M6

[Pondrew]

Does anyone know anything about the 4.4 twin turbo V8 fitted to the later M6?
As this is a BMW forum, I thought there maybe someone who knows. Any known issues?

[pvr]

Think that is the same as in my X5M, 575 bhp.

Touch wood, no issues at all. Rather,uh, quick

[Pondrew]

I think it is the S63 engine?

[pvr]

That is what mine is. Fantastic engine, and even in the X5 it is quicker than my Porsche

You are saying all the right things

[pvr]

Did I mention the sound yet?

M6 - you will buy a VXR Corsa

Just cos you've got to spend your money on expensive bathroom tiles. Been there done that; many, many times

Did I mention the sound yet?

No but please tell. I will admit the noise of the V8 and I have a child-like hankering for 4 exhausts, while that is still allowed, is one of my main reasons for looking at them. And the 6 series is a pretty car.

I have spent the last six months "umming and erring" about what car I want. I bought the chav-mobile as a sensible compromise.
As it turned out, I have made good money on it, so I now want a car that I really want, not need. The M6 vert ticks all those boxes and sod the depreciation and running costs.

Thats the way to be Les - only here once and it is not a dress rehearsal, you can't take it with you so just enjoy it while you can

Yep - I always try to be sensible but when it comes to cars then screw it, its my hobby so I buy what I want when I can, the only reason I don't have a 35iS is that I am refusing a house big time and its bloody annoying as Tiglon has my sodding car

Just bloody buy and enjoy the hell out of it - that Focus is made for 30 year old boy racers who need to get to the waste recycling centre in a hurry, great car but not exciting to me

My plan is to get the ball-and-chain to take to an M6 vert, then I can sell the Z4 too and will be back with just the three cars:o
