Spy Shots: BMW M6 convertible caught frolicking in the snow - Click above for high-res image gallery
Our own Chris Paukert recently spent some time getting to know the 2012 BMW 6 Series Convertible, and he did so under the hot South African sun (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/07/2012-bmw-6-series-convertible-first-drive-review-road-test/). BMW (http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/) engineers are busy testing their upcoming hi-po M6 droptop, but they're doing so in a place where the top is definitely going to stay up.
Spy photographers have caught the powerful two-door out playing in the snow during winter testing. Last time we saw the camouflaged convertible, it was out running on a track and making good use of its rumored 560 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/07/spy-shots-bmw-m6-convertible-takes-to-the-track/). This time around we imagine that whoever's behind the wheel is going to be a bit more conservative with the throttle. Check out the cold-weather testing of the BMW M6 convertible in the gallery below.
