Sure, if you're willing to pay the price. Take about a $15K hit on the trade, or sell it yourself for a $10k loss. Your car is titled and used. Fact of life. How bad do you want the M6?

Have to say, after being completely wedded to the idea of an M6, I think I'm going with a loaded 650. The '13 models have 445hp. I can get nearly every option ("individual" options too) on a loaded 650 aside from DCT in an M6. I can also get MUCH more off (in percentage terms) on a 650 than an M6 right now. Going to buy, but in a discussion on leasing the M6 vert after 3 years 15K per is only 51%, that's 8% less than the 650 vert. So for me, living in a metro area, I think I can live w/o the hp between 445 and 560 while keeping nearly every other aspect of the M6 experience and save $24K. That's just in the sales price. I'd also save a grand on the personal property tax in VA. We're taxed at $5.00 per hundred dollars of valuation here in Arlington and that's paid every year. Around $6K for the M6 and $5k for the 650.

Only thing is I have to wait for a Mar build to get the new iDrive in the M6 now.
Just points to ponder if you haven't thought of them. I know many buy the M6 with no thoughts about the cost but I'm still a "money is money" guy and that cash buy lots of other toys.

Dealer told me an interesting story yesterday. Lady bought the debut M6 (blue/black everyone got) and traded in her X5. In two weeks she wanted to return it because "her dogs didn't like it." Her X5 had been serviced, furnished with new tires etc. When the smoke cleared she got her old car back and lost $30k. Can't make it up.
