All standard and had zero problems, most reliable car I've had in years!

Damn your a lucky man.

I just hit 75k miles on my '14 GP!!

1SexyM6, what color is you M6? I have the Blue convertible in Palm Beach.

Ther’s a 142k (km) 12’ F13 for sale in Melbourne at the moment

Contact the dealer for info on what has been done so far...

RagtagXMASTER · 08-20-2018, 02:16 PM

50K miles on the clock

mjposner · 08-20-2018, 07:18 PM

What's crazy is they want roughly $57k for the 88k mile 2012 M6 Coupe. Dealer Retail per Edmunds for a 2013 is 37k in the US.

MelbourneFinn · 08-21-2018, 08:34 AM

Yes (if you mean the one in Melbourne), but the prices of these are off the charts in Oz compared to US... New F13 was in the neighbourhood of $300k AUD, so +$200k USD when new...

johndem · 08-21-2018, 04:42 PM

15K miles here! 2013

Totally agree

Kev.k · 09-01-2018, 06:44 PM

I thought the M5/6 V8 was reliable as far as M car engines go?

mjposner · 09-02-2018, 04:42 PM

How do you define reliable? Failing and stranding or needs occasional service/repair beyond maintenance?

malcoll · 09-02-2018, 08:48 PM

Bought my 2014 M6 GC in October 2017 with 32,000 miles... has 49,000 now...... we have 6 cars total and 3 motorcycles, but I just love driving the M6!!!! I've changed the oil twice and the diff fluid once...

As in not having the various issues associated with some m car engines.

Vanos, bearings etc.

As far as M engines go, this current batch is one of their most reliable in history. Both the i6's and V8's need decent maintenance and they'll go for 100+ rather easily. Nothing major as far as I know.
Beats the reliability of the previous generations.

castlesteve · 10-28-2018, 01:06 PM

I've owned M cars for 18 years. They have all been rock solid as long as you know how to operate machinery properly. I've never done excessive preventative maint... only oil changes 1/2 intervals. No bearing issues, vanos, SMG problems etc.

Warm them up. Run em hard... cool them down. Put a fan in your garage and run it under the front bumper 24/7. Keeps heat soak to a min and drags all the heat out. Heat is the #1 killer of any car... and the M6 is a hot MF

2007 to 2016 M6 Cab · 11-06-2018, 01:10 AM

Did the Dinan ... the handling was much betTer in the corners ... and day to day driving was sill very comfy. Feedback and handling was much tighter!

I was impressed!

TomM6 · 11-07-2018, 12:20 PM

Did you do the Dinan sway bars too? Any feedback on Dinan sway bars is appreciated.
Thanks
