But agreed, Id like an M6GC, but dont want to pay 35-40K for one.
You should be able to pick up an approved used one for just over £30k. Even lower if you're not fussy about spec/higher milage.

The thing with the M6GC being so rare is that if you look at the BMW website, there's often only 4-5 cars for sale at any one time, which, depending on the age/apec/mileage of those cars, could give a skewed view of current prices.

I'm pretty sure there have been a few approved M6GC below the £30k threshold.

Ill keep watching. The cheapest AUC car was £38K. There's a few sub £30K privately but typically 7 owners or something like that.

I am thinking of selling mine soon!

I want to bite the bullet and get a Ferrari 458 and run a 330D as a daily!

I know, I absolutely love and cherish it but its not my dream car IE a Ferrari.

Reality is I will probably be keeping it because my mrs will have kittens if I even floated the subject lol!

Does your Zonda not classify as a dream car??!!


Interestingly, the guy I bought my M6 GC from was replacing it with a GT3 and his missus was NOT happy about the decison hehe

I do get where you're coming from, and I would suggest it's probably the right thing for you to do to go off and scratch the supercar itch (otherwise the yearning will never go away), but I having come from a supercar (which was amazing 5% of the time, a bit of a faff the other 95%) you may well return. smile

I
Er.......^^^^^this^^^^^^^???????????????????

I was going to sell mine and my Griff and buy a 991 Turbo but instead swapped just the TVR and plan to keep the M6 for a bit longer it is a lovely bit of kit.

Wives def love it from a passenger perspective it is supremely comfortable and well equipped.

Anybody used Carbon Factory spoiler for their M6. Sophisticated or tatty?

I like mine. I think it finishes off the top of the boot and ties in with the roof quite well, but this probably depends on the colour of the car to some extent. It's more subtle than some. Main criticism is that the weave is not the same as the roof, but you have to look closely to spot it.

The carbon boot spoiler 100% does finish the M6GC's tail end and i agree it does compliment the carbon roof.

Thats my fear. It will be a "weekend" car where I wont use it every day where as my M6 is a daily and I enjoy every last bit of it.

Im having a moment. OK - mind changed, im keeping it.

Did you buy OEM or from Carbon Factory?

OEM. It was fitted in 2014, there were not many options then, even the OEM one was only just available.

Just bought the OEM carbon fibre rear spoiler (£540!!! from sycamorepeterborough BMW on ebay compared to £170.00 from carbon factory ) and front spoiler £74.51 direct from BMW. I have also ordered carbon fibre rear diffuser for £350.00 from Carbon Factory, the OEM rear diffuser costs about £1000.00. I hope I keep the car for a long long period to justify these expenses.

Well my late 2017 M6 Coupe will be sold to WBAC on Friday due to lack of use and strong prices. Will miss it big time, but the time is right. Currently on an adventure around Scotland where it is performing excellently. I doubt I’ll own anything this powerful again, it will be missed

Hi
Just managed to get my hands on a BMW M6 Gran coupe competition Pack Facelift, I was just curious how many competition Packs were sold in the UK? Facelift and non facelift.
