The Appeal

The E63-generation M6 remains one of the most exhilarating grand tourers of its era. Powered by a naturally aspirated S85 V10, an engine with clear motorsport lineage that revs beyond 8,000 rpm and produces 507 bhp, it was a remarkable driver's car that felt luxuriant yet endlessly muscular.

This 2006 example has been in the current owner's care for approximately three years, used for weekends and road trips. Crucially, the previous owner carried out extensive preventative maintenance on the engine, addressing many of the well-known issues associated with the S85 V10. More recently, a new clutch has been fitted, and the differential has been rebuilt. The vendor reports that the car drives well and delivers a raw, engaging experience.
