Registration – YJ63 CYEChassis No. – WBS6C92030DV74225M.O.T. – September 2025Odometer – 63,000When the BMW M6 Gran Coupe was launched in 2012 it vied with the i8 as BMW’s most expensive model. In Gran Coupe mode the M6 is a fire breathing “four door coupe” with unmatched luxury and cachet. ‘YJ63 CYE’ garnishes that already exquisite recipe with a Stage 1 map bringing power up to a mighty 681bhp (readout provided). Offered here with no reserve, ‘YJ63 CYE’ is complete with a full BMW service history, four new tyres and new pads and discs throughout. With around 63,000 miles covered to date ‘YJ63 CYE’s’ exhibits significantly below average use in the hands of five former keepers. Complete with a valid MOT until September 2025, this is your rare chance to own a rang topping BMW with a huge 681bhp on tap.With the M6 Gran Coupe BMW pulled off the seemingly impossible. As Evo noted at its launch in 2012, it looks both sleeker than an M5 and cooler than the M6 Coupe. Praise indeed! ‘YJ63 CYE’ certainly validates that view in its stealthy Singapore Grey metallic livery with carbon fibre roof panel and chunky quad exhausts. Furthermore, ‘YJ63 CYE’ sits purposefully on a set of 20-inch BMW 433M alloys with diamond cut faces and black accents. The sumptuously appointed and fastidiously engineered four seater cabin is finished in Opal White Merino leather with carbon fibre accents. Given this car’s status in the model line up and nearly £100,000 original ticket price, it features every refinement that 2013 could muster. These include four zone climate control, electrically controlled and heated seats with memory function, wide-screen BMW Professional audio and satellite navigation system and heads up display. The vendor reports the paint and bodywork as “good” and the interior as “excellent.”As with all models carrying the revered M-Sport prefix, it is ‘YJ63 CYE’s’ mechanical specification that is likely to set the purists’ hearts a-flutter, however. The heart of this beast is the S63 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 that was shared with the M5. Power is distributed via a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with DRIVELOGIC. The advanced Active M differential shuffles torque across the rear axle to the prioritise the wheel with the most grip. Variable damper control optimises road dynamics in real time. In addition to all that, ‘YJ63 CYE’ enjoys a significant power boost courtesy of that Stage 1 map. No wonder the vendor confirms that “it goes like a rocket” and judges all mechanical systems as “excellent.”
