thanks for the honest sharing! i could not buy a car with that many owners, it would bother me too much... oh an the fuel economy and smg... but therefore you got the glorious v10!
Oh dude I got the efficient dynamics sticker too. The guy who sold me it tried to flog me some "low drag alloys" mumbo jumbo snake oil but I told him I knew the sticker was all you needed.
None unfortunately. I've since had them done, and the ones that came out had noticable scoring on the bores. No where near as bad as I've seen, but the car has only done around 70k miles.
You mentioned having an 645 previously, I’m interested to know what you think about the cars compared to each other? Is the M6 worth the extra headache and worry that the V10 will destruct itself? Love the looks of the E63 but I’m not sure how I would spend my money
It depends what you're looking for. For me, I don't drive a lot, and I want those journeys to feel special so the M6 is the car for me. A 645ci is a great car but more of a cruiser. Softer, quieter, less of an engaging experience. Still plenty fast enough for most, but not visceral, engaging or, when driven hard, frightening like an M6 can be. In terms of the worry - the main concern is rod bearings. If the car has no proof that it's had them done, you have to factor in the price of this work into the purchase price. You'll be looking at something like £1850 in the UK for the job. I always intended on having them done, and since making this video it's all sorted.
@@roadtrolls4403 Thanks! Great answer! I have similar preferences regarding cars. The 645:s are just so cheap so it’s still a bit tempting even I’m looking for something engaging.
@@christianbagge609 If the M6 is out of your budget, a 645ci is a pretty decent car. Just make sure you do your research on things to check, and work towards an M6 ;-) Personally I'd probably be looking at an e92 330 or 335 as they're a bit more fun, if a bit more raw.
8.6 mpg that doesn’t seem right , I have the same engine in the M5 ( 57 plate ) my average is around 15 mpg that’s including booting the car ... I think after 3 years of ownership the lowest I’ve seen the mpg is 13 mpg ..... word of advice invest in a trickle charger this is a must especially if the car is a weekend toy as mine is because your battery will drain 😎👍🇬🇧 In three years of ownership I still have the same Michelin pilot super sports on the car so great tyres. The trickle charger is the CTEK MXS 5.0 recommended by Bmw this is the one I use and since using it the battery has been great. Another heads up for M5 owners if you have a battery discharge come up on the dashboard when you first start the car it could be a tracker that was fitted to the car , a Bmw guy told me a couple of years ago he said it’s nothing to worry about and doesn’t affect the car 😎👍

That insurance is cheap. In Toronto, Canada, it would be $7000-$8000 canadian for 1 years worth of insurance (for a male, 30, clean driving abstract) Your 30 pound a month is a about $45-$50 canadian.
@@g.w.7893 Actually, the price is about half I had previously said. Those were quotes i guess had gotten online like a year ago. Its actually more like $300 a month canadian....lol
Sorry Billy, it went a while ago. Around the time as I bought the 645ci. I do have an unfinished video of it though somewhere I may resurrect if there's any interest.
@@DayfidDace wow. Your one of those stupid people that try to be clever. I didn't say it disconnects did I. I said it drops 2 cylinders meaning it provides no fuel to them and runs only 8 cylinders
There are 3 modes. p400, p500, p500 sport. p400 limits the torque and hp whereas p500 has maximum torque/power but a slightly different power delivery band. p500 sport is the same power, but a more aggressive band, and far sharper throttle response. There is no cylinder deactivation.
And no, it's not 500 to the wheels. 507 and 500 are both crank measures, but one is PS (metric hp), the other is HP(mechanical hp). There is a slight difference.
Ace purchase, big balls for the buy! Praying for you that nothing goes wrong, I am looking E90 M3s or these at the moment.
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@@dominickty4943 shut up bot
Interesting video, nice seeing people being honest for a change....10 mpg 😱😱😱😱😱
That “cup holder” in the rear is for holding the front cup holder if you don’t want to use it / see it
ah, clever. didn’t realize this
I had a 2010 m6. I miss it soo much!
Nice video but definitely get your oil changed more often. With the way these engines are it’s best to go 3,000-5,000 miles between changes
thanks for the honest sharing!

Great review... Btw i had a strange feeling that was Watford, I used to work in that building you're filming outside of lol
Great video, thanks! Please upload more ....
Thinking of buying one Joel? 😉
@@roadtrolls4403 have been looking for one for ages!
Just saw you’re selling the v12. I genuinely might sell this
@@roadtrolls4403 wanna ping me an email or message on Instagram with the details? I’d be interested to buy your M6
Your cup holder pulls out and can be stored in the rear cup holder so it's less of an eye-sore
Beautiful car love the mpg, but its worth it👍

Great vid! Any history on Rod Bearings?
None unfortunately. I've since had them done, and the ones that came out had noticable scoring on the bores. No where near as bad as I've seen, but the car has only done around 70k miles.
do you know that the cup holder is removable ?
i also need to get my lower arms done… im doing them myself lol
Hi, could you please make a video with a tunnel run ? and some B road too , it would be great to see and hear
Very best
Robert 👍
Now that lockdown is easing, more videos will come!
@@mislavkonjik2827 totally different kind of car. M5 is definitely a grand tourer, this is more a weekend car.
what a car
clean your air filter and resevouir and fill up your tires for better gas milage, e93 is nice too
ive put 20k miles on my 08 m5 in 2 years and my alternator, belts, and battery went bad. I love the car though.

Not at all!

13mpg for me. Had a battery issue until I got a new battery and its been fine since. The old battery made the computer reset every time I started it.
@@jimmynickelz .. I’m sure if you absolutely thrashed the life out of it until the tank was empty it would probably work out around 8 to 10 mpg 😭👍🇬🇧

Can you share lowering springs site pls

I'm guessing you've lost the haptic feedback on the idrive wheel?
Yep! To be honest I never found it that intuative. Newer iDrive has shortcut buttons which more than makes up for it.
Tax is really cheap in your country, here in belgium the tax on that v10 is 12500 euro’s...
The first year that is and then 4k a year...
Seriously?
That consumption is not ok if you are not changing gears at 8k rpm each time so is something wrong there
What are you getting for average mpg?
It's low speed driving. On a run I see anywhere from 13 to 26mpg depending on the road type etc.
Tax is £580 per year and it's £30 per month? lol u mean £48 per month
Never mind the V10....How’s the Mk5 Gti Getting on? 🚙 🔧😏

Sport mode gives you 507bhp. Non sport mode drops 2 cylinders and 100 bhp
you cant just disconnect 2 cylinders from the engine bro ahahaha it just changes the throttle response
ps its 500 to the wheels 507 from the crank
