The M6 is becoming a rare vehicle: it has been critically acclaimed throughout its lifespan for its elegant, aggressive "shark-nose" styling, luxury equipment, and top performance. The M6 was second fastest production BMW ever built next to the M1. In 1989 an M6 ran the La Carrera Classic Race in Mexico and reportedly recorded a top speed of 176 mph. Today, the M6 is a well-sought after collector's car, and getting more valuable all the time. It can be distinguished from other E24 models by a larger front air dam, a rear spoiler, BBS wheels, color matching side view mirrors, M badges on the grille and back, and slightly larger front brakes. In North America (United States and Canada), the E24 M6 was fitted with the catalyzed S38B35 motor, producing 256 bhp. The M6 was a "world car" with the same bumpers and aerodynamic treatments in all markets. The American version of the M6 achieved 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in a time of 6.8 seconds. Car and Driver Magazine tested the American M6 and achieved 0–60 mph in 6.1 seconds. Road and Track featured a U.S. M6 as one of the 10 fastest cars in America. Production of the M6 ended in 1989, with 5,859 cars sold, with only 1,767 were imported to North America. Here's the NADA Book Values for this automobile: Original MSRP: $55,900; Low Retail: $8,500; Average Retail: $13,400, and High Retail: $20,400. This M6 is in good to excellent condition. It's fast and drives as good as it looks. It is ready for the open road, and it can be driven anywhere. HISTORY: I have owned the car about 5 years and originally purchased it from North Carolina. The car has well cared for and in good shape. During my ownership, the car has continued to remain in great running condition. ENGINE: New oil pan and new headers. New generator, and all belts replaced. Recent tune-up, three new injectors, recent good compression test (cylinder 1: 144, cylinder 2: 146, cylinder 3: 150, cylinder 4: 152, cylinder 5: 150, and cylinder 6: 150, with 5% variation and normal range being 142-156 psi). Recent exhaust headers put on both engine sides. New alternator and alternator bracket. Replaced aluminum oil pan. New nitrogen ball for powering steering unit. Fresh oil & filter, new power steering fluid & and recent tune up. Engine always fires right up. BODY: This is an original southern car which, to my knowledge, has always been garaged and never smoked in. There is absolutely no rust and the BMW Arctic Blau paint is in excellent condition. The repaint was a year ago and looks excellent. It is a two stage paint with clear coat (total cost was $4100). INTERIOR: The interior is in good to excellent condition with only some minor wear on the drivers seat. The original dash is in excellent condition but it does a crack. The rear deck & speaker pods are also in excellent condition. Original Becker Blaupunkt stereo system. Three way power seats, and heated. Both work. All power windows work, so does the electric sun roof. Air conditioning works, but it will need some work. Headliner is in excellent condition. Carpet is original and in good condition.

Trans. & Diff. fluid is fresh with Redline oils. New clutch, nice tight. SUSPENSION & STEERING: Front suspension has new upper & lower control arms, center link, bushings and struts (Bilstein). Original leveling suspension, accumulators and lines and work perfect. Period correct BBS alloy wheels in great condition. BRAKES: Tires and brakes are in good condition, lots of stopping power. Right caliper needs adjustment and can pull a little to the right. FINANCING: Financing may be considered. Half down with payments over 6 months. Title provided after full balance is paid. Must have full comprehensive insurance on vehicle during payment period. Please contact me prior to bidding if you interested in this option. SUMMARY: So there you have it. Overall, this M6 is in good to excellent condition. It is not a perfect vehicle, so it is priced reasonably. Feel free to drive it home. I have clear VA title in hand. Also have lots of paperwork and the owner's manual. Vehicle is available for local sale, so I have discretion to end the auction early.
