Driven: BMW M6 Convertible
"Find a tunnel long enough and you'll be convinced that world poverty has been wiped out and George W Bush has announced his retirement to a golden palace in Baghdad. Nothing apart from that V10 matters - it is one truly amazing engine, even if you need to be best buddies with some rich oil sheikh to be able to keep the V10's thirst for petrol in check."
"But what's even more impressive with the M6 Convertible is just how much of a driver's car it is. Sure, it's no lithe balletic performer - it tips the scales at over two tonnes and its shear size means that narrow roads need to be tackled with care - but find a stretch of road that's wide and open and it rewards you with a blistering performance."
"It's a remarkably stiff car, there's no shaking or twisting that can affect convertibles. It feels as solid as the coupe - which is no bad thing considering the stresses all the componentry goes through it trying to reign in that V10."
