Abstract High-resolution Fourier transform spectra are presented for six M dwarfs. The wavelength range is 4000-6600 kaysers at 0.3 kayser resolution. Abundance analysis indicates that the old disk subdwarfs Gliese 15 A and 411 are metal-poor (the M/H concentration ratio = -0.35), while Gliese 205, which lies above the main sequence in the HR diagram, is metal-rich (the M/H concentration = 0.5). This correlation between luminosity and metallicity is used to obtain an upper limit to the abundance dispersion in M dwarfs of the disk population. The similarity between this result and that obtained for G dwarfs suggests a common history of chemical enrichment for these stars.
