Is a pre-2007 m6 a big no-no?
Discussion
Evening all, looking into purchasing an e63 m6, due to my budget it will be an early one, an '05 or '06 model, but reading up it seems the pre '07 models had issues with SMG software failure, and bmw did a fix/update in 2007 of which the cars are much better. Does anyone have any additional info or first hand experience/knowledge on this? Any input from previous or current owners much appreciated, as unfortunately if I want a low-ish mileage example, it will be an early model.
Many thanks in advance.

Can't help you with the upgrade to SMG but I was advised to buy low mileage and get a warranty by my local BMW indie. It was excellent advice!!
Good luck with your search
Many thanks, I will definitely be getting a warranty, and will get as low mileage as I can within my budget.Good luck with your search
To clarify, there have been zero significant changes to the any portion of the SMG across any year with the exception of programming changes in the SMG module and the OE supplier of the module itself.
The problems which have presented over the years on the early models are just as likely on the later ones, but knowledge and understanding of the box have increased significantly (well, outside of dealers anyway) reducing repair costs.
