New car

thedza · 04-12-2018, 04:41 PM

After what feels like forever searching for the perfect f06, I finally picked one up last night and am loving it so far.

Details:
2016 650i RWD
Mediterranean blue metallic
Cognac/Black nappa leather
M sport
Driver Assistance plus
Executive package
B&O sound

I had never seen mediterranean blue in person, but it's very close to le mans blue (my other car is a 6MT LMB e90), which I love. Don't have many pics yet, but will try to take some soon. I do have a few questions for the forum:

1) I'm currently on stock RFT's with 20" 373s. I'm thinking of going down to 19s and putting all seasons on. Can anyone with 19s share pics? I don't think downsizing will look bad but just want to double check, I live in a city and don't need 20s.

2) Warranty - factory warranty is good until 2020/50k miles. What are opinions on getting an extended warranty? I bought the car from Carmax, who are offering to extend another 3 years past factory for 2.5k-3.5k depending on the deductible. I plan to keep the car for more than two years, so I feel like this may be worth it...but I'm not sure. I know I should expect more issues than with my e90 (no problems in 4 years, now at 80k).

3) Is there anyone in the DC/DMV area that can help me with coding? Really want to just have the windows close/mirrors fold with the fob, but maybe some other goodies as well.

Anyway, here she is!

Thanks Walt! Updated the post with more pics from earlier today (have already blacked out the badging, am doing the side vents now and have ordered matte black m6 kidney grilles as well. Wheels will likely be black once I get around to them).

Can anyone weigh in on the extended warranty??

haha, you'll love the GC! I sold my E90 M3 for the M6 GC.

I used to live in DC, and Merlosso did feature coding for me. He's up in MD.
