The BMW V10 - Feared and Misunderstood - 3 Year Owner Driving Review

Driving the M6 V10 Manual and giving thoughts about the things that make it great, common misconceptions, and its pitfalls.

Great video. I have a 2009 M6 E63 6MT M6, interlagos blue with silverstone interior. These cars are severely undervalued, especially manual.

Finally, an owner that actually understands these machines. They are super cars that need proper maintenance like any other super car. I have 2 E60 M5s, SMG pump died on my daily at only 50k miles. Going to upgrade it with a MLR pump myself. And yeah, I daily it, I can’t drive any thing else. If you do the work yourself? These are a dream!

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

Thank you - totally agree with your thoughts!

[@ericsteiger8742]

Great video! One of the best reviews I’ve seen

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

Thank you!!

There is another gentleman that has a channel focused on his E63 V10, while he doesn't have a manual, he also says most of what you say. staying on top of Bearings, Vanos and Actuators is key. I love those cars, to me they are supercars. they are beautiful, fast and sound amazing. I do not have one yet but I have had a chance at two manuals but because of my procrastination and the timing wasn't right, they got snapped up in a blur. I really want a manual but if I can't find one, I may go after a F13. I want to thank you like I thanked him thank you for the great video and keep the videos coming about your journey with your amazing machine. I may be joining you guys soon. BTW, if you would like to see his channel it's called "CRAZY DAY DRIVE" I'm ROC.

SMG Manual is great. Original owner of 2007 M6 e64 here. Few problems last 17 years.

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

Awesome - thanks for the feedback and channel rec!

[@blu_is500]

I loved watching this video, very nice! I wish folks would let their cars warm up fully before getting on them. Thanks for posting, the cars sounds awesome!

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

Thanks for the kind words! Beautiful IS500. That car is on my short list - need to get behind the wheel of one soon.

@@NorthoftheWallGarage Thanks! I freaking love this thing. It’s not for everyone, but if you understand its mission is to illicit an emotional response, you’ll love it. 😎

@@blu_is500 love to hear it. If you’re ever in upstate NY or driving up to Toronto let me know! We can link up

Good that its underappreciated, i want one lmao 😂 Dont appreciate them so price wont go up

[@jamesbooth3360]

Before commenting on convertible, drive one. I have loved mine since new in 2007. Quiet, comfortable, and extra fun when weather permits top down cruising. I have consistently seen 19 mpg hwy since new at 70-80 mph.

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

I own the convertible!

[@More_nitrogen12]

Which car would you prefer the M6 or the Audi S8 V10? Just wondering I’m looking into both

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

The Audi V10s were cool but significantly detuned from their Lamborghini counterparts. I like the BMW V10 because it was the best they could offer at the time! If you’re going automatic, the S8s transmission is likely much more reliable than the BMW SMG. If you can find a manual M6, I’d go that route

[@PUNISHER786786]

Hey bro i also have a bmw m6 convertible what spoiler is that?

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

Unfortunately I do not know! Bought it with the spoiler on it. May eventually remove it you are interested

[@user-un3nr7ws5s]

What exhaust you have?

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

Unfortunately I don’t know. Appears to be custom - it’s a bit loud on cold starts honestly.. would like to switch to a proper brand name

[@doompenguin7453]

It's not misunderstood at all. If I have to spend 2k a year for maintenance of an engine, that's just a pos.

[@somerandombloke69]

if you buy a car from 2006 that has an F1 engine in it, you would expect to spend some money on it, doesn't make it a piece of shit that just makes you delusional

[@grantleroux1593]

Some things are worth the trouble,the s85 is definitely one of those things.want reliability go buy a toyota you'll even get extra cup holders..😂.

[@NorthoftheWallGarage]

Every exotic car ever is a POS then 🤷‍♂️

[@doompenguin7453]

@@NorthoftheWallGarage well, yes. You can have engines with a lot of power that don't break all the time.

[@grantleroux1593]

Name a few?lol.
