This week we headed out to Austin, TX to drive the 2015 BMW X6 M at the Circuit of the Americas! Here we're following former F1 driver Timo Glock.
While not how one might first envision a track day vehicle, the X6 M packs some fairly serious firepower. 0-60 mph happens in 4.0 seconds, aided by the the new eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and the new M TwinPower Turbo V8 making 567 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, and the X6 M is fitted standard with low-weight 21-inch forged wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport UHP tires.
