The original M6 is still a great looking automobile. Very classic.

Yeah, but M engines were hand built back then.

BTW, The last M car to receive a hand built engine was the E34 M5. Since then they are mass produced.

Funny you mentioned that, but I was talking with a BMW Service Advisor of 25 years. He stated how the hand built engine appear to have been more reliable.

Very interesting. Probobly because there was much more care put into the production process. I will say that every BMW i have owned has been flawless.
