Regardless of a few shortcomings, perhaps the best thing about the 2006 M Coupe is that it’s not overloaded with BMW technology. There’s no iDrive. There’s a normal turn signal stalk. The shifter operates intuitively, though it’s easy to accidentally engage reverse gear if you’re not paying attention. There aren’t a million different fine-tuned programs to select, tweak, disengage, and understand only after consulting a thick manual. The 2006 BMW M Coupe is a simple machine, built purely for speed, and that alone makes it worth investigation. Photos courtesy of BMW

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.

Why our customers love our dealers...
"I honestly feel that he was very prompt in his reply to my inquiry, and he also contacted me in a follow-up email to see if I was interested in any other cars he had available. In addition, he gave me his web address and told me to contact any time in the near future. I really appreciate that kind of service."
- Michele C. (Chicago, Illinois)
