2012 BMW M6 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2012 BMW M6 marks the change of engine: a turbocharged 4.4L V8 with double overhead camshafts on gasoline replaces the ten-cylinder, and for this year the only body listed is the two-door convertible in Base trim. Forced induction moves the service emphasis toward the charge-air, cooling and lubrication circuits, and those sections carry their own procedures, pressure and temperature specifications and torque values alongside the engine assembly material.

Engines covered

• 4.4L V8 — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 2-door convertible

Trims covered

• Base

Known issues on the 2012 M6. A convertible adds work that a fixed-roof car never needs, and the body sections here cover the top mechanism, its drive and sealing, the rear structure and the glass, with the adjustment procedures that keep the roof operating correctly. The mechanical chapters run in parallel: turbocharged V8 repair and diagnosis, gearbox, propeller shaft and rear axle work, damper and spring replacement with the steering figures that follow it, brake overhaul and stability control diagnosis, and circuit diagrams for this car's electrical systems.
