Reliability M6

Hello, I currently own an M6 SMG, but due to my living situation its just in storage for the last year. I am wondering if I should bite the bullet and sell it or if these cars are actually reliable? I'm clocked in at 11K, and only 3K of that was my driving. I would take a huge hit selling it. If I sell it I would consider an older cheaper BMW.

I also have a F360, which for the most part has been reliable knock knock. Are these M6 reliable? Do the clutches wear out fast? Besides oil, anything common going out on these?

Toch wood, I have had mine for....well it will be exactl 4 years in Janary 2010 and i have justan idrive issue!
Changed tyres 3 times and the normal service costs, and insurance etc.
Same costs as any other supercar, but I decided to keep mine because I just can not think of anything else that I can replace it with.
For what it offers, it is a fantasticaly unique car!
Plus I cannot bare to face the depreciation that the car had since new!!!!!!

I've bought mine this february, and recently spent some money replacing SMG parts, and clutch, also had problems with AC pump, replaced worn tires, oil service, so it is expensive, but still wouldn't sell it, because i just LOVE it.
