Fair price and car seat question.

Hi Folks,

I am looking to get back into a 6 series. It was my first exotic and loved it.

I am looking at a 2012, with about 43K in miles, 650 X drive.

Exterior is in pretty good shape. It has the M sport package.

What would say is a fair price?

Also, any suggestions for a front facing car seat for my 2.5 yr old?

Thanks in advance.

The V8 engine in the 2012 was problematic and I'd steer clear of it. The problems were solved in the 2013 model year. Suggest you do some research.

I have a front facing for my 3 year old and any car seat will fit.

Look at Britax for some good ones on Amazon

Hey Duff I know you have a GC but it looks like the OP is looking at a coupe considering its a 2012. To the OP, the back seat in the coupe is waaayyy smaller. I am 5'9" and literally could not sit in the back seat. I would suggest a gran coupe considering you have a 2.5 year old. I have a rear facing and a front facing in my GC right now. Plus, the rear doors will give you easier access to your little one.

I have a recommendation for a front facing:

I use the Diono Radian RXT. It's billed as a slim profile seat. We have 2 kids, so we have 2 seats side by side and having the 3rd seat free for an audlt in the rear of a X5 is critical.

Now if you only have 1 kid and likely will only have 1 more person in the back, and using the 6er, then you may not value slim profile.

Thanks, everyone. I decided to pass on the 2012 650 thanks to Walt White's post. Decided to go with an M6 Coupe as Flying Ace knows.

BMWShay - Thanks. I just didn't want four doors because I don't want my 6 series to be a the go to daddy car. But, when it's just the two of us, I'd like to be able to take him for rides.

Flying Ace: I'll check out the Diono. Thanks all!

Good choice. The Coupe is a much prettier car.

I had the same struggle. I am really a coupe guy but I figured I'd be practical and get the 4 door. BTW, I use a Graco front facing car seat. I forget the exact model (either Nautilus 65 or Contender 65) as they are some of the slimmest on the mark.et
