    Looking into buying a 2007 M6

    Need some suggestions or input on an e63 m6.

    First one I'm looking at is a 2007 m6 with
    75k, other is a 2006 with 52k

    Will be mostly a weekend car so maybe I'll drive it 5k miles a year......

    What are the most common issues in these cars and what is the amount on some of the repairs you have done?

    Rod bearings, VANOS oil feed line or VANOS pump, alternator, SMG pump and other trans problems. They are not cheap cars to own and maintain. But since it won't be a daily driver...

    I had a customer that came in about 3-4 times over the span of a few months for various problems. It was at least $1k each visit.

    I’m in the market, too. Are the above items a mileage, abuse or time failure?

    Rod bearings are mileage based. How long that mileage is, depends on how it was taken care of and maintained. These engines should not be pushed hard when cold.
