1988 BMW M6

All of us here at GCFSB sit around and ponder what the next car will be to ride the wave of appreciation. One car I’ve had my eye on for quite some time is the BMW E24 M6. Offered for only two years in the US market, it’s rather surprising that this car’s smaller brother, the E30 M3, is fetching greater sums in the market currently. Perhaps it was because the M3’s racing career was a bit more visible or the compact package is a bit more attractive for those wanting something a bit more nimble. However, setting eyes on this Zinnoberot 1988 M6 does nothing to quell my apetite for owning one of these graceful coupes someday. Coming from the year right before the E24 said goodbye, this is the original 6er in its ultimate form.

Engine and transmission are performing like they should and there are no known noises
Sunroof works great with an exception of a small tear about 3/4 of and inch in the headliner. Carpet looks great. Odometer works great. All lights work great. Still has the ORIGINAL UNUSED factory spare and ORIGINAL windshield.

Other notes regarding the Auction: If you have a history of retracting bids, don’t bother bidding. If you have zero feedback, you’ll need to contact me and convince me that you’re serious. All initial communication will be through eBay. All questions and answers about specific issues with the car will be posted for all to see. Do not bother trying to do a deal outside of eBay. I am not advertising this car anywhere else, but I do reserve the right to end the auction early, but only according to eBay rules, so please familiarize yourself with the rules, and ask questions if you want clarification.

BEFORE the auction ends I encourage you to see and drive the car for yourself, or have a representative do so.

Transportation:
I will be happy to work with you on timing of shipping and work with you transportation to arrange a pick up, shipping is buyer’s responsibility.

This M6 looks nice on the surface, but it appears this car may have been repainted and reupholstered at some point down the line, as things look just a little too good for its age. Also, the “M” badge on the trunk raises some questions when it should be an “M6” badge. It’s minor details like these which throw potential buyers off and make one wonder if there’s anything major lurking beneath. At no reserve, I’ll be watching this closely to see where it winds up because even with the above mentioned flaws, I’d love to call this one my own. Like the R107 SL and Audi RS2, this car is in my personal top ten list.
