Concours E24 Macao M6 or E30 M3
Discussion
Hi all - dilemma time. Fed up of modern boxes so sold up and going to get back into some old school M magic or indeed air cooled wonder
As always I'm on the hunt for exemplary incarnations and can't decide
The e24 M6 is a rare beast, to me in M6 guise it surely ranks as the most sexy M shape ever... My other candidate is an e30 M3 - This model is surrounded with legend status and is all about the drive
With the above in mind, the M6 seems a better buy at current prices with the M3 seemingly at the top of the financial food chain..
Think there's a stunning low mile Macao M6 at Munich Legends which looks familiar (seen at NEC and car shows, think owner owned a few 6 series?) Anyone know anything about it??
There is a reasonable choice of e30 M3's but one has just scrambled my brain - an M3 Cab at Classic Hero's ?!?
Not considered a convertible but sure looks pretty!!
So there you go - a complete mumble jumble of thought process, but if anyone can offer some advice, or point me towards
a perfect specimen - please do so.
Thanks

Many thanks for that. I thought it possibly was the same car - truly drooling! I made enquiries last week at Munich Legends about it but notice the advert details have been removed from their site. Removed although not showing as sold??
Would you happen to know the owner and if its still for sale??

Many thanks for info and pointers....
I used to be heavily involved with the BMW scene, at one time owning 1 x black E28 M5, 1 x red E28 M5, 1 x E24 M6 Dolphin highline with only 19k and also a E24 635 Highline. This was at a time when they could be purchased, driven and enjoyed with lesser regard to the finances. 'Sigh' !!
At present an M6 appeals to me (the most pleasing M to the eye and a relaxed driving M classic)
An E30 M escaped me previously and is an itch that needs itching! I appreciate that the M3 cab is possibly not considered
A halo M product, but wow it's a good looking thing...
I'm also starting to think maybe look at a tintop E30 M3 and again the RHD one at Munich Legends looks mighty interesting
Anyway I've made contact with the various vendors and a trip is planed for later in the week .... Watch this space

A nice predicament to be in.
As you are looking for "exemplary incarnations", have you considered this E30 M3. I have not seen the car in the flesh but there can't be many nicer standard E30 M3's out there, it's not cheap though £75,000, but seems to be within in your price bracket.

Is the car that you are going to buy going to be a daily driver? You say that you have sold your modern car so I am guessing it is to be a daily driver. If so then I would advise against buying the Macau M635. The car is perfect and it would degrade very quickly if daily driven. The underside hasn't got a spec of dirt on it and the immaculate lotus White leather and white carpet would be filthy in no time. The same would also apply to the very low mileage E30 M3 convertible which also has Lotus white leather.
At the end of the day it's your money and you can enjoy both cars as you see fit but you would devalue both cars quite quickly, that would need to be taken into account.
Personally, I would take a tin top E30 M3 over a convertible as I just feel the E30 M3 convertible was more of a marketing gimmick as opposed to an enthusiasts car, the classic heroes car does look stunning though.
If it was my money, I would have that beautiful Macau M635, but I would be afraid to drive it on anything but sunny days.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
into some air cooled (3.2 or 993)
As with most living this relentless modern life, I don't even find much time to drive my crappy cars let alone the 'special' garaged job!
Whichever model my next car is, it will be for high and dry days only - quite happy to ogle, polish and just enjoy ownership..
