I would happily bet money the S85 in an M6 is way more reliable than any R8 or Gallardo.

The DI V8/10 used to have major carbon buildup issues. There is no fix for that.

I'd buy the S85 (friend has one in a 6MT M5 from 2009 and it's just incredible) with a valved exhaust and just pay the 2-3k to get the bearings changed
