It was replaced, after a16 year hiatus by the E63 Series. BMW used amodified version of the M88/M1 engine, denoted the M88/3 and put it in the E24(6 Series) chassis in 1983 to make the M635CSI, which the vehicle was called inEurope. When it came to North America in Catalysed form in 1987, it was simplycalled the M6 and it cost heady $58,750 before options and tax. The M635/M6 went out of production in 1989.The 24 Valve 3.5L inline produced 286hp in European (non-cat) trim, and 256hpfor the North American version. Standardequipment on the North American vehicles included many items that were optionalin Europe, including Self Levelling rear suspension, heated power seats, and an8 speaker sound system. The M6 waswidely praised by enthusiasts and the automotive press when new, and was one ofthe fastest vehicles sold in the late 1980’s. Road and Track named it one of the10 fastest vehicles for sale in America, and it ran to 158mph in R&T’s topspeed test. Along with thesimilarly powered M5 which was introduced in 1984, and the E30 M3 which cameout in 1986, the M6 created the BMW ‘M’ car brand which has defined BMW performancemachines for decades. These early Mcars are all ‘Youngtimer’ Classics and have seen strong appreciation over thelast years, in concert with many other limited production performance cars ofthe 80’s and 90’s. These cars are the 'bedroom wall' cars of generation of buyers who are now entering their peak earning years, and can indulge in their teenage car fantasies. About this BMW M6 This M6 wasdelivered new into Montreal, Quebec and stayed with its first owner for itsfirst years, and was then sold into Calgary to the owner of large GMdealership. In Calgary the car had 4owners (2 of which have sold cars to inthe past-LR), and was purchased in January from the last owner, an engineer,who was thinning his collection down from 12 or so collector vehicles. The M6 was purchased together with 1994Porsche 928GTS, which is offered concurrently for sale. There wassome debate about whether the mileage showing on the odometer was correct,given that the car had speedo replacement by the BMW dealer at 15,596km when it was afew years old. thorough investigationinto the service records and the stamped maintenance books indicates that themileage on the odometer has under-recorded the 15,596km, so the actual mileageof the car is in fact 88,xxx rather than the 72,xxx indicated. Not that it matters, 88,000km or about 55,000miles is still very low for 1987 M6, most have more than double that amount. To be totally clear about this; this M6 had the speedo replacement done at the selling Dealer, Canbec, in Montreal. The Speedo replacement was recorded in the maintenance books. It was also recorded in the computerized service invoice system. Every subsequent visit to Canbec, and later at T&T BMW in Calgary, recorded the adjusted mileage on the shop invoices, not the odometer reading. When the car first visited an independent, Reigal Tuning in Calgary, the mileage was shown as the odometer reading, not the true mileage. A later service invoice at Calgary BMW makes notation of this, and adds by hand 15,596km to the invoice. Subsequent invoices at specialists Alpine Autowerks record the Odometer reading only. bought the car thinking the 72k was original, and it wasn't until preparing this auction description and mapping out the service work that came to this conclusion. In the youtube videos mention and show the odometer reading,which understates the mileage by 15,596km. I'm hoping potential buyers appreciate me not just throwing out the later invoices!-LR The conditionof the car is remarkable for its age. Itis completely unmodified, has had no accidents, wears its original paint(please see the paint meter readings in the Flickr album), and the interiorleather is still very supple showing no evidence of sun damage. The car hasbeen recently reconditioned without regard to cost. full service that included fluids, beltsand filters, timing, valve adjustment, rebuild of the rear suspension, sorting variousoil leaks, coolant expansion tank, thermostat, exhaust system, subframebushings and mounts, control arm and battery was just completed at cost of $13,691. (the work was done by Alpine Autowerks who are my preferred specialists for older German Cars) Additionally the car was treated to new setof Michelin TRX metric tires, which were standard on the M6 as well as Ferraris’of the era, and are being reproduced by Coker tire. The bill was $3,000 for these tires landed inCanada. Add to that 25 hours of detailand presentation work, some miscellaneous costs, and the bill for reconditioning the car is close to$20,000. Driving thecar is delightful with its light but precise shift lever, jewel-like enginethat makes sophisticated, aggressive noises (never would the cliche 'mechanical symphony' be better applied), nicely damped suspension, preciseturn-in, and comfortable ride. Visibility is truly panoramic, with its up-right seating and large glassarea. It is practical machine too:with rear seats very suitable for children or even adults for short distances, anda large trunk. It is really lovely thing. It looks nice too. The PaulBracq designed ‘Shark’ E24 is universally admired for its elegance, and it isarguably the last conventionally beautiful BMW. No 'flame surfacing' or 'challenging design language' here...Just classical beautiful proportions and fine detailing. Bracq also designed some very beautiful and influential Mercedes-Benz, including the 'Pagoda' 230/250/280 SL, and the magnificent SE Coupes of the 60's and early 70's as well as the 'Grand' 600.The series engine, designed by Power Guru Paul Roche, with itsindividual throttle butterflies on full display in the engine compartment comesright from the M1 Supercar, and is truly glorious. Roche’s other engines include the 1,500hpBrabham-BMW F1 engine, and the V12 6.0L masterpiece in the original McLaren F1 roadcar – which also has the distinction of winning LeMans on its first attempt. Roche was one of the centuries great engine designers, can can be legitimately compared to other legends Vittorio Jano (Ferrari, Fiat, Alfa Romeo) and Hans Mezger (Porsche). To drive this 30 year old car, you really do wonder about automotive progress... Clearly new vehicles are faster and safer (though the increased safety is mitigated by them being faster!), have connectivity and apps etc. But if you compare this to new series, the E24 has more room in the cabin, infinitely better visibility, more trunk space, far better ride, is much prettier, sounds better, and when you open the bonnet, you see gorgeous engine that has genuine motorsport heritage. The originalM6 really has so much going for it. Beauty, Style and Elegance. Arace-bred powerplant. Rarity. These are all the ingredients for afirst-tier collector car. And the markethas responded, pushing the prices of all the original series cars up sharply. With less than 1,800 to start with there arefew North American M6’s that are still in really nice shape. Fewer still that retain their expensiveself-levelling rear suspension, and barely any running on their correct wheels andtires. There are no disappointmentswith this M6. It works as garage art. Itworks as an investment. It works as practical classic. It works as driversmachine. Any automotive enthusiast will appreciate this car, and it would be welcome addition to even the most impressive automotive collection.
