more pics to come, started raining

88 m6 black with white interior, not perfect but might close, 3hr drive home and loved it

Classic. I like them. We had a 79 635csi, highly modded, for 10 years. Also a 73 Bavaria. But my time with them was enough. Have a 75 2002 that I plan to restore — much smaller and simpler.

well, its a 3 owner car, now 4 being me. last owner babied it for 25 years, paint and body is excellent, interior is very nice, not perfect but I would rate it a 7.5 out of 10, all original. 160k miles, runs excellent, no leaks, all records, only issue is the AC sucks but I am getting it updated to current AC system and the radio is a little noisy, however, the seller was great and told me of issues etc, very stand up guy, he was sad to see her go but I am very glad he did
an surprisingly for a car that hit 160k miles today its very tight, no rattles and everything works

stbm5 · 06-05-2025, 07:03 PM

its a great ride! anything 30+ years old and still driving will have some wear and tear.

Proper M car. Nice find. congrats.

PorscheTTS · 06-15-2025, 07:14 PM

been enjoying the hell out of it, drives wonderful and is very tight, getting the AC updated week from now so that will be nice, think im going to upgrade the music system as well

ShocknAwe · 06-17-2025, 01:18 PM

Old cars are great. Nice find.

TriumphTim · 06-18-2025, 07:05 AM

What did you and/or your shop decide on the details for the AC upgrade? How did they set the expectations for cooling at idle or speed?

no idea yet, they are doing the AC next week

TriumphTim · 06-20-2025, 08:10 AM

Ok, just generally curious, I help maintain a friend's 1988 M6 and interested in what people are doing at this point.

Last time I drove it, the AC worked ok but maybe not ice cold. Not sure how good these were when new?

good question, this car is in great shape, only issue is the AC which I was aware of when I bought it, got I new unit going in next week, excited for that, its just now getting hot in Memphis

IcewaterPete · 06-22-2025, 10:17 PM

Excellent find! Congrats!

I’d be interested in your thoughts after a couple of months driving it around.

I love how it drives, suspension is tight, no rattles, cars very tight, no leaks, etc runs like a champ, other than AC but im replacing that whole system with the newest so that should make it near perfect for me

PorscheTTS · 06-27-2025, 12:17 PM

got the new AC installed, now the car is near perfect for a short road trip and cruiser, blows pretty cold, money well spent
