Wow I’m staggered how dirty it is inside what an embarrassing advert. They have even taken close ups of the filthy interior. Seats are black, smears dust and dirt doesn’t present as a well looked after car and shame on the dealer to advertise it like that

Agreed the cars not prepped yet but the Ferrari red is stunning.

Well done Juiceloose it looks lovely glad you're enjoying it so far. The heated seat issue is irritating especially as we head into the time you're likely to need it. I presume you bought it outside of the BMW network?

Stu the Ferrari Red doesn't work for me so I'm out anyway

The picture of the boot!!

I'm not sure if its just the lighting, but those seats look filthy!!! My car has around 4x the mileage and mine are pristine.

[Stever]

Exactly. I've noticed the standard of adverts has dropped considerably but why? You can't blame CV19 for the lack of pride in showing off a car at its best, the red car could have been advertised two hours later after a good interior clean (OK maybe 6 or 8 judging by the state)

Appalling IMHO

I don't know if the previous owner used to eat their sandwiches in the car but this photo suggests they used to make them in there too

BMW M6 Competition Gran Coupe- Spotted feature on PH

[Juber]

So i keep reading on forums that BMW generally are quite conservative about their quoted power figures.

Some people have posted that their cars have produced over 560bhp thats quoted officially.

I put mine to the test and asked Surrey Rolling road to dyno it...... My M6 is completely standard....

[monthefish]

That's excellent.

They do feel outrageously quick.....

[Stever]

That's really impressive how old / what mileage is yours Juber?

I took two petrolhead mates to the NEC last weekend and they were both amazed at how mine dispatched the miles so effortlessly and in great comfort.

As a GT it is truly excellent

[olliete]

Wow! Great numbers Juber

Hi Guys,
Purchased my BMW M6 Gran Coupe yesterday, as it was brought from a private seller their is no warranty.
The car is on a 16 plate, can anybody recommend any warranty companies? I have been quoted £1800 per year from BMW insured warranties.

If its on less than 60,000 miles get the BMW warranty on a monthly and stick to that.

Once you go over 60,000 I think it jumps to 3-4k+ a year, having it on the monthlies means your price stays fixed until you decided to cancel.

Its pricey yes, but all the other warranties are worthless - they will weasel their way out paying for something 9/10 times.

Congratulations it's a nice place to sit.

The BMW Insured warranty should be around £1,200 first year if it's outside of the dealer network but should drop the second year. You can bring the cost down by selecting a higher XS £250 and de-selecting Emergency Assistance (Breakdown / Recovery etc). My renewal in May was c£850 for the year with £250 xs and including the emergency service which incidentally is very good and worth every penny in my experience

The 60K miles tip above is correct

yes some pics would be appreciated

Definitely recommend getting on the monthly payment BMW warranty with that age and mileage.

[bmw507]

Thanks for your feedback…
When I enter the details on the BMW warranty page this is the price it’s coming up with

[bmw507]

Yup I agree. I purchased approved used and have just paid my annual renewal. Its a no brainer as I had a few niggly software issues such as SOS call system failure. All sorted now.
