First M6 vin 2560001 FS in Poland?

Post by Pod »

I've seen this on ebay a couple of times and was surprised it hasn't sold yet, as it looks pretty good for the money (£19,900).

I did a little surfin' the net and wound up on the "M" registry and found this!

NAME Donald Ploetner
MODEL E24 M6
MODEL CODE 5514
VIN WBAEE140XH2560001
PRODUCTION DATE September 1986
COUNTRY OF ORIGINAL SPECIFICATION United States
EXTERIOR COLOR (PAINT CODE) Royal Blue metallic (198)
INTERIOR COLOR (UPHOLSTERY CODE) Silvergrey Nappa leather (0201)
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT + COMMENTS
This pre-production M6 has the lowest VIN of any North American-spec model, though it was actually the eighth example to be completed. It is one of just two U.S.-spec M6s produced without power front seats or the fixed rear center console. Despite the date on the door jamb sticker, this car was in fact built on September 15, 1986. It lived in California until 2006, when it was purchased by a gentleman in Washington D.C., then by a gentleman in Rhode Island soon after. The car now belongs to BMW of Oyster Bay in New York and is going to go through a complete restoration in the near future.


Anybody over the other side of the pond know anything about this? How did it get to Poland, or is that car not all it is made out to be :-k
