Here's Why You Should NEVER Buy A BMW M6 Or M5 *V10 Engine Failure*

I bought a 2007 BMW M6 powered by the mighty S85 V10 for $3,750. Only to find out immediately that my E63 would need rod bearings. The Car Ninja and I tackled it in record time and got the car back on the road. 66 Miles down the road the engine decided to stop running. Now this car will make its final trip to J&J Auto Wrecking to be dismantled for parts. Unless you find a perfect M5/M6 with well documented rod bearing changes I wouldn't recommend buying one.

The title is wrong. It should be: "Here's Why You Should NEVER Buy A BMW M6 Or M5 for $3, 750"

This is me drawing BMW First draw a wallet, second draw a vacuum cleaner.... That's how it works

You actually CAN see a broken heart through a screen
Disappointment is one of the worst feelings

Tyler's Vid : "Here's why you should never buy a BMW ever."
JR's Vid: "I bought a cheap BMW M6!"
JR's Next Vid: "You should never buy a BMW M6."

You said “the car keeps making that noise”. It’s crying because it knows it’s fate.

[NathansBMWWorkshop]

Like i said before you have to use ISTA on the S85, the autel scanners will not tell you the correct codes, also with him using the factory bolts and bearings the risk is high for error, ARP bolts and ACL bearings are a fool proof setup

BMW M6: From smug to surrender in six episodes.

[CarswithNash]

I remember a BMW enthusiast telling me I should buy an old BMW... So I asked him, “Is it just a matter of doing a bunch of preventative maintenance and then they are reliable?” He’s like, “oh no, they are never reliable...”😂

Tyler visiting JR to console him on his loss. That's what friends are for (and not say "I told you so").

[benbennit]

Ohhh modern BMW :(
That warning "bong" haunts my nightmares.

[MoldyFarms]

This sounds like a Scotty Kilmer title

The m6 is my absolute favorite grand tourer. I've come close to buying one of these 3 times only to find issues with each one when i went for a test drive. Still an amazing car for the person with very deep pockets lol

[feron]

My old boss had the m5 version had so many issues with the vanos system. Before it even got enough miles to grenade the engine, from the bearings. It got lemon lawed. He dodged a bullet.

I have a 2006 M6 v10 with 140, 000+ miles on it and have never had a bearing problem. I do my own oil and have never seen metal in the oil. Also mine has a dual clutch smg. The only problem i have is with batteries. Need to replace every 2 years like clock work. Around the 2 year mark it will start having trouble codes. New battery and coded go away.

Heartiest condolences. Don't let it stop you from being ambitious with your builds.

[johntuttle]

Not so simple: "That's how simple this is. It's a manual transmission but a computer runs it." Another in a long series of steps of overcomplicating things that do not need complicating!
Simple: It's a manual clutch and your left foot runs it."

[CMOVlogs]

I love mine and I'll never sell it, keep up with maintenance and you'll be fine. You're right though, buying a cheap one is definitely a ticking time bomb.
