topless 5 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 M6 is really rare, probably worth it to the right buyer. Pity it is auto though.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Well, there you go. I've learnt something for the day. An Automatic E28 M6. Not interested, that's so un-M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 dont think it will be, im sure the only m car that could come in auto was the m535i, other than the new SMG stuff. 90% sure m635csi didnt come in auto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Thats what i though 50 Grand for an auto?! But still mean collectors item. If kept mint it would be worth a pretty penny in the future! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 I had an arguement with my bro over M6 versus 635CSi's, me thinking they were the same thing and I was pretty sure the ones I'd seen were pushing out the same horsepower. Anyway, I looked in a book I have on BMW ... forget hte name and turns out the M6 was produced, but only in the USA funnily enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted June 16, 2006 no such thing as an 'M6' except for a new one, the old ones were called M635csi, and the next model down was the 635csi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2006 thats what I said, I was questioned about it and I looked up and found yes its true. They were only produced in the US over a certain period of time I think 87 onward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted June 16, 2006 If it had an S38 in it - it's good enough to be an M6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted June 16, 2006 it didnt though. Same as the m5s, well except for gay american engines. M88 ftw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted June 16, 2006 The M88 is just an early S38, the M88 has a single row timing chain, the S38 has a double row. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted June 16, 2006 yes, but the S38 is more 'enviromentaly friendly', US emissions equp etc. M88 puts out more power than 3.5 S38. M88 = non catted etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2006 Duplex timing chains FTW. Single chains break, duplex never do. The S38 can be modified fairly easily to remove the enviro restrictions turning it into a duplex M88. 50k for an M6? Pffft, yeah right. Go shopping overseas.
