Can you help. I am looking to purchase another M635 for daily use, prefer a highline but will consider a non highline. Must be in good condition and low mileage. ------------- Ross |

Hi Ross
Don't know your budget but is this one still for sale on this site? 
It's very low mileage and £11k - might have been sold though. Good luck with the search - keep us posted on your progress! See you at Hestercombe? Nick ------------- Nick |

Never seen an M6 with full cloth seats before - seen one with beige half
cloth/half suede at ML. If it's had new sills, it means that the dreaded tinworm has already had a go so I would check the front wings, inner wings and floorpans very carefully - is it a big (i.e. expensive) job to replace the sills? Silly question I guess! At 76K it might still be on the original tiiming chains and in my experience a lot of the seals and gaskets start to fail on these engines after 20 years, even if the mileage is low so I would expect that most of them have been replaced by the current owner. It's not too far from ML so I wonder if they have looked after it? It will be interesting to see if it reaches its reserve. A similar car sold recently for around £6K with only slightly higher miles. ------------- Nick |

Looks like a lovely car to me, I wouldn't orry about the sills being replaced, the way I see it, if your doing such a thing which is fairly involved you are going to replace anything else which is on the way out. Looks like a genuine mileage car, i would be shocked if the timing chain has been replaced. From what we see it looks like an £8k car to me.

It'll probably find its way out to Australia eventually.... -------------

Hmmm, four people have had a go at it already, and at £4k it's nowhere near the reserve either.... -------------

Noticed yesterday that the red one with low mileage
that was for sale on this site for £11K is now being advertised by a dealer in Classic Cars magazine for a cool £13K. ------------- Nick |

This will be Ross's every day machine replacing his Mercedez E320 Diesel. It's as i mentioned earlier a short term solution untill his new M6 arives with something over 500BHP and 10 cylinders.....

Hi Nick, Until Saturday munich legends were rebuilding a C Reg for me, It has done 100K+ miles. They started 3 months ago and today I'm going to collect an 8 series, R reg 23,500 miles, from a dealer in Birmingham. I got tired of waiting for news and the feeling that I was pestering them for info every two weeks. However there is one there, I gave back word on it yesterday. Good luck Henners ------------- Best Regards Henners |

Thanks Henners, but I doubt I could afford ML's asking price for a
restored M6. I have decided to wait until an M6 Highline comes up, preferably one with black leather. I like the 'Shadowline' dechromed look and it's quite rare on the early cars. I would consider a manual 635 Highline but I've never seen a dechromed one for sale. Good luck with the 8 - I've always admired them and still do a double take when I see one on the road. Stunning value aren't they! I see that you're in my neck of the woods as I am moving to Sheffield in July - might see you at a Yorkshire meet if there are any. ------------- Nick |

Hi Nick, I have had the car for a day now, its going to be serviced for the first time since 8/2001. Can't wait for the bill. Will also be cleaning it today so hopefully will post a pic later, but we are off to Woking on saturday to see some friends. As I have only just joined although my father had several BM's when I was a spotty youth (2600, 2800, 728, 732 then the 635Csi), I do not know what the status is about meets in Yorkshire, I shall investigate. Good luck with the move. where in sheffield? Henners ------------- Best Regards Henners |
