BMW prices the M6 Cabriolet

Three top Caterham CSRs cost little more

---

Launch of the M6 Convertible

BMW has priced the M6 Convertible -- the highlight of BMW’s stand at the British International Motorshow and which goes on sale next month -- at an eye-watering £86,400.

Powered by the 5.0-litre V10 International Engine of the Year and using a host of F1-derived technology, the BMW M6 Convertible combines all the performance of the M6 Coupé but with the added luxury of open-air motoring.

What else can you buy for that sort of money? A Porsche 997 Cabriolet S retails for £74,910 plus options, you could buy a near-new Aston Martin V8 Vantage, or how about a Maserati Spyder? An open-topped Mercedes 63 AMG costs less. Or how about (almost) three Caterham CSR200s?

But then, you don't get 507bhp in any of them....

Supurb Engine, but package overpriced as a whole.

Should make a good second hand buy after the hit...
