Significant upgrades to the M6's Competition Package only serve to lift its appeal even more A new BMW M6 derivative. There already was a Competition Package for the BMW M6. I don’t know why it needed replacing – the standard M6 already has 552bhp, and the old Competition Package lifted that to 567bhp.But let’s face it, who doesn’t like a horsepower number that starts with a six? So, an upgrade to the upgrade it is: the old Competition Package is no more, and a new one offers 600hp, or 592bhp in imperial money.That’s not all: this new Competition Package is more… competitiony. Springs and dampers have been upgraded, as have anti-roll bars. The electronically controlled limited-slip M-differential gets its own ECU, the stability control programme has its own tune, as does the steering, while there’s an Akrapovic titanium ‘zorst.When I say the suspension is ‘upgraded’, mind, what I mean is ‘stiffer’. The dampers are still adaptive, so you do get some say in how rigid they are. The chassis, like the steering and the engine/transmission response, can be put in Comfort, Sport or Sport+ - individually, or together, as you prefer.
