To buy or not to buy?
Hello,
I am giving serious thought to picking up a 1984 BMW M6. This car currently belongs to a friend who is moving to Germany (from cali), I know he would never sell it unless he had to, he has offered it to me for $10,000. This car is in SHOWROOM quality, last year it was repainted, the interior was redone (in white leather), and the engine was rebuilt and brought back to stock spec. This car would retail for around $18,000 (its in that good of a condition). Other cars in slightly worse condition are on autotrader's page for $20K. I have personally driven in this vehicle, I have put it to the max, and I like what I see.
The specs (from G-Tech pro on way to Las Vegas last year)
0-60 - 6.5seconds
max accel. - 158mph
horsepower - 298bhp
This is stock, for a 17 year old car. I was wondering if anybody had personal experiance with the M6 series? Or if anybody knew of some nice aftermarket performance products? I am looking to get around 350bhp with a supercharger, but I am not sure if there is one around, could I use a M1 supercharger on the engine? Quite a few resources say it is the exact same engine, so theoretically I could install a stock M1 charger, no? Then again in the M6 the engine is at a 30 degree tilt to fit in the chassis, would this affect placement?
