![A Formula 1 V10 on a Street Car! - BMW M6 E63 [Test Drive]](/img/n.gif)
The V-10 BMW M-6 Is the best driving experience ever !!! This is a future classic supercar, Probably the best car on the road right now, Do not sell this car in the near future it will only appreciate in value, Keep on loving it and enjoying it there is no other car like it in the whole world.
Yeah I’m starting to see these 2006-08 model bmws are starting to level out and appreciate since we are finally getting to see the durability over the years even the reliable base model bmws
its too bad my 2008 corvette would kill it. 07 m6 0-60 is not impressive these days
youbrokein umm you know these cars hit there power over the 60mph mark right ? They are high reving machines
@@tylerf1493 u cant even mod that m6 with that unreliable engine thats ready to blow up. all the ads i see on autotrader are people trying to get rid of them with stock everything. its heavy as hell too, id never buy it with those engine and transmission problems
@@youbrokein plenty of mods available actually and quite reliable if you look after them the right way.
I am a Mercedes Benz guy, but I really appreciate your video. Loved your M6. :-)
Sweet vid bro! U had the balls to buy one. Inspires me to still go after my beloved E60 M5. I cant let that V10 gooooooo😣
Ralpha Romeo dude, you need to. These cars are cheap. Spend 25k on a nice one with low miles. I will be posting a one year ownership review video on the m6 within the next 2 weeks. Subscribe, stay tuned!
@@jacktheeurocarguy Jack, what exhaust setup???
@@jacktheeurocarguy found one 41k miles $27k
Great review I'm thinking about buying the M6 it is my dream and I can finally afford to buy it. But Awesome review man.👍👍
Take good care of it🙏
Yeah bro just got mine 2 days ago love that thing 😍😍 still got my m5 and I love this more
A beautiful car, some people don't like the design, but I love it. I wish you all the best, I've had BMW's for years and I love the way they drive. 🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
I’m so glad I’ve been taking and putting the Motors in and out of theses things ya for years I still love em still have my convertible it’s a classic bring it out every summer 💪
Any manuals or website for it you can give me for repairs and to get to know this beat better might be getting it soon
Have the manual version E63 2008. Troy did a great job replacing the motor years ago (maybe 7-8 years ago) Didn't know about the bearings back then,so I was one of the first to have issues. Since then I've put 100K more miles on the car. Add bearings as part of the maintenance and this is a great car. BTW - My bolsters on the seat are adjustable. Say hi to Troy for me. (Shawn in Atlanta, red M6)
Shawn Liaguno just sent that screenshot to Troy! He remembers you and said you are a good guy :)
Who works on your bmw m6 v10
I miss my 2010 bmw m6 coupe! I had a loud exhaust so what I did I switched back to the stock exhaust with cut outs I removed the secondary cats and resonator. Still quiet almost like stock but with the cutouts opened it was Damm loud in a good way! I raced a buddy of mine who had the convertible like yours and it was a pretty big difference! I pulled him by a few cars. No mods on either of them so that comes to show weight makes a BIG difference in acceleration.
Wow yours runs hot. Must be the change to 0w-40I stuck with 0w-60 based on overall design specs and ran with the BE bearings which add .0005 of clearance on the journal to ensure proper ooze flow. I run at 202 deg F
Timeless design. Design is immaculate
So much to love. If that lazy headlight could just get lifted up a bit, it would be easier to look at.
had one some years ago, only issue was that the all the mini computers inside the car used fiber optic cables, this transated that just due to the road bumps, every 2-3 months i eneded to take the car to the mechanic to re aligne the cables cause my car maybe decides to turn off 2 cylinders, or to go into safety engine mode and not rev higer than 4krpms, so i sold it, cause it was a pain that was in the mechanic more than in the road, i had it for 4-5 years
V10 legend 🚀🚀🚀
A really good first video. Keep it up😉👍🏾
Hi what was the name of the shop again I kept trying to hear the name correctly but no luck I can use that repair shop since I'm in Michigan if anyone can help I'd appreciate it
If you need any work done, I am in Grand Rapids and the best shop around is Ario Nol on 52nd and eastern. Tell them Jack sent ya!
The shop that made the intakes is called Momentum Metal Fabrication.
Troy Jeup is the s85 king and the guy who builds all these motors.
Best of luck.
this was a very good review thank you
Yeah for my first video, I think I did alright. Thanks :)
@@jacktheeurocarguy hello this is an old thread, but just curious, did you repaint your car?,- its looks amazing,-
i hope you have a great ownership with the car and i look forward to see a longer term review of the car
Great video. Very informative, detail oriented, & fun as well. 👍
Great video, ONLY 212 subscribers? Props to actually researching what you've said in your video and correcting it! Keep it up
Troy Wilson haha yeah I’m getting there. I have lots of cars I haven’t made videos eith. I travel 10 months out of the year for work. UA-cam is just a little hobby when I have free time. Better and more videos coming this summer. I appreciate the love
I’ve owned 2 e60 m5s. Currently own an m4 and I’m already bored of it after 3 months. I never once got bored of the m5. How can you get bored of that sound..I’m not sure if the 4.4 will give me any joy. I might just sell the m4 and go back to another v10 m
Should I buy one for like 27k? Unreliable ? I’m young should I buy this or no
@@ynwa8459 if you have money on the side then buy. I got my first one when I was 21 but it was unreliable as previous owner didn’t take good care. My 2nd one was a 1 owner from the dealer and it didn’t give me a problem for 2 years until I spun the rod bearings. It was around the mileage they spin and I was doing 270km/h on the highway. These are fun cars man I would get a 2008 and up no 06-07
I have 08 M6 manual vert. I have 3 more toy cars but M6 gets driven most. Awesome car!
Crazy car
Fantastic eview, well done!
Just bought me 2008 M6 with low miles this car is a beat mine have a carbon fiber top. Love the car period
very good video overall! I found one of these for sale recently in my area and I'm strongly contemplating making the purchase.
Best review by far. I'm about to buy the same one any thing in particular I should look for before I do? Thx Bro!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I have the 645 sport I'm getting my muffler delete this week and I'm gonna get another drop top one I love the rims are they 22s imma get those two 💪🏽
DJ NEW YORK only way to do it bro, I had to get the soft top and the hard top also. Cus it’s basically 2 completely different looks 💯💪🙌🙌
M6 v10 convertible manual is maybe the perfect car for me
Well.. dont have a m6 but at least got my first e64
It a beautiful car.. I have a 2010 e63 m6.. me personally I love the traction control off (DSC)!! Can you link where you got the intake?
Toro LonDon google momentum metal production or look them up on Instagram. Tell them jack sent you!!
Any pics
Great review.. i have 2008 6.50i e64 . Wanna upgrade to M6 in near future.
In regards to the oil where do you get this type of oil and is it plug and play
I’m happy owner of 2008 m6 6sp for 2 years
No problem what so ever
Over 90 000 miles
Pavel Czech same here
how much do you spend yearly on maintenance?
Steve Adams how much do you spend yearly on maintenance?
Ahmad Alsheikh oil change and rear tires
Less then $1000
Pavel Czech would you recommend getting this as a first car? i’m just scared a lot of things will break with it and make me broke.
the name of the transmission is misleading. a normal sequential transmission is dog engagement with a groove cut selector shaft. It is cross gate (every change goes through neutral) operation just like a manual transmission. The SMG has hydraulic actuators for direct shift without going to neutral like Ferrari’s and is synchromesh. The operation is sequential but that is true for normal automatics and double clutch as well. A better name, idk, single clutch robotized direct shift SRD :)
the most amazing thing is the SMG system does its own double-clutching - that is, blipping the throttle to match engine speed to the transmission speed to make shifts smoother - when downshifting. And it does it much faster than any driver could do manually with a standard manual transmission. That means when downshifting it crosses through neutral but it doesn’t matter, the upshifts need to be quick. Double clutching preserves the synchronizers and having a computer doing this virtually means the least amount of wear possible.
Bottom line, it would be very difficult to choose between this and a manual.
5W-50 over the 10W-60? You're brave. Changing the viscosity of both hot and cold temp of the oil when you only identified a cold viscosity problem is rather risky. maybe try a 5W-60 or a 0W-60?
Modern Muscle 180 look up Troy Jeup on Instagram. It’s proven. Think about it. When do you get wear on your rod bearings? Cold startup, because lack of immediate oil/too thick. Do some research on the s85 and look at Troy’s insta. He’s the s85 king
Where in Michigan are you located? I had a m5 that was silver. Beautiful car!
I want to buy one but I'm not sure if it's legal in my city. I live in Wichita kansas. How can I figure it out?
Good info about to grab one.
Soon as I close on my house with garage I’m getting a M6 off car guru ❤
And hide it until first day of summer
Bro what wheels are those?👀🔥🔥
What did you do to yours to bulletproof it? I did a twin disc clutch to solve the SMG issue.Also who's bearings did you go with? I did BE as the ECS ones weren't rated and they simply recycled the PPG coatings.Just curious. I have an E64 s well. Silver with grey top.Also what exhaust is that? Dynan?
What is your review on the twin disc clutch?
How’s the twin disc clutch?
Sounds and looks great. have owned several BMWs, and tempted on one of these or an 850 12 cylinder. LOL on your use of
"Kind of ghetto" in reference to the air intakes with the heat wrap.
Beautiful car bro. I drive a 06 650i right now and love it
I'm looking to get the same kind 06 650i Convertible. Anything I should be on the look our for ?
@@DannyDoneDidit2X probably can get one for cheap. I got mine from auction for 10k with just under 100k miles
All I had to do was change the thermostat on it and its been fine ever since.
@@Liljordyyy619 very helpful thank you man
@@DannyDoneDidit2X no problem bro, hope it all goes well and hope to hear about how much you enjoy it!
I have a 2009 M6 and I love ❤️ it
How many miles. And how would you rate the reliability
Amazing video. I’m buying my m6 this November any advice ?
Get low miles if possible! Manual transmission if possible! Also, coupes are a lot lighter. Just make sure the car has had regular oil changes. First thing, change out the thermostat and run redline 5w50 oil!
@@jacktheeurocarguy not 5w50 oil .. 10w 60 oil
Bearing shell is a common issue and expensive smg gearshift 2 the ECU is a possible issue 2. This car has expensive repair costs keep that in mind
@J B damn that cheap in the us? I have to pay 7k for bearings and 5-7k for the smg gearshift i live in switzerland (swiss francs)
sorana sokan you want to run 5w50 oil in these motors. It saves your rod bearings!!!
Does this oil work well in colder temperatures?
Gabriel Cohen yes it’s better in cold because it’s thinner. Only draw back of the 5w-50 opposed time the 10w-60 is that you will burn a little oil in the summer time.
As long as you use good synthetic and let the car warm up you'll be find with 10w60. I use 10w60 on my m3 and m5 year round in Michigan.
Alex D you’re going to eat through rod bearings with 10w60
Great video bro
Props for Redline 5W-50
Great review my G
What wheels are those buddy, size, width, offset, and link to where you can get them?
Dude your tatoos are dope !💪🏻
This car doesn’t look that was made in 2007 I like it
Just curious. How did you get the m6 to take different oil without throwing codes or messing up the motor?
5w50 is a listed alternative in the owners manual
Nice video I just bought one yesterday and I have a quick question. Is their a park option in this car or is it neutral and e brake on everywhere you go?
Prime NW Property just shut it off while still in first, and you’re in gear and the car won’t roll.
Thank you the dealer told me leave it in neutral and I was like no way. I was curious if I was on a hill facing up where I could roll backwards if I’d need to turn it off in reverse? Kinda like a manual would. Or just in 1st everywhere.
I never have a bimmer but thicker oil i think is good for s85 because it was designed for high rev but more important im very sore they know people get use it like crazy driving
Hey man for how long have you been using the oil , I used to 10 , 60 and I was thinking about what you said
Reinaldo Figueroa 5k miles. Look up Troy Jeup on Instagram.
MDM mode allows you to get in the gas without wheel spin
Name of that exhaust???
Can you daily these things?
Randy Hernandez fuck yeah you can
if you have very deep pockets, yes, you can
louis k they don’t even need to be that deep! I mean if you can’t afford a few thousand for a repair bill every now and then, no German car is for you
@@jacktheeurocarguy what kind of bullshit is that? There are german cars, bmw-s included, that can be maintained for cheap, and non-germans that can ramp up the bills very fast. A few thousand every now and then? Define every now and then...this car's engine is a ticking time bomb. It's a question of when, and not if, it breaks. And when it breaks, it can easily total the car...so umm, yeah, owning one of these makes no sense whatsoever unless you like to gamble.
I was looking into getting a m6 this my favorite bmws next to the m3
Kills the M3,M4 all of them
Nice bro. Which city
Shouldn't have sold the car bro 😂. We will do an M5 next time.
Hey man, Ive seen a 2006 m6 I really want to get. What do you think? How's your's going? any problems? anything i should make sure to check before getting it?
Den Zil check out my most recent video! My one year review of the m6
How many times have you had to change the bearings?
Kartez Drake no times. That’s why I used 5w50 oil with motorad thermostat
@@jacktheeurocarguy really?! Have you ever had your oil tested? Just asking.
Kartez Drake yes I did
How many people called David Santiago?! 😂🤣🤷♂️
I love everything about this car
Is 88, 000 miles high mileage for a 2007 M6 ?? I need some advice jack
AUGUST RUSH in my opinion, 90k miles on an s85 would be like 170k miles on a normal car. But that’s just my opinion :) if they’re well taken care of, they will go long just like any motor! But they definitely scare people lol
Great video
Where are you located in michigan? I got a 2006 M6 in Ann Arbor
Adam Hasan Grand Rapids! I just sold it though!! It just sold. I’ve bought 3 cars I will make videos with come spring time.
Jack The Euro Car Guy that sucks dude. Might be selling mine pretty soon as well. BMW for life!
E92 M3 is legendary FR
You should use 10w60
I want the hardtop but there is a good deal on a convertible
Love them, I just wish I was braver.. I only have the little 630i Sport as my daily.. but I can pretend
ha ha pathetic

Still looking for a e64 manual, very rare here
@@Krezo200 Yeah i get about, cant help myself lol
Manuals are rare here too, 6 cylinder and V8s. Happy enough with the auto, makes a great cruiser
waynester71 nice, its a great car! Tell me more about it, i love to listen
No way that changing the oil stops the rod bearings from wearing “at all”. Car sounds great though. Swap out those bearings though!
Do some research. The whole rod bearing wear issue has to do 100% with oil, so it makes complete sense why different oil would solve the issue.
@@jacktheeurocarguy it might help but it won’t make the problem go away. Your best bet is to send your oil out to Blackstone for analysis every (or every other) oil change. They can pick up traces of metal in the oil and track wear levels over time to determine when it might be time to replace the bearings. Trust me though, don’t think that the problem will just go away with thinner oil.
@@m3blackshadow results speak for themselves. Follow Troy Jeup on Instagram.
@@jacktheeurocarguy Apparently making sure the car is really well warmed up before use makes a big diff with the rod bearings. How much have you spent on the car since you bought it?
@@barrybarnes96 always let all my cars warm up. And yes, it makes a big difference simply because the viscosity of the oil
Everyone that I know that has owned one has had major engine problems. Great driving cars but pretty garbage mechanically. I wouldn't recommend one of these to anyone who isnt willing to replace the motor as soon as they buy it.
Replace? Maintain more like it. If you know cars and can do a majority of the work I'd have to disagree with your statement. Even if you have to have someone else do the work, for $5K on top of your purchase price (which is way less than the $30k for a new motor) you can prevent catastrophic failure.Also being a horrible owner is a good way to shorten the life of any car.
@@gulgul2006 I'm not saying they aren't amazingly high performing motors, the rod bearings tend to fail though. It's an inherent issue along with vanos failure. I know about these cars pretty well, major failure of either can decimate components which could require a replacement. I'm not saying it will, I'm saying it could, and when you're buying it second hand, which we all are, you have to be ready to drop 10 grand. And if you want to prevent that, tear down the bottom end and address the problem, and rebuild your entire motor. Either way, these are ticking time bombs. Spectacular fun though until they do blow up.
Did you replace RBs or use different oil now like 10w-50?
Eric Paz he is using 5w50 oil. I am using it as well. It is a thinner oil and was proven to not wear rod bearings like 10w60. Look up Troy Jeup.
Adam Hasan thanks bud! I have an 08 with 141k, original RBs, running smooth so was curious if i can change to 5w-50. I know many people changed but only after replacing RBs.
Eric Paz no problem. I replaced my rod bearings at 103k. I have 110K miles now. Thats awesome your at 143k original RBs. I would recommend replacing them just for peace of mind
What kind of exhausts do you have on? I have the same 2007 m6, love the car.
Can anyone confirm his comment on the oil? Also, anyone know what exhaust he's using?
honna4949 Troy Jeup can confirm the oil. And the thousands of others that have switched. The exhaust is an eismann cat back

Oh that was nice 👌
Looking at a 2007 m6 with around 62k miles on it, anything I should look for durring the test drive? Or ask the dealer for specific things

Maintenance is a biaaahh 😅😅
Hi
Can you please let me have any contact details to the guy who helping you look after your car?
JM Sobejko where u from I do all the work on these engines I’ll take it out for u and put everything New for a great price if your serious let me no Kingme1444@gmail.com 💪
These cars suck if your on a hot pursuit I was behind the wheel on one of these and these definitely are not safe to drift on hard turns or curves if your trying to outrun someone especially if you have bald tires and bad brakes even with everything upgraded I still wouldn’t trust this or recommend it if your escaping someone through backroads my 3.7 q50 had much better suspension
Is this car reliable?
If looked after properly then yes. Still fairly expensive to run though as you'd expect
No. But it’s worth it
