@@svstem6992 Aslo the body style is hit or miss for many. Would you buy a regular one? I like the body but its not my favorite, I would possibly consider a V8 version but it would have to be at a very good price for me to get one. V10 SMG is a costly venture just for regular maintenance, then consider the very low numbers made which makes for hard to get factory parts after 2 decades and keep getting lower in number. Parts cars are hard to get. Engine parts will be expensive if you need original heads of blocks. They will get more and more expensive to repair as time goes on.
Great vid! I have a 650 convertible, same year, great car! On another channel the oil filter cracked and lost all the oil, it's made of plastic! Suggest you change it. Happy motoring!!
Have the same car with different finish-trim. I have owned since new. 66k fabulous touring miles. They get a bad rap, but my experience has been very good given that it is an exotic car. The sound and feel are like no other. Enjoy that grin every time you start and drive. P.S. Pay extra for the Michelin Pilot Sports. They were stock and yield the perfect handling.
Beautiful color combination and a very good description of all the specs of the car. I have the small brother, the E64 645ci. Happy with the engine sound when the roof is down, and when the roof is up I put down the rear window to heard it too. 😀
It's the perception of being unreliable that makes these so cheap. And the perception of high maintenance cost. I guess someone that thinks a $300 oil change is "expensive" might think these are expensive to maintain, but an 8300rpm V10 that can go 140,000 miles, is an engineering marvel worth so much more money. In my opinion, these cars are going to start going up in value pretty soon. And judging by all the videos of people driving them at 6000rpm and above, I would say they are more along the lines of reliable. It's funny to hear a car reviewer regurgitate the "they're unreliable" narrative, as they do 8000rpm pull after pull, and cruise at 5000- 6000rpm. That's where lesser engines self destruct, this engine purrs. Amazing car!
I appreciate your comment! Each time I drive this car I love it more and more. Even in stock it sounds amazing and puts a smile on my face when I push it. Can't wait until summer, to enjoy that S85 with the top down.
I bought an '09 M6 Convertible with 57,000 miles on it. Has cost me a bit (valve actuators, battery, alternator) to get it healthy, but it is so much fun. Enjoy!
