Engine shows a healthy compression test with 14,5-15bar across all cylinders. Our smoke test was also good as no leaks were found in the intake system (common problem with the M6Xs. The cooling system showed no leaks even with 2 bars of pressure. The engine idles smoothly, pulls strond and sounds amazing. Did I even say that I love V8s?
The gearbox runs flawlessly in both automatic and semi-automatic modes. Shifts are smooth and predictable.
The EDC (Electronic Damper Control, if you are asking yourself) was smartly removed and shocks were replaced with regular units.
Some suspension ball-joints would need replacement due to worn boots:
– Front main suspensión arms
– Rear sway bar links
– Rear suspension arms (the little ones which always break in E38/E39s)
Rear mufflers were replaced for «sportier» units.
Last Official Inspection (TÜV) showed no defects.
