The selftimer that was present in earlier Leica models (M2,3,4 etc.) was
replaced by the battery compartment in the M6.  There was no other room
available in the body, so Leica sacrificed the self-timer for the meter.

There are mechanical (spring-driven) self-timers that screw into the
shutter release button, much like a cable release.  They are available at
most good camera stores.
