Our own Chris Paukert recently spent some time getting to know the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/07/2012-bmw-6-series-convertible-first-drive-review-road-test/">2012 BMW 6 Series Convertible, and he did so under the hot South African sun</a>. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> 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 <em>up</em>.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/07/spy-shots-bmw-m6-convertible-takes-to-the-track/">running on a track and making good use of its rumored 560 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque</a>. 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.<br />
