Auto e24 M6, really?

Recommended Posts

According to the build sheet it's a 635csi that shipped with an M30, so it's definitely been re-engined, though I don't know why if you went to the trouble to put an M88 in why you wouldn't pair it with a manual trans at the same time.

No such things as an E24 M6 with an automatic gearbox!

Lovely cars, with or without a manual gearbox. I had a dolphin grey M6.

This vehicle has appeared a few times on this forum over the years.  I remember when it first arrived on the country. There was conjecture that it was a genuine factory one-off order for a wealthy Japanese customer. More likely that it was equipped with a M88/3 sometime whilst in Japan. I have always wondered how a relatively revvy engine would work mated to an auto-box. 

This car has been for sale in Christchurch, Auckland, and now in Dunedin.

There was a lovely ex UK M6 presented in dolphin grey with cream leather that resided in Hamilton for many years. Now also happens to live in Dunedin. Do you recall your build number? Curious- as I have the database of all 524 made in RHD. Cheers.

Money talks I spose. So is the car likely to be M6 spec otherwise? ie; hand built, suspension etc etc?
