While it’s easy to be a ‘Monday Morning Quarterback’ and scoff at the prices for lightly used cars from the recent past, true time capsules like the Porsche Rob just wrote up are generally the domain of pure wonderment. How have owners been able to restrain themselves for decades without driving a car? This afternoon’s M6 is in a similar vein to the lineup we’ve been looking at; pristine, original condition, and low mileage. While the 36,800 accrued far outstrip those of the RS6, M3 and especially the 911 RSR, finding an all original M6 with below 40,000 miles in near perfect shape is certainly worth a look:

NO DISAPPOINTMENTS !!!
Exterior:
The vehicle’s exterior is in pristine all original condition and the Zinnoberrot Red exterior has a showroom quality finish. (see paint meter readings)
The OEM Metric wheels have not been refinished and are in NOS condition.
Previous owner removed them shortly after purchase and had them cleaned to perfection inside and out before storing in a climate controlled facility.
Special order from Coker Tire are the OEM Michelin TRX-GT tires that you see currently mounted on the M6 and they have less than 25 miles of road use.
If you look inside of the fenders and rear quarters you will see that the original red finish is remarkably clean and highly detailed.
Bright-work is exceptional all around with only the most minor flaws being present on the top of bumper covers.
OEM glass is crystal clear and all the rubber trim and seals are nearly flawless.
Anodized aluminum trim around the glass is in excellent condition and very bright and shiny.
Upper rubber trim along roof line is excellent and not faded.
Headlights are also crystal clear and NOS BMW fog lamps were recently installed.Rare leather wrapped dash in nearly flawless condition as Lotus white leather seating surfaces are also exceptionally clean and soft to the touch.
All gauges, electronic amenities, AC, and OEM BMW stereo are in perfect working order as the vehicle’s cabin was also maintained to a very high standard.
Bright-work inside of the jambs are exceptional !!!
Trunk is also exceptionally clean and dry with the unused OEM spare tire present as well as tools.
While most would consider the ’88 refresh the better looking one to go after, this ’87 is just mega. The condition throughout and presentation are top notch, and on top of that the seller has thoroughly refreshed the car with new old stock parts to near showroom condition. Want to win a preservation class at basically any BMW show? Here’s your ticket. I especially love that they’ve even gone so far as to keep the original TRX M6 stripe BBS wheels, The updated TRX GTs are $410 each, unshipped and unmounted. That level of detail is exactly what you’d want. On top of that, the color combination of Zinnoberrot and Lotus leather is gorgeous and one of my favorite aspects of the E24 M versus the E28; Black was bad to the bone, but color always makes these big coupes pop, and the finish in white inside is beautiful. Add to that this car had the rare leather dash, and it’s easy to see why it’s so desirable, and why the bids are following.
M5s and M6s have been surging in the past few years, and this example certainly is one of the best and most original that has come to market that I can remember. Bidding has been active and with a day left, the reserve remains on at $53,000. Only 1,767 M6s were made for the U.S. market, and you’re just not likely to be coming across many examples better than this in the future.
