The E63 M6 is possibly one of the most underrated M cars of its generation. Powered by an F1-inspired V10, 500 horsepower engine, pushed through a manual, clutchless (also F1 derived) gearbox (SMG), along with its four-door stable-mate, the E60 M5, and its V8 cousin, the E9x M3 (which is effectively the same engine with two cylinders removed) the M6 represents the very last of the naturally aspirated M cars, and is a technological masterpiece. You could quite legitimately argue that the M6 truly represents the last of an era for BMW M. With its daring design, weight-saving carbon fibre roof – which significantly lowers the centre of gravity – improving handling and maneuverability, the M6 is just that little bit more exciting than the M5. The interior design is more driver focused, more sporty, and a little less stark, and the body design leaves you in no doubt of the intent of this thrilling machine, with those massive rear arches and huge quad pipes, and those classic coupe lines.
So, with the most powerful naturally aspirated production engine ever fitted to an M car (only the V12 in the Maclaren F1 is more powerful in terms of overall BMW n/a engines altogether), head up display, a gearbox that can shift about 100 times faster than a human, incredible handling and a proper sporty interior, the M6 really is a very special car. It is also frighteningly fast, with independent tests returning a 0-60 time of under 5 seconds and a top speed of nearly 200 mph.
This particular M6 is a superb example with low mileage, good spec, in the right colour combo and with an obvious history of careful owners. In order to confirm the condition of the engine, we commissioned an oil sample test and have received confirmation from the laboratory that there is no trace of contaminates in the oil (at this mileage of course you would not expect any issue) giving the new owner peace of mind for the foreseeable future, with regard to the issue of bearing shell ‘troubles’.
Our technical team have carried out a full and detailed inspection of the car and are very happy with the results, with only a few standard wear items to be sorted before the new owner takes delivery.
