Hi all
Been looking at an M6 Coupe however after a couple of weeks negotiating someone stepped in and bought it. Yesterday the dealer rang me about an M6 GC they had just got in "AUC".
My question is does the GC retain the "M6" image or is it a bit more subtle. Not seen the GC but my gut feeling is to wait for another coupe. Viewing tomorrow

To me the GC is better proportioned than the Coupe.
If you ever need to take rear seat passengers that are not small kids, get the GC.
The Coupe will have fractionally better performance than the GC, but it's splitting hairs.
The GC is a very large car, it's over 5m long, the Coupe is not exactly small, but adds another 113mm.
If you are considering the GC, you should consider the M5 too.

I've been searching for a nicely specced used 640d M Sport Coupe for a little time with little luck. Perhaps time to consider a GC now.
Plenty of cars with the standard Dakota leather, which is fine in your 3 series rep special but not befitting of a 6 series surely? Also very few cars around with Adaptive Drive.

OK, search on hold until I get back onshore in 10 days. In the meantime I have been doing a bit of reading. Is it true that the "M"'s use a fair bit of oil , 1ltr/1000 miles ??
Day before I came off-shore was offered a good deal on a new M5 but didn't have time to pull trigger, however was impressed with test drive so thinking of taking that route to M car ownership

That's because the Nappa leather and Adaptive Drive are both too expensive as options. Also on new car / PCP deals they do not increase residual value. LED lights which I wanted (and are standard now) are the same.Plenty of cars with the standard Dakota leather, which is fine in your 3 series rep special but not befitting of a 6 series surely?

Oil usage is massively affected by the way the engine is run for the first 50-100 miles.If they are driven too gently then you'll get high oil consumption. If they are driven with maximum allowed revs and plenty of engine braking then you should get low oil consumption.
Mine uses about 0.25L every 10,000 miles.

Aside from the service, over 18000 miles I can't recall adding any oil at all.
