Today is my first day filling up full tank together with octane booster. I drove it hard as usual in warm to hot weather, and there was not a hiccup. I was on the road for roughly 3 hours total, and it was fine. It seems like boosting octane rating did the trick, but I will try it a few more tanks before concluding this finding.

I just got low engine oil error today at roughly 6100 miles. This is probably 4th time since I own the car. I think I won 2013 worst BMW of the year.

Thanks wzj519, I just took the damn car to BMW of San Francisco today to get oil top off. They said I have to pay for oil. They said that oil change is included but not topping off oil. BMW ads said $0 maintenance for 4 years. I think I should get some kind of class action going at least for this crap.

MY SA doesn't even check the engine oil level anymore. I just pull up, say I want a top off, and out they come with a quart of oil. In fact, they don't even ask for my key fob like the first time. |

I never have to waste this much time dealing with car issue before. Model S P85+ from Tesla is becoming more and more attractive everyday. |

But when I am looking at the depreciate value of my 650gc with 6000kms I am confused to trade it in.

I have tried CLS before 650GC, and I like the way 650GC feels so much more. I also like the look of the GC better than the CLS. Technology/infortainment system wise, 650GC is also a notch more advanced. If BMW NA chooses to buy back rather than repair the car within a reasonable time frame, I might end up dipping into another 650GC or even M6GC if they offer me some good discount. Otherwise, I will switch camp and CLS AMG is definitely a strong contender.

I had recurring issues with my wife's 2012 740i, not recognizing her iPhone4s, which the car is supposed to be compatible with, after 2 tries, I told my SA they should think about buying the car back. The manager called, scheduled a special service visit, had a loaner waiting, and miraculously fixed the car within two days. Apparently they had to escalate the issue to the top of engineering and developed a firmware update that hadn't been release yet at that time. I was satisfied. That was a around the time I bought the M6GC. Now with iOS7, I'm afraid I'll have issues again, so we haven't updated our phones yet, but when we do, I'm confident that if I have problems, our dealer will handle it.

That's my bad. Man. If I am in the states, I am also want to go m6GC for sure. Anyway, hope BMW NA will give you a good solution. A new 650GC or the 6GC is waiting for you.

Just my personal experience... my last car was a Benz, E550, traded in on my M6GC. During the 4-1/2 years, 93,000 miles that I owned the Benz, that car was in the shop about 2x per year for issues including, cracked gas tank x2, panoramic sunroof motor x2, cam position sensors, x4, air suspension, and a few other minor issues, in total after the factory 50,000 mile warranty was up, about $9,000 in repairs..plus, the wood on the steering wheel cracked, the car was parked indoors day and night, peeling chrome from the plastic door handles inside the car, and un-even tire wear on the front tires, usually cupped on the inside, causing tire noise after about 15,000 miles.
