New BMW M6 Deals
Discussion
Someone posted a few weeks ago that they could get around 30% off the M6GC. I haven't pushed for a deal yet because my current lease has a few months to run, but if this can be achieved when I'm ready then it will probably be my next car. I don't know about the coupe, but would guess that the discounts will be similar. It seems the case that the price point for the 6 series generally is set too high.

£29k off there. I've wanted an M6 since about 2006. Always loved it. But now that I'm in a position to buy it financially, I just find them so overpriced even with these discounts given what £70k can buy. To each their own etc. Have you test-driven one?

I don't know about 2 door but RS6, 911, F type coupe, E63 AMG. I'd rather have an M6 than any of those of course, but I dunno, the premium between an M3/M4 and an M6 just seems too much to me. Maybe I need another test drive. Edited by E65Ross on Thursday 8th May 22:40

The only coupe you've mentioned is an F type which, again, doesn't have the performance of the M6 unless you get one that's more expensive and then the quality of the interior etc isn't a patch on the M6 (yes, I've spent time in both). Same for a 911 really, and that doesn't have proper back seats like the M6 does (neither does the F type).
So again, I'll ask

Well an M4 optioned to M6 standard will cost similar money to the discounted price of the M6, as they aren't doing deals on the M4 yet, at 65k the M6 is a good buy imho. Wills2 said:

This. My M6 Coupe completed build this morning, I was originally going to order an M4 but M6 is sooo much more car for not a lot more money (until the inevitable deals on the M4 come). I also reiterate the comment on interior quality. It is in another league compared to the 3/4, esp with the full individual interior.
It'll be a long two weeks!

Ross really does hit the nail in the head here. He, as well as I and others could be deemed biased because we have one but I'm one of the most fickle people when it comes to cars - typically, I can barely keep them for more than a few months.
However, 7 months in and I can't think what I'd swap my M6 for (and I'm trying!)...it's interior is right up there with Bentleys and Astons (and it's definitely better assembled than the latter), yet it drives and responds like a bigger M3. OK, it's body control can be hampered by weight but just to demonstrate how much better it is in this respect than say, an RS6, look at the auto express video where they pitched the two against each other - in the bends, the Audi was a heaving lump yet the M6 looks like a lithe sports car. It's performance is also enough to keep all but the fastest supercars in check. I thought I'd fancy an F-Type R but the reality is, it's interior, technology, build quality and even performance would be a step backwards. The only areas it has on the M6 are sound and potentially aesthetics.
If you want an out and out sports car, the M6 isn't for you. If you want an über refined GT with almost supercar performance and a little bit of sports car dynamics thrown in, I still can't think what I'd get instead at its list price, never mind the almost bargain post-discount prices!
My two favourite potential replacements aren't even released until next year, but are cars of a similar vein to the M6 and both from Mercedes - the new AMG GT or the new AMG S-Class coupe.

I am now at 9 months with the new LCI M5, I am looking at the M6 Coupe or M6 GC with CP, the discounts at the moment are so good it is an opportunity IMO.However, 7 months in and I can't think what I'd swap my M6 for (and I'm trying!)...it's interior is right up there with Bentleys and Astons (and it's definitely better assembled than the latter), yet it drives and responds like a bigger M3.

The S-class coupe will be much more luxurious and tech-laden inside but won't drive as well IMO. It'll also be much more expensive to get into the AMG section.....
but they'll also do a big V12
In Q3 last year I was looking to move from my X6 and thought the new M4 would be an ideal step as I have had a number of M3's previously and loved them all. Conscious that getting into a newly released car, I was not going to get any sort of deal in terms of discount and / finance offers, I so starting looking elsewhere.
It was then that I noticed the discounts on the M6.... There was 0% finance offers and big discounts so I ordered one. In January BMW dropped the 0% finance but then offered significant contributions.
After talking to the dealer again, the new deals were making it even cheaper to buy a new M6 with an APR of circa 4% along with the significant discount / dealer contribution than the 0% offered, so I changed the financial side of things and have ended up with a new M6 that costs me the same as the outgoing X6 per month.
Obviously running costs are more (petrol) but if you buy this sort of car and are concerned about MPG then you have bought the wrong car !!!
You won't get this sort of discount on an M4 in 2 years... They will sell so many of the M4 that it won't require such incentives and if I am honest, I think the M6 is 20K overpriced to begin with anyway... Flame suit now on
Fast forward 6 months from original order (oct 2013) and I've just had my San Marino M6 coupe back from its first service at the dealer and it's really starting to loosen up.
Absolutely love it, inside and out ... If you don't need 4 seats regularly (or have small kids for the back) and want to drive a truly awesome GT car then go for it. You get a huge amount of car, with a huge kerbside appeal and with Sport+ enabled, sounds as loud as I want it

This is not intended to flambé you 
and the market clearly agrees with this, but why exactly do people feel it's overpriced? Outside of the brand argument (where BMW simply doesn't command the same price points as others), I genuinely can see no reason on the basis of ability or quality as to why it's overpriced compared to other similarly priced competitors. One of my previous chariots was a Maserati Granturismo, a similarly priced car to an M6. Sure, you can still get generous discounts but I've never heard it described as overpriced....yet compared to the M6, it feels poorly developed, incompetent and the build quality and materials aren't even worthy of comparison. I reckon BMW's iDrive cost more to develop than the whole Maserati!
Anyway, I can probably answer my own question to some degree as BMW themselves clearly don't believe in the value of their product, which then has a knock-on effect in the market. Despite my belief that it's worth as much as it's competition (you can read that as it's worth £100k, or the competition is also overpriced!), I still wouldn't buy one at list price on the basis of BMW's chasing of volume (relative at this level) and the inevitable impact on residuals. But, if BMW were happy with lower volumes and offered no discounts, with a corresponding increase in residuals, then I'd have no issue with the M5/6's list prices.

I too miss my M3 for its fun factor.....but my other half is about to get a new M3 which should address that The S-class coupe will be much more luxurious and tech-laden inside but won't drive as well IMO. It'll also be much more expensive to get into the AMG section.....

I reckon the only useful tech the S-Class will have over the M6 is in the suspension, where it has that new Magic Body Control which actively rolls you into a corner (Virgin Trains Pendolino style lol). I'm quite intrigued by that but I reckon you're right in that overall, it won't drive as well....the gearbox will be particularly poor in comparison as they're sticking with the (ageing) MCT, rather than a DCT.
I'd try and go through broadspeed, they are offering them at 65k, they will put you in touch with the dealer, even if it isn't in the south they can deliver it to you and just use the local garage for the service?
You can always benchmark it against a local dealer as well.
IIRC they charge a small fee.
