2015-2016 M6 Coupe/Gran Coupe Pros and Cons

Hey there fellas, I hope everyone is doing fine. I currently own a 2015 BMW 535i M sport Package and Im going to graduate to college next year so im gonna change my car. I was highly interested in the M6 Coupe or Gran coupe, Either in White or Blue or Red. I been looking at used ones 2015-2016 Over here in New York and They cost around $70,000 to $80,000 tops. I wanted to know pros and cons of the car, In terms of real life reviews, I mean youtube reviews are fine but I dont always believe them.

Thank you for the replies!

IMO you shouldn't pay more than $65-67K for a '15 M6 GC, assuming it has at least another 18 mo. or so of warranty left. Even less if it doesn't have B&O and CP.

I bought my '15 CP loaded w every option except CCBs in April and here are my pros/cons (have always had BMWs except my last car which was an E63 AMG):

Pros
- Gorgeous car, I get compliments almost every where I go. Even w/o compliments, it's so fn beautiful, I still can't get over it. Never been so in love w a sedan's cosmetics before
- Tech is still pretty serviceable and not outdated. Drove a '17 540i the other day w all the goodies and the only thing I missed was the wireless cell phone charging
- Power & mods. More than enough in stock form and mods are relatively cheap (love this about Bimmers vs. AMG)
- Suspension is great even though it's a plumper, mostly predictable and has good feel

Cons:
- Absolutely pathetic that a $140K+ MSRP car doesn't have an auto close trunk lid
- Traction issues inherent w this much HP going to RWD only
- Stock exhaust, even w CP, is kinda lame. It sounds so weak it's almost like you need catless DPs or an aftermarket exhaust at least to match the rest of the car's specs
- It's big. There's no getting around the size, it will take time to get used to. My E63 never felt this big.

IMO M6 Coupe is the best looking BMW ever made. It's powerful and fun to drive. Let me tell you this way: After driving M4 for 10 months, I miss my M6 every single day. The only reason I don't want to get another M6 is because I was with this body (F13) for 5 years and am waiting for new generation of M6 (or M8) to get that car.

Pros: Beautiful, Powerful, fast and high quality.
Great engine, transmission(DCT), suspension and Active M Differential
Top of the BMW lineup!

Cons: Big, heavy (as an M car) and has no enough room on back seat. In fact M4 has more room than M6.
