with the same brightness level via a home Wi-Fi network, the device operates for about 10 hours. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone can work up to 4.5 hours, depending on the specific game.

The smartphone is charged from its own AC adapter in just 1 hour with a current of 1.5 A at a voltage of 9 V. The smartphone does not support wireless charging.

Bottom line

Meizu M6s is not so expensive: the younger version (with 32 GB) officially costs 14 thousand rubles, and for the older version (with 64 GB) they ask for 16 thousand. At the same time, there is practically nothing to complain about: there is a solid all-metal body without plastic inserts, the hardware platform is quite modern and productive, the cameras, sound, screen, battery life are good, communication capabilities are better than many (especially Xiaomi of a similar level). Support for fast charging is also an important point; few mobile devices in this price range have it. In general, the smartphone is clearly worth the money, and among the manufacturer’s current models it is currently one of the most interesting in terms of the combination of price and capabilities.

Meizu M6T is a budget smartphone with a widescreen FullView display. This model is equipped with fingerprint and face scanners, as well as a dual camera for creating photos with a blur effect. The announcement of this inexpensive gadget took place in May 2018.

Appearance and ergonomics

Meizu M6T has an elongated body, which is made of practical polycarbonate. Almost its entire front part is occupied by a “frameless” screen. The top of the screen is covered with very durable and thick 2.5D glass. At the same time, although the side frames are present, their size is minimal.

There are no physical buttons on the front panel. Moreover, there is no usual mTouch key; instead, the engineers have built in a virtual mBack button built directly into the display. It allows you to navigate through menus and also supports pressure recognition technology. At the back there is a symmetrical flash, a vertical block with a dual camera and a round fingerprint scanner. At the bottom end there are external speaker grilles and a microUSB port. At the top is a traditional headphone jack.

Thanks to the highly rounded corners of the case, the device is very comfortable to hold in your hand even for a long time. Available colors: black, red and gold. Dimensions: height - 152.3 mm, width - 73 mm, thickness - 8.4 mm, weight - 145 g.

Display

The M6T smartphone has a 5.7-inch screen with a progressive aspect ratio of 18:9. This FullView display has a resolution of 1440 by 720 pixels. This IPS matrix is ​​covered with protective 2.5D glass with an effective oleophobic coating. It is necessary to note the excellent viewing angles, as well as a very rich color palette. The picture looks moderately juicy, but the brightness reserve on a sunny day may be a little lacking. But this is compensated by the decent anti-reflective properties of the matrix.

Hardware and performance

Inside the M6T there is an eight-core Mediatek MT6750 processor. Four economy cores operate at 1000 MHz, and the remaining four operate at 1500 MHz. The well-known Mali-T860MP2 graphics accelerator is present. There are two versions of the smartphone: advanced - 4 GB of RAM and 32 or 64 GB of internal storage, regular - 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. There is a slot for microSD cards up to 128 GB.

There is a built-in battery with a capacity of 3300 mAh. Its charge lasts up to two days of active use. The device runs on the Android 7.0 operating system along with the Flyme 7 shell. The device has One Mind technology, which effectively speeds up the work of frequently used programs.

The performance of the gadget is at an average level. In the AnTuTu v6 test, the phone scores about 45,000 points. In real conditions, the processor performs quite well. The chip does not heat up to excessive temperatures even during heavy load. Not all games run smoothly, but you can try to fix this by adjusting the graphics.

Communication and sound

The Meizu M6T has a fairly loud multimedia speaker. Therefore, the call can be heard even from a pocket or bag. Thanks to the high-quality conversational dynamics, the interlocutor can be heard really well. The sound in headphones is also good, but not perfect. There is support for LTE and Bluetooth 4.1 networks. There is a built-in FM radio. It should also be noted that there is a hybrid slot for two SIM cards.

Camera

Meizu M6T is equipped with a dual camera. This is a main 13-megapixel sensor with an aperture of 2.2, as well as an additional 2-megapixel module with an aperture of 2.4. There is phase detection autofocus. There is also a dual-tone LED flash. ArcSoft proprietary algorithms make it possible to take better pictures in different conditions. In this case, the best results can be achieved precisely in daylight.

On the back side there is a front-facing 8-megapixel camera with aperture 2.0 and a wide-angle lens. There are shooting algorithms from ArcSoft, as well as advanced Face AE Light Boost technology. This camera can recognize the user’s face for instant unlocking.

conclusions

The affordable class smartphone M6T turned out to be very balanced. Its strengths include modern design, a large screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio, a dual camera and scanners (face and fingerprints). This mobile device looks quite confident compared to many competitors in this price segment.

Pros:

• High-quality frameless display.
• Dual main camera.
• Multiple scanners for maximum security.
• Advanced appearance.
• Functional button mBack.

Minuses:

• Some games lack power.
• No NFC chip provided.
• There is no USB Type-C connector.

Video reviews

In September 1983, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW presented the top model from the Motorsport GmbH division - the M635 CSi. The car had an E24 body and a powerful high-speed 6-cylinder M88/3 engine with a volume of 3453 cm³ and a power of 286 hp, which allowed it to reach speeds of up to 255 km/h. The car accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. Initially, this power unit was equipped with the M1 sports car. Of course, some changes had to be made to the engine, for example, we worked on the cooling and lubrication systems. All coolant paths, as well as the intake manifold, have been redesigned to position the engine at a 30-degree angle in the M635 CSi's engine bay, as opposed to the M1 where the powerplant was mounted vertically. The dry sump lubrication system used on the M1 was replaced by a conventional lubrication system, as found on the standard 635 CSi.

Externally, the M635 CSi model was practically no different from the standard 635 CSi. The front spoiler was slightly lower and the fender arches were slightly wider. The exterior was complemented with 16-inch collapsible BBS wheels and a slightly modified front skirt with a ribbed edge at the bottom. Also worth noting is the small aerodynamic wing on the driver's windshield wiper. A three-spoke sports steering wheel was standard, but Recaro sports seats were an option.

The front brakes received larger (300 mm x 30 mm) ventilated discs with 4-piston ATE calipers. The rear brakes were essentially the same as those on the standard 635 CSi, but the calipers had 2mm larger pistons. The suspension features 10mm lower and 15% stiffer springs, accompanied by specially developed Bilstein gas shock absorbers on all four corners. Also, more powerful stabilizers were installed on the car.

Since 1987, the M635 CSi began to be supplied to the USA, where it received the short designation M6. The engine in the M6 ​​was equipped with a catalytic converter and had a reduced compression ratio, resulting in only 256 horsepower. Simultaneously with the start of deliveries to the American market, the M88 engine index was replaced by S38, highlighting with the letter S that the power unit belongs to the developments of the BMW Motorsport GmbH department.

In April 1989, the last M635 CSi (M6) of the first generation rolled off the assembly line.

After a long break, in 2005, the M6 ​​returned. The second generation of the coupe emphasizes its entire appearance as belonging to the supercar tribe. The exterior shares similarities with the 6 Series. But the Emka is distinguished by enlarged air intakes, different side mirrors, a modified shape of the sidewalls of the front part of the body and dual muffler pipes at the rear. The supercar essence of the model is most clearly revealed by the huge 19-inch wheels that can accommodate ventilated brake discs with a diameter of 348 mm in the front and 345 in the rear. There are 4 unique exterior colors available specifically for the M6: Indianapolis Red, Sepang Bronze, Interlagos Blue and Silverstone.

The interior welcomes you with sports leather seats with lumbar support and electrical adjustments. The luxurious leather upholstery of the front panel is successfully combined with carbon inserts. The picture is completed by a dark suede-lined ceiling, as well as the unchanged iDrive with a large liquid crystal display and controller. The M logo is emblazoned on the lower spoke of the steering wheel, on the sills, on the tachometer dial, and even on the left footrest.

When designing the car, BMW specialists fought against excess weight. Body parts are made of lightweight materials. The doors are made of aluminum, the front fenders are made of plastic, and the roof is made of carbon fiber. Carbon is very expensive, but it is stronger and almost twice as light as aluminum. As a result, the M6 ​​weighs just 1,710 kg.

The model was equipped with a powerful five-liter aluminum-silicon V10 engine developing 507 hp. at 7750 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. The speedometer measures up to 330 km/h and shows the true potential of the M6, although top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. It is noteworthy that this power unit is one of the most complex in its electronics. The MS S65 engine control unit consists of three 32-bit processors that coordinate more than 200 million operations per second, processing data from 50 sources.

There is a Power button on the center console of the BMW M6. “By default” the P400 setting is activated, in which the engine does not operate at full power, but using only 400 hp. If the Power button is pressed, the setting changes to P500 and all 507 hp are used.

The BMW M6 is equipped with a 7-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) transmission of the third generation with the Drivelogic system, which offers a choice of 11 operating modes. Six of these options are for manual mode and five for automatic mode.

The suspension is based on the “standard” geometry of the BMW 645Ci. The double cross member of the front axle spring, as well as the rear axle, is made entirely of aluminum. The standard equipment includes an electronic damper control system (Electronic Damper Control). The driver of the BMW M6 has the opportunity to optionally select one of the suspension settings - Comfort, Normal or Sport.

In 2012, a year after the premiere of the new BMW 6-Series, the German automaker officially presented a “charged” version of the “six” with the M nameplate, both in the Coupe body (F12) and in the open Convertible modification (F13). Compared to the previous generation, it has grown significantly in size. The BMW Coupe F13 is 4898 mm long, 1899 mm wide and 1374 mm high, versus 4871 mm, 1855 mm and 1372 mm for its predecessor E63. The F12 convertible also became a little larger than its predecessor, but was slightly short in height: 4898 mm in length, 1899 mm in width, 1368 mm, height compared to 4871 mm, 1855 mm and 1377 mm.

The new car inherits a stylish and elegant, one might even say refined, design from the regular sixth series coupe. Except that aerodynamic parts were added to it, which gave the car’s appearance even more aggressiveness. The dynamic appearance is enhanced by dominant air intakes, a redesigned radiator grille bearing the M6 ​​badge, new bumpers, flared wheel arches, air vents in the front fenders and four tailpipes of the sports exhaust system.

The base is equipped with 19-inch wheels shod with tires measuring 265/40R19 at the front and 295/35R19 at the rear. 20-inch wheels are also available as an option. With the latter, powerful carbon-ceramic brakes can also be ordered.

The new salon turned out to be quite luxurious. Almost all interior elements are dressed in genuine leather. Sports seats have been developed especially for the new M6. The interior is dominated by carbon and wood elements, replacing chrome and anodized elements. The interior also received a new steering wheel with paddle shifters, a redesigned instrument panel and door sills with illuminated lights. For an additional fee, a heated steering wheel, a standard navigation system and a Bang & Olufsen audio system are available. In addition, the car can be equipped with a night vision system with pedestrian recognition, a lane monitoring system, a rear view camera, and an infotainment system with Internet access.

The car is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, which is installed on the BMW M5 2012. The engine produces 560 hp. and 680 Nm of peak torque, which is transmitted to the wheels via a seven-speed M-DCT transmission and distributed between the wheels of the rear axle using an active differential.

The new BMW M6 Coupe accelerates from zero to hundreds in 4.2 seconds, while the convertible takes 0.1 seconds longer. The top speed of both is electronically limited to 250 km/h, but the M Driver's Package increases the top speed to 305 km/h.

Despite the fact that the old generation BMW M6 is equipped with a V10 engine, this car is 10% more powerful. BMW managed to make this car even more economical, the average consumption of the coupe in the combined cycle is 9.9 liters per hundred kilometers, and the consumption of the convertible is 10.3 liters per hundred. Not least of all, this was achieved thanks to work to reduce the weight of cars. For example, the roof of the 2012 BMW M6 coupe is made of carbon fiber, and the doors and hood are made of aluminum. However, the weight of the coupe still remains very impressive - 1,850 kg, and the convertible, equipped with a folding roof made of composites, is another 30 kg heavier.

The predecessor of the modern BMW M6 Coupe is the legendary BMW M635CSi E24, which debuted in 1983 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This car, in turn, replaced the classic BMW 3.0CSi coupe. The car became the first business class coupe in the manufacturer’s line. The E24 featured many innovative developments, in particular an on-board monitoring system that monitors the level of brake fluid, water in the washer reservoir, engine oil and the health of the headlights. A 3.5-liter engine with a capacity of 286 horsepower was installed under the hood of the car, with which the car could accelerate to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. The current generation of the BMW M6 Coupe debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005. The car also received many modern technologies. The four-seat rear-wheel drive sports coupe in the E63 body differs from the standard 6 Series car in its exclusive design, the highest level of comfort and a powerful power unit. The car is equipped with a 5-liter V10 engine producing 507 horsepower. The BMW M6 Coupe accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. The maximum speed of the car is limited to 250 km/h. It is noteworthy that the engine can be controlled by two programs, one of which limits the engine power to 400 horsepower.

The BMW M6 Cabrio convertible in the E64 body is based on the sports model in the BMW M6 Coupe body. This car debuted in 2005 at the Geneva Motor Show and in turn became the successor to the car, known since 1983. The coupe was distinguished by a huge amount of useful electronics, a powerful 507-horsepower engine and an original design. The convertible first appeared before the public in 2006. The vehicle is characterized by a 2+2 landing pattern and rich equipment. The car uses the same power unit as the coupe version - a 5-liter ten-cylinder engine with a capacity of 507 horsepower. The engine is equipped with a Double-VANOS continuously variable valve timing system and electronic throttle valves for all cylinders. The dynamics of the M6 ​​Cabrio are inferior to the coupe version - the car accelerates to 100 km/h 0.2 seconds slower - in 4.8 seconds. The car also differs from the M6 ​​Coupe in fundamentally new seats and, of course, a transparent soft roof with electric drive. In the fall of 2007, the convertible and coupe models underwent a slight restyling. Changes affected the front part of the body and sidewalls. The convertible's trunk capacity is 350 liters.
