Description from the seller
BMW M6 E64 Convertible – 2008 – 5.0 V10
The letter M has a special meaning within BMW. BMW Motorsport GmbH was founded in 1972 to professionalize BMW’s motorsport activities. What began as a relatively small motorsport department grew into the division behind some of the brand’s most characterful high-performance street cars. Models such as the M1, M3, M5 and M6 were developed according to a clear principle: combine the basis of a regular BMW with substantially further-developed engines, suspensions, braking systems and drivetrains.
The M6 history began in the eighties with the E24 M635CSi/M6, closely related to the legendary M1 and now regarded as a classic BMW M-model. When BMW reintroduced the M6 name in 2005, an exceptional drivetrain was chosen once again.
This example is a BMW M6 Convertible from 2008, finished in the particularly striking Interlagos Blue Metallic. The V10 is paired with the 7-speed SMG III Drivelogic transmission and powers the rear wheels via the active M Variable Differential Lock.
With a 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h, the M6 combined supercar-level performance with the luxury and comfort of a four-seater BMW Gran Turismo at the time.
CARROZZERIA/PAINTWORK:
The body is finished in Interlagos Blue Metallic, a distinctive BMW M color that presents the lines of the E64 particularly well. The paint is well-kept and has a lovely metallic luster. The long hood, low nose, wide wheel arches and athletic rear give the M6 a clearly different appearance from a regular 6-series.
The specific M body parts include, among others, the M-front bumper with large air openings, characteristic M-side gills in the fenders, M-rear apron with integrated diffuser, subtly integrated rear spoiler and the four round chromed exhaust tips.
BMW applied lightweight materials to the M6. The body combines conventional materials with lightweight components to minimize weight and keep the center of gravity favorable.
The electrically operated fabric convertible top makes the M6 a fully open four-seat Gran Turismo in a short time. The roof and connections present themselves as well-kept. The rubbers, windows, lighting and other bodywork finishes give a well-maintained impression. The car features Shadowline exterior trim, illuminated door handles and electrically foldable, heated and automatically dimming M exterior mirrors.
At the front are adaptive Xenon headlights with automatic level control, the characteristic BMW illuminated rings and a headlight cleaning system. Rain sensor and heated windshield washer nozzles are also part of the equipment.
TECHNICAL:
The absolute centerpiece of this M6 is the S85 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V10. The 4,999 cc engine features 40 valves, aluminum cylinder heads and block, M high-pressure Double-VANOS and individually electronically controlled intake valves for each cylinder.
The engine delivers 500 hp / 507 PS / 373 kW at 7,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 520 Nm at 6,100 rpm. It is a matching-numbers specimen.
What’s special about the S85 is the way the engine delivers its performance. Unlike later M-models with turbo tech, there is no forced induction: power is built purely naturally aspirated and the V10 is explicitly developed to rev high.
Lubrication uses a G-sensor semi-dry-sump system, developed to maintain a reliable oil supply even under high lateral and longitudinal loads. Ionic-current knock control, individual individual coil packs and Double-VANOS are also part of the advanced engine technology.
The V10 is linked to the 7-speed SMG III Drivelogic transmission. The system offers various shift programs that allow the driver to tailor the speed and character of the gear actions. The transmission can shift automatically or be operated manually.
Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels. The M Variable Differential Lock distributes the drive power between the rear wheels and supports traction in sporty use.
Via MDrive, various vehicle settings can be combined and saved. The driver can use this to adjust, among other things, engine response and power setting, shift programs, Electronic Damping Control and DSC settings.
The M Sport suspension differs significantly from that of a regular 6-series. Aluminum double-pivot construction is used for the front, with M-specific tuning; at the rear is an independent four-link M Sport suspension. Electronic Damping Control (EDC) makes it possible to adjust the damper characteristics to driving conditions and the driver’s preference.
The braking system was also developed specifically for the M6’s performance. Large, ventilated and cross-drilled M compound brake discs are fitted all around.
The M Servotronic power steering is speed-sensitive and offers different M Dynamics settings.
INTERIOR:
The M6 interior combines the luxury of BMW’s then-top-class Gran Turismo with distinctive BMW M elements. The driver looks out over the characteristic M instrument cluster, with white-illuminated gauges, oil temperature gauge and a tachometer whose redline reflects engine temperature.
At the center is the MDrive system, enabling the driver to select a personal combination of engine response, transmission program, EDC damper setting and DSC configuration. The electrically adjustable M sport seats feature extensive 18-way adjustment, electric lumbar support, adjustable thigh support, adjustable side bolsters, seat heating and a driver memory function.
Climate control is implemented as a comprehensive automatic three-zone climate control, including automatic recirculation, residual heat function, active-carbon filter, humidity control and sun sensor.
The iDrive system combines the onboard computer with BMW navigation, an 8.8-inch 16:9 display, vehicle functions, phone functions, TeleService, voice control and traffic information.
This example is also equipped with a number of attractive factory options. The Head-Up Display projects important driving information in the driver’s line of sight, while Comfort Access makes opening and using the car easier without operating the key conventionally. Soft-Close Automatic Doors electrically pull the doors shut.
The interior is further finished with Carbon Fiber Black Interior Trim, matching the technical character of the M6. The heated steering wheel enhances comfort in colder weather.
The Enhanced Premium Sound system handles the audio, while the iPod- and USB-connectors provide additional connection options. High Beam Assistant supports the driver on night drives.
Among the other comfort and interior features are Park Distance Control for and aft, automatically dimming mirrors, electric windows, BMW ambient lighting, electrically adjustable steering column, onboard computer, tire pressure monitoring, vehicle and key memory and the comprehensive BMW Check Control system.
DOCUMENTS:
The BMW is supplied with a USA title and European/Dutch import documentation.
All applicable European import duties and VAT have already been paid.
Additionally, the original window sticker is supplied with the car. This documents the original factory specification and additional options of this specimen.
The M6 was equipped with $4,650 worth of additional factory options on top of the standard M6 specification. These include a heated steering wheel (code 248, $200), Comfort Access (code 322, $1,000), Soft-Close Automatic Doors (code 323, $600), Carbon Fiber Black Interior Trim (code 4MC, $300), High Beam Assistant (code 5AC, $250), Head-Up Display (code 610, $1,200), iPod & USB Adapter (code 6FL, $400) and Enhanced Premium Sound (code 752, $700). Total original value of additional factory options: $4,650.
The original documentation thus forms a nice complement to this richly equipped M6 and makes clear how the car was assembled when new.
EQUIPMENT:
The M6 already comes with an exceptionally extensive equipment list by default. In safety terms this includes multiple front and side airbags, active knee airbags, belt tensioners and force limiters, tire pressure monitoring, Active Crash Safety Management and the BMW Intelligent Safety & Information System.
The interior combines the 18-way electrically adjustable and heated M sport seats with three-zone automatic climate control, MDrive, navigation, iDrive with an 8.8-inch display, Park Distance Control for and aft, BMW ambient lighting, onboard computer, vehicle- and key memory and an extensive audio system.
On the exterior, the M6 stands out with Shadowline finish, M-side gills, M-front and rear bumpers, integrated rear spoiler, four chromed exhaust tips, adaptive Xenon lighting and electrically foldable, heated M mirrors.
Technically, the car features, among other things, Electronic Damping Control, M Servotronic, M Variable Differential Lock, M Sport suspension, ventilated cross-drilled M compound brake discs, 19-inch M wheels and of course the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V10 in combination with the 7-speed SMG III Drivelogic transmission.
