New to me - 2014 650i
Hi everyone. Just picked up my 2014 Carbon Black 650i with 33k miles. I recently just sold my e92 M3 and wanted more of a GT car since I already have my fun e36 M3. I really wanted a M6, but I couldn't justify paying an additional $20k when this is just going to be used as a weekend car. I'm very happy with my choice. I had a hard time trying to finding anything locally, so I started browsing Carmax. I've never purchased a car there, but have always heard positive reviews. I met a really good sales guy and found a perfect fit from CA. M-sport package, B&O stereo, low miles. Pretty much loaded. The price was lower than any car I looked at with similar features. I have to tell you, the whole process through Carmax was awesome. It took 35 mins by the time I got to the dealership, signed the paperwork, and my car was ready. They give you 30 days to fix anything that is wrong and the MaxCare warranty is cheaper than any BMW dealership I called.
Looking forward to driving the car this weekend and getting to know her. Cheers!

Great car, enjoy! Now ditch the RFT's, you'll learn to hate them in short order

It slightly did but every shop I talked to made it sound like they didn't have experience so . . . .

Looks great!
H&R springs might work if you don't live in NYC or anywhere near potholes But AC Schitzner has been rated much better than H&R by all my M5/M6 friends. Although, Coilovers should be the way to go if you buying the car.

If I recall, H&R makes Schnitzer springs and sell them for substantially less as well. The ride is best described as tauter. The rebound is much shorter and quicker and the ride while firmed up, hasn't caused the Missus any noticeable displeasure in long distance rides (2-4 hr rides in last 2 weeks)

Similar here, brought the car out from CA, low miles, good price even given transport fee. Doesn't have B&O but does have Amaru leather which was my preference. Since we aren't too distant (I'm just across the river) thought it might do to drop a line. |

You're just jealous! You're dreaming of a 6 series in your garage.
