Almost at 250k miles on mine just past 400k km. Love this thing and my m6 is almost at 200k miles and that thing sees mainly track use and drives to and from the track and gets ragged on the engine is dumb solid and the smg really comes alive and to its own on the track

Odd question but does your M6 have any blow by? Like when you take your oil cap off is there pressure coming out of it

Good review, i have a 2006 M6, have only done about 6000 miles in 2.5 years ,just over 50k miles on it, and i have had no major problems with it so far

Thank you happy you liked it! 50K miles! That thing is basically brand new! Enjoy it my friend

I actually like the pre lci more just my opinion I like the bangle butt and sick video bro a no bs take about ownership. Keeping it real and not fear mongering about the smg or rod bearings

Appreciate it a lot man and love the comments of yours I've been seeing. Ya the bangle butt grew on me too! Don't make em like this anymore

@daveisasdavedoes3558 5 ай бұрын

Love the enthusiasm but you got quite a bit wrong. Rod bearings don't go at a fixed interval, it's down to use, if each startup can't be accounted for, the rod bearings should be done. There's a lot to do while you're in there: The tensioner and chain were updated for the vanos pump Oil squirters are updated It's good try to get an LCI sump that has the two drain plugs, there's about 2.5l of oil that's never changed with an oil change Injectors and lift pump should be changed All the high pressure lines should be changed, especially the steering lines next to the headers The vanos accumulator pipe should be changed.

Dave would you be willing to provide all part numbers here? Would really appreciate it so I have everything on hand when doing rod bearings.

You should reset the gearbox adaption and relearn the clutch slip point of your m5, it will fix your jerky start problem You need someone whos experienced to do it with inpa/ista

You could retrofit the cic keeping it oem but all the newer functionality and adding the combo and the updated graphics makes the car so much newer feeling without it looking at all like a retrofit

cic retrofit is the way to go

I still love my Pre-LCI M5 and I'm keeping it. I did upgrade to some later model bits in my S85 during maintenance works though, like revised oil squirters, timing chain runners, cam sprockets... etc

Good call, ya there’s something special about the pre LCI’s

Planning on going all in during the month of March/April 2024 to get my hands on one. 65,000km and a selling price of $26,500. I hope it treats me well when I get my hands on it. I hope I can have it for as many kilometers as you have. I have been wanting this for a long time. Hopefully I can come back here and let you know when I do buy it.

I remember watching this car in top gear when Jeremy clarkson was reviewing it and once you push m button and that thing will top speed at 204 miles per hour with limiter removal and v10 on a sedan was insane that thing can litterly beat a lamborghini huracan for 1/4th of the price

I’m thinking about getting one but everyone keeps telling me not to. I really want one but honestly I can wait a year or 2 but I just pray the prices don’t go up due to v8 and v10 cars no longer being made.

@javiertorres8216 5 ай бұрын

You should be mentally and financially prepared for any potential breakdowns. If you decide to purchase one, ensure all maintenance is up to date. I have had two so far and absolutely love them.

@ChrisManjuris 5 ай бұрын

Sooner than later is better as they will only get more expensive! Set some budget aside every year for maintenance and the more you can prevent rather than fix, the better! They’re great cars

@musicandmusic9796 5 ай бұрын

I think you should buy one from a dealer where you can get an aftermarket warranty. That is what I did and the warranty covered so far, I would say 5k in work. That is my thought. In the last 2 years I think I’ve spent about 10 k in maintenance, alternator, brakes and few other things. Oil change every 5k. Blast to drive, not the fastest car by today’s standards, but a v10, well…. Can you imagine not buying one and in the future saying I wish I did? They are reliable and people either get them beaten to death or neglect them till something breaks beyond repair. Which pill is it going to-be,the red or the blue
