Registration No: YF56 LVY
Chassis No: WBSEK92020B392073
MOT: November 2024
Evoking memories of the iconic M635 CSi model of the late 1980s, BMW’s M Division turned their attention to the 6 Series and the resulting M6 debuted in 2005. Utilising the 5-litre V10 of the M5 saloon, performance was prodigious, the unrestricted unit allegedly being capable of 205mph although the UK version was limited to a still licence-threatening 155mph. Keeping all this performance under control was BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control and further safety features including brake drying, brake pre-tensioning and brake fade compensation. Complete with a Head Up Display Unit, amongst other electronic wizardry, the specification included a host of interior comforts as expected from an £80,000 offering. When new the car was as expensive as both a high specification Porsche 911 or Aston Martin V8 Vantage, making a second hand buy a relative bargain when compared to its opposition at the time.
Costing the princely sum of £86,185 when new, this particular V10 powered BMW M6 Convertible is presented in the ever-popular Sapphire Black Metallic with matching Merino Black leather interior. Boasting factory options including an extended leather pack, Bluetooth, high-beam assist, BMW Assist and more, the car currently displays just c.52,500 miles on the odometer. Having been in current ownership since January 2022, the car was subject to replacement rear brake discs, pads and calipers in 2007, shortly after its purchase in February the following month, the air conditioning system re-gassed on the 24th August 2022 and the most recent service in September 2023; with under 200 miles having been covered since. During this service, it was advised to replace a brake pipe and the wiper blades, so this was also completed.
With an MOT valid until 28th November 2024, this M6 comes accompanied with a small history file containing previous receipts and invoices for work completed, the V5C document which displays 7 former keepers and further sundry documents. The vendor notes the headlining has a small tear which may benefit from some attention, the chromework has previously been sprayed in Black with the paint now lifting in places and the registration will be removed prior to sale. The previous registration, ‘YF56 LVY’ will be returned to the vehicle.
