2006 British International Motor Show

LONDON — BMW has unveiled the soft-top version of its M6 supercar at the British International Motor Show. This is the first time BMW's M division has produced a version of the 6 Series convertible, and it's the first time the German manufacturer has chosen to launch a new model in the U.K. A wind-in-the-hair version of BMW's acclaimed M6 Coupe, the convertible is powered by M-power's 4,999cc V10 engine, developing a not-insignificant 500 horsepower. Even with the added mass of the powered convertible roof, this car is still capable of sprinting from zero to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. Top speed is limited to 155 mph but BMW claims that it would top 200 mph were it unrestricted. A seven-speed sequential manual gearbox is standard, allowing the driver to change gears using steering wheel-mounted paddles.


New BMW convertible combines performance and style

THE new BMW M6 Convertible, which effortlessly combines power and performance with a particularly stylish rendition of open-air motoring, has arrived at Alfardan Automobiles, Qatar's exclusive BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce importer.

"Incredibly dynamic, incredibly open, and incredibly attractive: the new BMW M6 Convertible showcases impressive driving dynamics with unmistakable looks as it is the open-air version of the BMW M6 high-performance sports car and at the same time it is the most sporting and dynamic rendition of the BMW 6 Series Convertible," a press release said.

"Alfardan Automobiles' customers' anticipation for the arrival of the new M6 Convertible has been building since this unparalleled sports car made its world debut in October. Now it has arrived, we are immensely excited as the BMW M6 Convertible's ultimate performance statistics, driving comfort and unique flair proves it will live up to expectations and it will be the dream car for genuine sports motoring enthusiasts," said Naim Majdalani, sales manager - BMW Group, Alfardan Automobiles.

2008 BMW V-10 M6 Cabriolet Convertible, 500-hp

It's possibly my favorite car because it makes so much sense. I am still amazed at the lack of hype this vehicle receives. The V10 BMW M6 is a car overlooked by many because buyers often prefer the BMW M3 or the M5 and are not aware of its existence. FYI, BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke or Bavarian Motor Works in English. Many owners are too lazy to Google the acronym and find out what they're actually driving so now there's no excuse. Okay, back to the car. The BMW M6 (convertible included) is a four seater, although it's not built for full size humans (backseat), it owns the Mercedes SL and other contenders in the room category.

The V10, 5.0-liter BMW M6 droptop packs 500-hp and it also has the convenient seven-speed sequential manual gearbox also known as SMG.


Luxury market finds ever-richer items for wealthy stockings

In less than eight minutes, Saks Fifth Avenue sold all 20 special-edition 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL600s in its gift catalog for a cool $160,000 each. Neiman Marcus' 50 limited-edition BMW M6 convertibles sold out in just 92 seconds. The $139,000 price included a four-day trip to the company's factory in Munich, Germany.

Clearly, some folks have been very, very good this year. .


A happy high-end Christmas

After Wall Street filled their workers' pockets with nearly $24 billion in bonus cash, American luxury retailers have already declared this the best Christmas ever.

Ferraris, holidays in the Maldives and watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were just some of the items snapped up by New York finance types in the weeks leading up to today's gorging, according to a survey by Trader Monthly.

One of the hungriest big spenders last week, according to posh Manhattan eatery BLT, was a 12-year-old boy who got to eat a 12-ounce Kobe steak at $26 an ounce, thanks to his banker dad.

In total, the bonuses doled out to Walls Street's workers tallied $23.9 billion, according to a conservative estimate by the New York State Comptroller. That means on average, each person working in the financial services industry had an extra $137,580 to splurge.


Bologna Motorshow 2006

At the 31st Bologna Motor Show, taking place from the 7th - 17th December, there were few world premieres, so we took the chance of taking some atmospheric photos from the location that's at the heart of the Italian supercar industry.

The atmosphere at the show is very relaxed. You are not in a throng of massed journalists, and it's hard to believe that nearly 400 exhibitors are represented, showing over 100 new items. The advantage of course is that a photographer can take pictures without any hassles.

As far as the luxury brands are concerned Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Spyker were all present, however it was down to Lamborghini to present a new road model; the new Murcilago LP640 Roadster. The flagship model from Sant'Agata was released only last week as a convertible variant and celebrates its European premiere at Bologna.
