  • Today, I had the absolute pleasure of reviewing a 2007 BMW E63 M6 powered by the legendary S85 V10 engine. This car put a smile on my face throughout every single pull, and taking it through some SoCal canyon roads on a cool, winter day made for a very memorable experience. The exhaust sound and induction note produced by this car is nothing short of breathtaking. It feels so special, so bespoke, and it truly is a one of a kind BMW.

      Might be nice a few times but if you lift the pedal just short while shifting, it‘s smooth. Shifting like that is exactly how you ruin your clutch after a few months... Still have my first clutch at 140000km while others complain that it‘s gone after 30000km. SMG is not an automatic, it‘s an automated manual...

      @@st_f0lk582 sorry, but that‘s not true either! Yes, the clutch wears with slip. But derived from Formula 1, the SMG is also designed for shift performance. If you set it for fast shifts, it needs to find a compromise and will only reduce your engine RPM electronically as late as possible which results in different revs between engine and drive train for the sake of longer acceleration. No matter how quick it shifts - hard shifts that kick in your back are caused by different speeds of engine and drive train and result in wear. If you lift the throttle just short, you help to rev match and reduce slip = lower wear.
      Guess 140000 km on my SMG speak for themselves as well as the fact that I never had to change any clutch on any of my manual shifted cars...

    I’ve owned the M5 V10 for three years and I’m so glad I bought this car ( 2007 LCI model) ... before I purchased the car I have to admit that I to was put of by quotes of how unreliable it was ... I was such a fool to listen to these armchair scaremongers as it’s been the most reliable car I’ve owned in years what a rush to drive , please don’t listen to the idiots that quote rubbish about this car as firstly most have never even driven one let alone owned one just make sure you search the history by that I mean don’t buy a lemon , what your looking for is FBMW SH and genuine parts fitted ... since I’ve owned it I’ve noticed how their slowly creeping up in price here in the U.K. 🇬🇧👍😎
    PS: preventive maintenance... throttle actuators and the main one is rod bearings with vanos pipe at the same time , I’ve had the throttle actuators changed nearly two years ago next is the big one the rod bearings which is a must especially as I’m keeping this car for good , I use the car as a weekend toy only and wouldn’t recommend as a daily runner , the most important point to mention is always warm the engine and gearbox to temperature and keep the revs below 3k in the process if you follow this advice it will run for years with the usual services of course , the oil I use is 10w-60 Castrol edge which is the recommended one by Bmw .. I’ve heard of some owners using 5w-40 which is thinner , I personally wouldn’t use this plus I’ve spoke to M mechanics in the past that don’t recommend either , all in all this is a high performance 5 litre 500 bhp car that needs looking after so forget it if your one of these drivers that buys a car and hates spending money when it goes wrong because it’s not cheap to run but compared to an old Ferrari or Lamborghini with similar stats it’s dirt cheap... enjoy 😉
    Forgot to mention “ do not fit cheap Chinese parts as they will fail “ 👍

      Speaking of my 2010 E63 M6 with the SMG III, my one had no issues for 85k miles so far. But I can‘t stand reading comments under most of such videos how unreliable the S85 engine or SMG are. It‘s like drifting around each possible corner and complain how fast the tires are gone 😉

    @williamrice6994 3 роки тому +8

    I own one of these M6s and have to say I couldn't agree more with what the reviewer is saying about them, excellent review!! I do want to clarify one thing. The SMG transmission is a manual with a high speed automated single clutch and integrated electronic shifter. When you drive a traditional manual transmission with a clutch you have to let up on the gas for a moment between shifts so as not to slip/burn the clutch. Remember you are trying to match the transmission speed with the engine speed when you disengage the clutch. The same is true with the SMG, with normal everyday driving you have to let up ever so slightly to hold the engine speed between shifts to achieve a smooth shift. The faster the shift speed the lighter and shorter the duration of the pedal relief. The story is different when you are in M mode and the transmission set to the fastest setting, you just hold on for the millisecond of the shift. The reason being when your in the upper M configured RPM range everything is so quick the shift is seamless.
    Under normal driving conditions, If you are accelerating and shifting you will likely feel it bang into gear. It happens just the same way it would with a manual, the engine is revving up, you engage the clutch, when the clutch is engaged the revs climb faster than the transmission speed, you drop the clutch and the clutch has to absorb the energy of the higher engine RPM and sends a jolt through the transmission, to the car and on to you in the seat. The more you do this, obviously the shorter the clutch and transmission life. It is not as forgiving as a double clutch transmission. You have to learn how to drive it, to drive it well. One last thing, when you downshift the SMG transmission at higher engine speed, it blips the throttle to rev match the engine and transmission speeds which the reviewer points out and you hear a number of times during the review
    All this said SMG cars are some of the most fun to drive. You have to have some experience driving a manual to understand and feel what the transmission is doing. If you have the opportunity to own or drive a E63 M6 with S85 V10 engine and SMG transmission, I am sure you will agree the combination is unlike any other car on the road. It rewards your senses in ways no other car can, it is truly addicting. BMW's golden age of naturally asperated M cars are some of the best driving machines ever made!!! With Electric and Hybrid cars of the future coming in all configs and performance levels it is safe to say there will never be another E63-S85. Grab one if you can!!!

      @williamrice6994 2 роки тому

      I'm sorry if I caused some confusion. When I say let up on the gas. That pharsing may conjure a more extreme action than I mean to suggest. Think of it this way, when you are accelerating, you push the gas pedal down to open the throttle body that intern provide the metered about of fuel for the position of the plenum. The result is the car accelerates up to the speed of the engine set by the throttle body. When the driver shifts gears he is switching to a higher gear that requires less RPM to maintain the speed the car was traveling at when the gear change was initiated. The clutch slips to accommodate the difference in speed, granted the momentum of the acceleration will push the car to a higher speed will minimize the slippage. pul . The SMG transmission is designed to provide the driver with many settings for the driving style they intend to use. If your going to drive it hard and shift at high rpms. Set the shift change speed high to the fifth bar with DSC on and 6th bar in M mode with the DSC off for the fastest shifts and you will not get the lurches you see in the video. Drive hard at a slow shift speed and you will. When you start the car in non-M mode SMG defaults to shift speed 3, the default setting for the auto drive mode. While most of the videos you see of folks driving M6s is pretty much flat out with the V10 screaming out. While many of us owners enjoy exercising our M6s most of the time we have to drive them in a more civilized manner. Thanks to sticking with me to get to this point about letting up on the gas pedal.

    • @williamrice6994
      @williamrice6994 2 роки тому

      When driving in a less aggressive manner you accelerate slowly and when you shift, you move your foot up ever so slightly to almost hold the RPM you shifted at then once the gear change is made apply the gas to continue the acceleration. This technique allow the car to increase its speed to accommodate the speed the gear is to run at the given RPM. Using the process I have glass smooth shifts with my SMG and you can too.

    Hey great video man! I see one of these right now with only 37k miles for $21k! I test drove a couple of these and fell in love. They’re truly addicting, special cars that’ll be harder to find in the future.
    Just one question though. Upon examining the carfax for this M6 I just mentioned, I noticed it literally hasn’t even been maintained throughout its life! Like legit, not even one oil change shows up on the maintenance records on the carfax. I really want to get the car, but I’m concerned I’ll be the one to bite the bullet on super expensive repairs and I’ll potentially have a money pit on my hands due to neglect from the previous owners. What do you think? Should I pull the trigger and get it?

    • @DogNamedNicolas
      @DogNamedNicolas 3 роки тому

      37K miles for only $21K is very suspect. Especially with no maintenance records. It should’ve at least visited the dealership twice for an oil change unless the owner changed the oil at home. The thick 10w60 oil will deteriorate easily and clump up overtime especially if it hasn’t been changed often. This will eventually affect the entire VANOS system, oil pump, and ultimately the rod bearings. I would steer clear unless you get a thorough PPI, oil analysis, and plan on changing the rod bearings after you buy the car. I would also flush the PS fluid, drain the differential fluid, and the SMG transmission fluid.
      Also, if the previous owner really neglected to change the oil, I highly doubt the owner followed the break in procedure for the first 1,200-1,500 miles. Or worse case scenario, started up the car and drove it to redline before the oil temp reached 210F.

The F series M cars are all around superior in terms of handling and performance but there’s nothing quite like the rawness and the sound of the S85 V10. You can always put money into the motor and get a stroker build from Troy Jeup to get about 600+ whp which will easily hang with the F90 M5.

      Unless it’s a concept car, I highly doubt it. With the EV market so hot right now and fuel economy becoming one of the most deciding factors in buying a car for the broad consumer market, a NA V10 just doesn’t make business sense. Turbos and smaller displacement engines achieve more horsepower per liter and torque while simultaneously reducing weight and increasing fuel efficiency. Even if BMW produced, let’s say, a 5.2 or 6.0L V10 with a 12:1 compression ratio producing 600hp and 400+ lb/ft of torque, it would still be slower than the F90 M5 and probably have worse fuel economy than the S85 5.0L motor.
      Even Formula 1 scraped V10 and V8 engines for turbo V6s because of the power generated per liter while maximizing fuel efficiency. I wouldn’t be surprised if F1 cars become all electric within the next 10 years. As lame as it sounds, pun intended, F1 races could be almost silent.

      I do enjoy the shorter wheel base on the M6 it does make the car more nimble. Ive achieved pretty close lap times between the two cars when I have taken both the m5 and the m6 but the m6 now is faster due to weight reduction and more experience on track with it. The lower center of gravity is pretty nice

    Can't agree on the NA motors being more responsive, sure you're not waiting on the turbo to make the power but you're waiting longer on the revs to make the power. BMW turbo motors with their max torque at 1,500 rpm range or so are more responsive in my mind even with the initial hesitation. Not only that but you're making more power all things being equal. Sound is the only downside of turbos in my opinion.

    • @SimplyCarThings
      @SimplyCarThings  3 роки тому

      I agree that BMW turbo engines are actually quite responsive for a “turbocharged motor” such as the S55 & B58. But i still haven’t experienced anything that replicates the feel of the N/A ones, especially the S85/S65/S54 with ITB’s is incredible. the amount of precision you have with the pedal and the instantaneous surge in RPM are what i particularly noticed.

    • @chrisgarret3285
      @chrisgarret3285 3 роки тому

The M5/M6 S85 coupled with a modern DCT would be amazing. For me, this car represents almost the worst of the Bangle era, second only to the 7 series, which I think is one of the ugliest BMWs ever. I find front end of the E63 to be just ugly, but the back end is fcuking hideous. I can't stand it.

Free from the troubles, pains, and desires of this world. Even those things that you secretly justify even when they’re wrong, you can be set free from. Through God’s Word you will become new, not being bound to your wrong doings. May this message fill your heart, there may still be struggles, but now with God you have help and hope, from God, who knows all things. May God bless you and may you be filled with love.
    John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
