Newbie - Welly based M6

[#E91FUN 14]

Hi All,

 

I'm just back into BMWs, this time with the might M6 V10.

Keen to get to know people who may also have an S85. Keen to know the best workshops in Wellington. Also keen on tuning the transmission and possibly ECU. Was wondering of there are any local people who do coding for the basics like window control from key and the like. 

Cheers, bloody good fun and hope all is well

Not quite my style but a weapon of a car and you don't see many around which makes them special, more pics please!

Lot's of help in Welly (where I am today as a coincidence), give it a few days and you'll get some leads here.

Welcome! 🍻

Think I saw this when it was for sale, seemed like a bargain. I was tempted by it

Welcome to Bimmersport, and the roller coaster ride that is S85 ownership... !

nice M6 - a heck of a lot of car for the money.  

Promo Tuning are Wellington based, and can do tuning - https://www.promotuning.co.nz

Pramod, the owner, cloned my S85 DME recently, and I can highly recommend his services. I believe he has owned an e60 M5 or two in the past.

Welcome back Cameron @#E91FUN  looks like a tidy e63, well done.

Best workshop is Jon Begley (Auto 38) now in Marton.

In Wellington talk to Peter at All European Service.

Get it into absolute peak order in all areas before you start with the modifications.  All of the trouble spots the S85 is known for need to be resolved to ensure you get a great driving and ownership experience. 

To be fair the downsides of modifying an already expensive and potentially troublesome drivetrain - that will not suffer neglect - , are a low sell price when you're ready to quit it - folks just don't want to take the risk.

PS - it's your car, so you do you!
