This 1987 BMW M6 spent time in Ohio and Arizona before it was acquired by its current owner in 2019, and it now shows 32k miles. It is powered by a 3.5-liter S38 inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and is finished in Cinnabar Red over Natur leather. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 415mm basketweave alloy wheels, a sunroof, a rear spoiler, power-adjustable front seats, front and rear air conditioning, a leather-wrapped dashboard, a cassette stereo, and cruise control. Replacement TRX tires were installed in July 2022, and additional work in preparation for the sale included replacing the rear pitman arms, brake master cylinder, spark plugs, and water pump, as well as resurfacing the brake rotors, rebuilding the ABS module, fluid services, and servicing the air-conditioning system. This E24 M6 is now offered by the seller on behalf of its current owner with service records, manufacturer’s literature, a window sticker, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car left the factory finished in Cinnabar Red, and the seller states that the roof was refinished under prior ownership. Features include a front spoiler with integrated fog lights along with a rear spoiler, a sunroof, a power antenna, a decklid spoiler, and twin center-exit exhaust pipes. The seller notes that the paint on the sunroof has been polished through, and primer is visible in some spots. Paint meter readings are viewable in the gallery below along with images of VIN-stamped stickers.

The metric 415mm basketweave alloy wheels are mounted with 240/45 Michelin TRX GT-B tires that were fitted in July 2022. The car is equipped with a MacPherson strut semi-trailing arm suspension, a larger front anti-roll bar than the standard E24, and a rear anti-roll bar and self-leveling system. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs with an anti-lock system. The brake pressure switch was replaced in March 2019, and service in May 2022 included replacing the rear pitman arms, brake master cylinder, and brake fluid, as well as resurfacing the brake rotors and rebuilding the ABS module.

Brown leather covers the upper dashboard and door panels, and additional amenities include a cassette stereo, driver’s memory settings, cruise control, front and rear air conditioning, an onboard computer, and power windows and locks. The air conditioner receiver/drier was replaced and the system was converted to R134a refrigerant in May 2022.
