This 6-Speed V10 BMW M6 Is The Ultimate Straight-Piped M Car! 

FYI M6 Coupes weigh under 3800 pounds. I don't know why everyone thinks they weigh more than they do. I own a manual one myself. I've also seen owners pull weight from it and get it under 3500 pounds. Another misconception is its reliability. While yes, it can be troublesome and very expensive, this is just the reality of owning a V10 and shouldn't be compared to the ownership of an ordinary BMW. Many like to bash on it after picking up a SMG car with 50-100,000 miles for ~20,000 USD. The truth is most of these cars were beat on their entire life and they are a ticking time bomb especially if those rod bearings have never been touched. Oil changes from dealers can cost up to $400 recommended every 3,000 miles or less. Most using these as dailies won't take them in for service as often as they need to. It has 10 throttle bodies, a compression ratio of 12:1, and most are retuned aggressively. It is truly derived from the 2004 Williams-BMW f1 motor. The only production engines similar to this are the original 5.0 Gallardo and the Carrera GT. If you give it the attention that it needs, these motors run very well all considering. Fingers crossed I haven't had any issues on mine up to 41,000 miles.

My perfect spec, i always wanted a V10 M6 in Interlagos Blue with three pedals

BMW´s with stickshift is just the dream

One of the greatest engines ever!! I own the M5 version with the 6 speed manual as well..Never selling it!!

The 4,400 pounds you quoted is for the M5. The M6 actually is fairly light for what it is coming in at 3,770. Which is only a few hundred pounds more than the E92 M3.

The e63/64 getting the praise it deserves. Thank you sir, and my new rod bearings thank u as well!

Greatest sounding motor BMW ever made. The S85 is a legend🤌🏼

Not a bmw fan but this is by far the best looking car they have ever done

BMW V10 Symphony

I have a E64 M6 manual. Top down, revving up to 8,250, and bang into the next gear, it's pure nirvana!!

I couldn't skip a second, because I didn't want to miss any of these amazing exhaust sounds. Entertaining cut!

i think its beautiful. its designed so well and subtle that people dont often notice it until theyve owned one and really looked at it. this car doesnt have angles. every line flows.

BMW should have made a Z8 type car with this engine and gearbox.

To clear up the information, only 323 manual M6 cars (~1500 E60 M5s) of the E63 generation were produced. The looks have aged exceptionally well and will continue to do so. In 10-20 years it will rise as one of the best and most sought after BMW cars of all time. Like musicians, they and their music are most appreciated after their death/time. I loved my e92 M3 and can not wait to get another as well as a manual M6. Bangle era cars are amazing and time will clearly show this.

This car is literally perfect in every single possible way.....

I love my S65, but the s85 V10 sound is hard to beat 🙌

Wow there's barely any views or comments here, how does this have so little views? Excellent content as always!

@Roads Untraveled always nails it with the audio!

Great video. My daily drive is a BMW M6 Competition, and I love it!

its a rare car and sounds awesome. My friend owns one and unfortunately gives him nothing but problems. I think he's lost count in the thousands he's spent maintaining it. I use to sell bmw's a while back and owned a e46 m3. Lets just say I've learned my lesson. You really need to love these cars and have no other car in mind to maintain them and have zero regrets. Although most of the owners will never admit if it was reliable and if my M3 was i would still own it, it's not just cost its time and headache you deal with and as you get older you have little patience.

It's kinda ironic how North America got the M5/M6 with a manual transmission option while the rest of us got shifted exclusively getting it with the SMG Automatic

Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So good!

Fantastic presentation of the brilliant car...

One of my all time favorite cars

Very nice tuck n roll

sounds just like my M5.... Love it

There will never be anything like this vehicle and the SMG 3 is the ultimate driving experience for the S85.

Who tried to clean the dot off their screen? 😂

Was a fun car back in the day. I would always do launch control. Had the SMG version however

owned a e60 m5 smg and yeh they are amazing even the smg nothing else like else 2 bmws, can’t wait till I own that m6 e63 next a must own car for me and kinda cool that the internet scares everyone from them aswell hopefully means I can get one cheap and build it properly

Beautiful sound. Some money 💰 for maintenance and im happy

Just seen this car on Craigslist had to come check it out

Perfect

The S85 V10 put into an e92 M3 = perfect BMW

I beg to differ on the looks comments in the video which is subjective. The e63 m6 is by far the best looking machine bmw has ever produced. Especially when lowered.

You can buy them now for under $25k with under 50k miles. What a steal

Very Nice Performante beater

Well between this video and Doug Demuro we better get one now bc u just raised the price on them thanks a lot lol 😂

Dream Car right there!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR AND THAT BLUE COLOR OMG 😱 GOD BLESS THIS WORLD 🌎 !!!!

I personally don’t like the dumps off the exhaust....I love the engine but hate how the M6’s look....I’ve driven a few and they drive terrible and to me look terrible. The e60 M5 looks so much better as well as the e92 M3....my current garage has both these plus an e46 M3....I just wish this engine went into something more exotic. I also have only bought the transmission my cars were originally designed with. DCT in my e92, manual in my e46 M3, and an smg in my M5. Great content!

Pre-LCI get them while there low. If anyone cares to travel there a E60 M5 (SMG) for sale in the New Orleans area on FB Marketplace for $17k. Not sure if the rod bearings have been done but that’s a smoking deal.

Even though my fastest cars are orbital autos or DCTs I still enjoy driving peppy or big torquey cars with manuals the S85 engine just doesn't pair well with a manual. BMW made the right decision with making their primary engineering focus making the best feasible semi-auto transmission at the time. With the SMGIII in S6 mode you'll find every experience in a manual e6x M car a bit lacking.

This is for me the single hardest BMW ever produced

Lexus LFA, Dodge Viper and the Lamborghini Huracan all have V10's but I totally agree with you, this v10 M6 is special.

Holy shit 😍😍🔥

May these even show up as competition sport lightweight Wit all Say Motor

M6 is too Beast!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Side on these look special. And I'm an e46 M3 owner.

I'm looking at a 2009 one right now, high miles, but damn.... 500HP !!!!

Nice from every angle apart from the front. I do prefer the E60 though

I didn’t even know the m6 came in a v10 spec thought it was only the 2010 m5’s

I have one of 323 in Vancouver

Omg that sound... it's a bit like the Lexus LFA

BMW homologation King

This is not my favorite looking bimmer by any means but, its powertrain is amazing. I wish more cars had a V10.

This dude lookin like a young Houston Crosta lol

16:48 the other M6 almost goes sideways xD

BMW with no dash light now that’s rare lol.

These are skyrocketing in value for manuals.. so rare, so special.

99% of car channels swoon over manuals, but buyers only buy 1% manuals I don't hate manuals, I enjoy driving them, but people (almost exclusively in America) can't seem to discuss a car with a manual trans, without acting like it's some amazing invention.

SRT Viper with a V10 and a manual transmission is another car in the category

What diameter are the exhaust dumps

one of the 300 something is sitting in my garage :)

Is this by Pit Lake?

One of my favorite designed cars, as far as looks go. I've seen high mileage M5 manuals sell for $10k, I think manual M6's are less common tho.

Manual 😍💯👍🏽

Fun fact: the v8 m6 manual is more rare than the v10. I think there were like 70 made according to Doug’s video on the second gen m6

Within the Top 5 best cars I'll never own.

We never got a manual m6 in UK:(

Which year is this one

Dodge viper manual baby common !

Hva så Rene Mammen :)

Love them and love this colour. Unfortunately they're still not cheap where I live. I only have a 645ci. Maybe one day.

Full Aston Martin Vantage Bentley CSL

This looks immensely better than the M5

I know one of the problems is the original cat pipes. If u change it to an aftermarket one, the problems is solved

sounds like a Huracan that V10 noise

So, did he get the free oil change? :)

Better exhaust out there...

that's the problem only in America they Built the hand shifter from M5 and the M6 V10 and in Germany and as a Austrian packet not!!!🤔😭

Whats the mileage of this car?

He said "big" displacement lol

If you approach an owner, never mention reliability. Unless you're a therapist.

The most slept on car I've ever owned. Put a short shift kit and the F10 knob in and it's even better.

Sounds most like a high-revving 4-cylinder. It's amazing how adding to pots completely ruins the perfection of the V8 sound...

It is 3700lbs not upwards of 4400lbs

I have an identical M6. Mine is a Manual 2007 M6 Interlagos blue with red interior and $19,000 on Dinan parts installed.

this car is very beautiful looking........ dude you tripping when you said that it's not and i love your face expression when he goes smg is way faster lol you look sad lmaooooo

S85B50 WAS BUILT FOR SMG NOT FOR MANUAL THE GEARS ARE OFF WITH THE MANUAL GEARBOX

I love how it sounds chaotic and dieselish in around 800 rpm and then revs come up and it sounds like F1 from this age. ♥

Forgot about the dodge viper bruhh

They should of upgrade that engine and put it in the I8 ... and then end it... The I8 would of been a epic car

viper

they shouldve put this engine in an i8.

and Porsche GT

I would do unholy things for this exact car

RS Real Nigga Shiit

"What other V10 manual cars are there? None" Laughs in Viper Ok, maybe right now there aren't anymore, but up until 2017 the Viper was king of the V10 NA manual monsters. More of a street legal racecar than a GT car and that is why I must have one!
