Used 1987 BMW M6 Base

This 1987 BMW M6 was delivered new to British Columbia, Canada and lived in the greater BC area until being imported to the United States in 2015. Upon its importation, the car made its first trip through Enthusiast Auto Group, at which time it showed just 33,104 km on its Canadian gauge cluster. Currently the car shows 55,319 km or less than 35,000 miles and remains in outstanding condition. Finished in Salmon Silver Metallic, this is a very original car and retains features like the metric-sized BBS basketweave wheels, which are frequently swapped for larger, more modern replacements. The exterior of the M6 features numerous features that differentiate it from the lower trim level 635CSi, which included a deep, body color front air dam, and a rubber decklid spoiler. A pair of M6 badges with the colors of the Motorsport flag sit within the shark nosed grille up front, and on the corner of the trunklid. ‍When new, the M6 was about the most expensive BMW available, just edged out by the range topping long wheelbase V12 750il. In light of this, the M6’s interior was extremely luxurious and featured high quality leather throughout the cabin. Finished in black, leather covers the seats, door cards, center console, steering wheel and rear center armrest. The front seats are a pair of supportive Recaros with full power adjustments, and in the rear, sculpted bucket seats offer more space than the M6’s main competition the Porsche 928, and an auxiliary air conditioning unit for the rear of the cabin, ensures they stay nice and cool too. The M-Tech 1 steering wheel is a BMW Motorsport hallmark of this era and gives the car a truly classic look and feel. ‍Under the hood of the M6 sits the S38B35, this is a modified variant of the M88/3 which was found in the European market cars, and was designed to meet stricter emissions regulations around the world. That being said, this was still very much a Motorsport engine and is what makes the E24 M6 so beloved. Utilizing dual overhead camshafts and individual throttlebodies, the S38B35 in M6 trim produces 256 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, and will happily rev all the way to its 6,900 rpm fuel cutoff. Although this engine is slightly down on power over the Euro variants, BMW installed a shorter rear gear to keep the acceleration rapid- resulting in a 0-60 mph time of just 6.1 seconds and a top speed exceeding 140 mph. This engine is run through a Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox, to a limited slip rear differential. The suspension was also heavily reworked, ensuring both planted high-speed stability, and surefooted backroads carving, all while remaining supple and retaining the grand touring nature of the vehicle. ‍There was no better way to show your success in 1987 than pulling up to your country club in your new M6. Maybe we are a bit stuck in the past at EAG but we still think this is one of the ultimate statement cars to ever come from BMW. From the silky, rev-happy engine, to the comfortable, no nonsense interior, the M6 makes you feel special, which to us, makes the car pretty special as well.
