When the BMW 6 Series returned after a 20-year hiatus, the world stopped to listen for a moment. They had a reason to as the engine under its bonnet was the S85 5-liter V10 unit that wrote history a couple of years ago.
The thing is, initially BMW offered it only with the SMG automatic gearbox and for the enthusiasts that was a disappointment, especially considering the big shoes it had to fill.
Listening to the demands of the customers, BMW introduced a limited-run of manual versions and they were all destined for the North American continent. Only 701 M6 models were ever made and if you split them into coupes and convertible, the numbers are even more impressive.
For example, in Coupe guise, only 323 units were ever built, three of which only as pre-production models so what we’re looking at here, is one of only 320 cars ever made. Yes, this is a rare bird.
It’s also close to unique if we’re to take a look at the modifications the owner did to it. On the outside you’ll notice the GT Haus Meistershaft tips for the custom exhaust, StopTech brakes, KW V3 suspension (due to the lower height of the car), Macht Schnell wheel spacers all around and carbon fiber front lip.
Of course, that’s not all. There are also Turner Motorsports carbon fiber kidney grilles up front, Challenge wheel stud conversion kit, RPI intake scoops, gloss black side grilles and trunk badge and LED turn signals.
Inside things are rather stock but still looking sharp. There’s a ZHP performance shifter and custom pedals but overall, the ambience is dominated by the Indianapolis red leather, carbon fiber trims and Alcantara headliner. Yes, this is one good looking car that has the potential of becoming a collector’s item when all we see riding down the street will be electric vehicles.
