The Appeal

“And what could be more gratifying than leather-lined opulence hurled down the road by 500 horsepower?” - asked Car & Driver in their 2006 road test of the then brand-new E63 BMW M6.

A good question indeed, and if you’re answer is a resounding “yes”, then we’re positively thrilled to report that the time has come to fulfil that dream and get behind the wheel of your very own V10-engined M6. Seventeen years on, we must say that the prospect still sounds immensely appealing.

This example is a great one too, with a mere 60,184 miles on the clock and reportedly benefitting full service history. The vendor informs us that all the typical M6 foibles have been attended too, including VANOS and various other troublesome actuators, resulting in this being an exceedingly well-sorted example. It’s also been garaged since the vendor acquired it in 2020, ensuring the paintwork and underside aren't subjected full-time to the UK’s damp climate. The advisory-free MOT runs until November 2024, so this BMW is ready to be enjoyed.
