M6 Gran Coupe Question

evil-G-nius · 04-05-2026, 11:32 PM

Hello all. I have been looking into buying a Gran Coupe M6, preferably 2017 - 2019. My question for you all, is there any particular year to stay away from? Like if I found a low mileage 2015...would that be just as fun of an experience as a 2017 or better? I have been seeing them pop up all over the country for reasonable prices and I feel like who not. Any help, thoughts or insights you guys may have would be greatly appreciated and helpful

The F-chassis M6 models used the the S63TU (S63B44T0) engine through the production run from 2012-2019...and by 2015, the main external visual difference from the later model years (LCI) is the 2015's front headlights have their turn indicators below the headlights whereas the facelift incorporated the front turn indicators up into the eyebrows of the headlights.

Inside the cabin the biggest difference is the version of iDrive. The 2015 will probably have NBT/ID4...the 2016 will probably have NBT/ID5...and a late 2017 or 2018 may have NBT/ID6

So basically it comes down to facelift and tech

Yep....that's pretty much it...which leaves the decision as to what is most important to the buyer.

I have seen some shots of the newer infotainment I Drive...it looks pretty cool. I do like the refresh front end more than anything. I appreciate the help fellas. Now the search begins.

I found one that was gorgeous...happened to be a Competition model too...but it also ended up being a lemon title! I don't want that headache.
