2019.
Estimate:
€60.000 - €80.000
- Offered from the Youngtimer Collection
- BMW's iconic 'shark-nose' M6
- A sure-fire future collectible
BMW and its M-division gave birth to a legend by slotting a
modified inline six-cylinder engine sourced from the M1 into their
beautifully styled 6-series coup�. Dubbed the M6, this sat at the
top of the pecking order of the BMW range and proved to be a big
success for the company.
At its time, the M6 was the second-fastest BMW ever built behind
the M1, topping out at over 250 km/h. Along with its stunning
performance, the M6 was outfitted with all the luxury accoutrements
that BMW's customers had become accustomed to, making it the
perfect car for extended road trips, crossing continents in leaps
and bounds at high speed.
Delivered new to Japan and finished in subtle BMW Diamantschwarz
metallic over a grey leather interior, this M6 remained in Japan
until mid-2016 when it was purchased by the consignor and imported
to Switzerland to be included in his spectacular collection of
BMWs. Showing just under 38,300 km on its odometer, this would be a
wonderful example to drive and enjoy of what was then BMW's
ultimate driving machine. To view this car and others currently
consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at
