The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
2016 BMW M6 Competition
***NO RESERVE*** Ex-press demonstrator which featured extensively in various magazine such as Autocar, when new costing in excess of £124,000
Registration - YE66 PYP
Chassis No. - 20011575
M.O.T. - December 2024
Odometer - 64,000
There are highly-specified sporting BMWs and then there are cars like this – exceptionally powerful, packed with the optional extras that come with the M6 Competition Package and with a fascinating history. ‘YE66 PYP’ was bought new in 2016 by BMW UK at a cost of some £124,000 and used as its press demonstrator – so featured extensively in Autocar and other magazines back in 2016. Sleekly presented with dark grey metallic paintwork and black, 20” five-spoke alloy wheels with gold M Series brake callipers, this four-door Gran Coupe is an enormous amount of car for the money, and particularly so when it is offered at No Reserve. The Competition Package brings stiffer springs, dampers and anti-roll bars, an upgraded, 592bhp twin-turbocharged V8 engine - capable of propelling the M6 from 0-62mph in a blistering 3.8 seconds - sports exhaust system and even more precise steering than the standard but still potent M6 variant. Inside, the elegant, inimitably sporting feel continues, with pale cream and black leather with white stitching and all the discreet but unmistakable blue and red touches of the M Series styling. There’s not enough space here to list all the ‘goodies’ in the specification list, which includes a Bang & Olufsen sound system, electric adjustable memory heated seats front and rear plus separate climate control for rear-seat passengers.
‘YE66 PYP’ is offered complete with original owner’s manual, service book and toolkit and a full service history which appears to support the declared mileage. After its stint as a demonstrator for BMW UK, the car was sold on through BMW dealer Halliwell Jones (Chester) – but the second owner sold it back to them after a month as he was a Porsche enthusiast who couldn’t resist the lure of going back to a Stuttgart-built machine. The current – and third - keeper bought the car from Halliwell Jones and has owned it for five years, during which time the only major item required over and above annual servicing and new wiper blades has been a new battery. The most recent service was a Halliwell Jones in December 2023, and the car has a current MOT to 12 December 2024. The vendor also treated the car to a Trackstar tracker, with two fobs. He rates all aspects of the car, including the seven-speed automatic transmission, as ‘excellent’.
In summary:
· A three-keeper example BMW’s powerful M6 Gran Coupe Competition
· Started life as BMW UK’s press demonstrator and ‘starred’ in Autocar
· Very highly specified and with full service history
