Is a pre-2007 m6 a big no-no?

[NAnut]

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.

I'm originally from west London, now in west Herts but in London most weekends.

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.

Yeah, from what I've read it was only software changes/updates.
Thanks for the info.
