This 1987 BMW M6 coupe is finished in Cinnabar Red over Lotus White leather, and it is powered by a 3.5-liter S38 inline-six mated with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, air conditioning, a sunroof, a Billy Boat exhaust system, 17″ Style 5 alloy wheels, power windows, and power-adjustable front seats. The car spent time in North Carolina and Nevada prior to the current owner’s acquisition and relocation to Mississippi in March 2021. Service performed within the past 2k miles included coolant and transmission fluid flushes, and replacing the idler arm, water pump, valve cover gasket, control arm bushings, spark plugs, and more as detailed below.
The body is finished in Cinnabar Red (138) and features a power sunroof, an M-Technic rear lip spoiler, a front air dam with integrated fog lights, and body-color mirror caps.
Style 5 17″ wheels sourced from a newer 5-Series model are wrapped with Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted four-wheel discs with an anti-lock system, and the car is equipped with independent front and semi-trailing arm rear suspension with a self-leveling system. Records indicate steering and suspension components were replaced in February 2018.
Lotus White (0199) leather covers the seating surfaces, lower dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include air conditioning, rear climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer, a factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, and power-adjustable front seats with driver’s memory settings.
An M-Technic I steering wheel frames instrumentation consisting of a 170-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows under 87k miles.
The 3.5-liter S38B35 inline-six features Bosch Motronic fuel injection and four valves per cylinder, and factory-rated output was 256 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque when new. The intake manifold and valve cover have been finished in red, and service performed in February 2018 service included replacement of the water pump, valve cover gasket, radiator hose clamp, and spark plugs. The oil was most recently changed in June 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and records show that the rear differential was serviced, the transmission fluid was flushed, and transmission mounts were replaced in February 2018.
