M6 competition package

[skated23]

Hi folks - I’m close to pulling the trigger on an M6 competition package. I need to make the final decision tomorrow AM. Would anyone like to talk some sense into me and talk me out of it? I’m half kidding. Any reason you experts know of that I should stay away. Car is basically brand new. 3k on odo. And still under full warranty.

Did it have it's 1200 mile break in service performed? That's the only question I would ask for a car with so few miles

Hi Flying Ace,

The car fax shows a 500 mile service. But I will verify. Thanks for raising this point!

If you are asking for advice on if it's a good deal then more information would be needed. Model year, price and options. I'm assuming it's a recent MY with so few miles, so other than the 1200 mile break-in service, which is required in order to purchase a BMW extended warranty, then the only other concern would be massive depreciation that these models take in the first 3 years

Thanks Rsuhandy! I was more asking because of the sheer impracticality of having a car with 600 hp. The last time I owned an M6, a lady police office wanted to have me spend two nights in jail for speeding

If brake in service was done then enjoy. We do not buy an M to be practical or to save money on gas or MPG =)

Love mine but its winter and she needs to take a long nap.

I am confused. If you want a practical car, buy a Civic. No one needs to dump $90k into any M cars for practical purpose....

anyways, your biggest risk is that BMW won't sell you extended coverage b/c the car missed it's break in service. Is it a real risk you should care about? I don't know, kind of up to you to decide depending on your ownership horizon. Your car will still be covered under the remainder of the original factory warranty.

Aside from this, as with any used car, you still have risks related to undisclosed accidents, lemon titles, etc etc etc etc

Haha... if that's the case, forget about this car... not only would take you to the jail, but also may hurt your life since she is a real monster
Oh BTW I got 3 speeding ticket in 3 years with this car

Haha. Fair point. I have a camry that I drive around daily. But, I sold my 911 earlier this year and have been itching to get into another 6 series. I had the original 2004 6er when it came back out. And, I had been looking at a 650 or an older M6. This car came along, and I just couldn't help myself

It's a disease man - I can't keep a car for more than 18 months.

BTW, It completely slipped my mind, but I should have mentioned it earlier, I am not actually *buying* the car. I am taking over someone's lease midstream. I've given up on the hassles on buying and selling cars. So, I am not too worried about the extended warranty.

I started the lease process today, and I got approved in two hours, and have already sent in my stage 2 docs. Hopefully, I should be in the M6 by weeks end.

As an side, a local dealership has a gold 2016 M6 sitting on their lot since end of 2015. I made them an offer to take the car of of their hands. The came back and told me the payment would be 2500-3000. *smh*

Well a lease changes everything. If the monthly payment is good then by all means go for it

without even looking at that gold car, I already know what car that is. It's a special edition Austin Yellow M6 "Competition Edition". It's a $160k sticker car and literally is loaded with everything AND M Peformance parts. Your best bet would to be buy that car outright than to lease it as you'll likely get a discount. That lease quote they gave you is probably off their original MSRP, when today, if you were buying it, there's got to be at least a 10%-15% discount off MSRP.

[skated23]

You are 100% correct. Though they have it listed at about 125k. I imagine someone could pick it up around 117, right?

My 2017 M6 sat on dealers lot for over a year and I received a 15% discount. This one is 2 years old. I would think more than 15% if dealer wants to move it.

Here is the car:

Almost identical to the one I am getting into. Just a different color.

It's a competition edition car though

Looks like they're already offering a 22.6% discount off the msrp. I'd push for 25% just because its been sitting for 2 years.
