I've owned M cars for 18 years. They have all been rock solid as long as you know how to operate machinery properly. I've never done excessive preventative maint... only oil changes 1/2 intervals. No bearing issues, vanos, SMG problems etc.

Warm them up. Run em hard... cool them down. Put a fan in your garage and run it under the front bumper 24/7. Keeps heat soak to a min and drags all the heat out. Heat is the #1 killer of any car... and the M6 is a hot MF
