BMW is good for a lot of things these days, and when it comes to introducing performance add-ons masquerading as extra options, the German automaker is as good as it gets in the business. In fact, M Performance parts have become staples among a long list of BMW models and it’s no surprise that we’re here to once again talk about another model getting the same goodies.

This time, the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo gets its turn in the spotlight, receiving its own line of M Performance goodies for the first time ever. As you might expect, the “extra” parts are all about enhancing the 6 Series GT’s looks and performance capabilities. The parts and accessories may be short on actual engine upgrades, but for the most part, the pieces are there to give the massive sedan the necessary modifications that will enhance the car’s aesthetic and aerodynamic features. Even better, Bimmer says that prospective customers of the 6 Series GT stand to get the full spec of accessories made available to them as soon as the model hits the market. There’s a long list of parts to choose from so owners with budgets might have to choose wisely which bits and bobs they’d like to put on their 6 Series GTs. That or they could just get everything. BMW probably doesn’t mind either scenario.

There are plenty of options to choose from

Let’s do this cleanly so let’s start with the exterior pieces included in the 6 Series GT’s M Performance package. Apparently, glossy touches are a prime feature of the M Performance parts for the 6 Series GT. That can be seen in the saloon’s kidney grille, which looks appropriately shiny with its glossy black finish. The mirror caps also get in on the treatment as they’re now featured with casings made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Move to the actual body finish of the 6 Series GT and at least in this example, we can see how the Frozen Black foil and the black and gray matte stripes add to the sedan’s imposing physical look. And before I forget, fix your eyes on those massive 21-inch alloy wheels. Not only do they feature a two-level, double-spoke design and a two-tone finish, but they’re also hiding the upgraded braking system, yet another important feature of the M Performance Parts catalog. Up front, there are aluminum four-piston fixed red calipers and at the back, there are single-piston calipers.

Step inside and, well, there’s nothing much in the way of photos to get a good look at what BMW is offering. However, BMW does offer plenty in the way of upgrades to the cabin. One of the most prominent of these upgrades is the M Performance sports steering wheel with a little bit of motor racing touch to it. For one, it has grip areas covered in Alcantara. It also has large thumb rests, soft Nappa leather in the upper and lower sections of the wheel, a silver-gray cross-stitch seam, and a red central tab at the 12 o’clock position of the wheel. Move past the M Performance steering wheel and the list of interior upgrades available to the 6 Series GT is finished off by M-branded floor mats.

There are no engine upgrades available (no surprises there) but BMW is offering a sporty exhaust system, specifically for the 630i and 640i xDrive variants of the 6 Series Gran Turismo. According to Bimmer, the optional exhaust system features a stainless steel silencer and can be had with either round or trapezoid tips, finished in carbon fiber or chrome, depending on the specific variant of the 6 Series GT. Those who go for the round tips will get an extra treat of an engraved “M” logo on the tips while those who choose the trapezoid tips will instead get “M Performance” lettering.

BMW has yet to announce how much the M Performance parts for the 6 Series GT will cost. We do know that the German automaker has plans to showcase the model at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show this September ahead of a market launch that’s scheduled at the tail end of the year. Hopefully, we’ll get all the juicy details like pricing sooner than later.
