Bmw M6 for 30k
Discussion
Guys I need your helping in deciding on what to do.
I have always loved the M6 since 2005 but couldn't afford one at £93k.
Fast forward 4yrs later and I've seen one for £30k. The spec of the car is high.
Full leather 5k option
Comfort access
ETC ETC (too much to list)
41k miles
FSH and warranty
2 owners
The car is in Silverstone and the Interior is red leather. I really like the silverstone when i first saw it on the M5.
I want to be able to keep the car for about 12 months and hope to lose about £6k on it. Do you think this is right or would i lose a lot more?
I do about 7k miles per year, so petrol is not really an issue.
Your adivse would be appreciated. Thanks

Due to the limited numbers and the fact that it represents the high point of crazed, M screamers, the E63/64 M6 may become a bit sought after as people tire of the next gen, 'me too' torque monsters.
Prices are stable c/o supply + demand and well cared for cars may depreciate glacially going forth.
I'm getting 14.5 mpg which would cause palpatations for a Ewing but the pathetic fuel tank would have even old JR bailing out faster than Cliff Barnes from Sue Ellen's musky hollow post job.
I, otoh, am stoopid.

Here is a vid I did when the car was new and delimited at Hartge...flat out, you can see the fuel gauge move in four minutes

Go for a mint CSL instead.
No way man. Need a car i can drive on the road and be comfortable but still have the speed when i want, and besides I have had 3 M3 in the past 5yrs.From what I've read the M6 is a bit more special.
I wouldn't even attempt to take a guess what residuals will be like though as mine has dropped like a lead balloon since I got it.
Take a test drive, the engine is worth the money alone.
Tiff liked the M5...

and the M6 is supposed to be better..
I've had my M6 nearly a year now and loving it. The performance is addictive and the drive on twisty roads is amazing for a car of it's size. The thing I like most about it is that it can be a very comfy motorway cruiser when required and then turn into a b-road hooligan. My previous 911 was great as the latter and poor as the former. Can't wait for the thaw to get her out of the garage again.
The downside to the M6 is not really the poor MPG (you expect that) but the small tank and limited range. I guess also it doesn't look as special as say a AM or a XKR (if looks bother you).
Re the car you mention the seat colour is the issue. I had a E46 M3 a few years ago with kiwi leather. I liked it but it did cause some sucking of air through teeth when it came to trade in time.
Go buy the car you'll love it.
