Drove that M6 on a few occasions. My very good friend has one. This car is close to 6 speed manual price. Well overpriced. As for rod bearings they can be done in $2500 range. So nowhere near 5K. It’s not a rocket science like some here claim it to be. Any BMW specialist will get it done.m right. They not fall apart like some think. Key thing are frequent oil changes with proper 10W60 and properly warmed up engine before giving it a beans, but that everyone here should know, and even conducting 3 PPIs will not uncover that. I have E63 with M156 engine and did a head bolts on it. Every BaT buyer is asking about it. My car is 09. Bolts were perfectly fine. I wouldn’t do it again. With S85 and S65 proper warm up and engine oil is the key. Good luck with your search. That V10 is glorious!!!
