'06 M6 is the same price as '08 M3...what a great value that M6 makes! Timeless...

dimabimmer · 03-22-2010, 10:11 PM

I was just browsing BMW CPO inventory, and discovered what a great value CPO M6! How about the monster 7 series? How about under $40k for the 750i? I think I would choose CPO M6 V10 over CPO M3 V8. It is just mind blowing, in 4 years the price of an M6 is slashed in half!

rjd598 · 03-22-2010, 10:18 PM

i guess you must not know much about the market for cars in general. that is obviously bound to happen over time....i mean that m6 is over 4 years old. imo m models lose their values very quickly

g0at23 · 03-22-2010, 10:21 PM

Funny how I was just talking about this with some co-workers.

Yea that is why I will never buy new again. I got it out of my system. I saw the other day 08' M3 convertible, fully loaded, CPO listed for $54K... 3,5XX miles!! Thats ridiculous. 07' M6 fully loaded coupe, CPO, 28,XXX miles $49K

Right now I am driving a 09' 335i with 12K miles. O, I wish I can go back in time and buy a M car CPO.

Obviously if I was stinking rich I will probably buy new but a single guy doing alright for himself making 100k a year, going with slightly used.

DevJ · 03-22-2010, 10:24 PM

Yeah, buying used is definitely cheaper. I'll probably only buy a new Porsche down the line...other than that, I'll only buy slightly used cars.

dimabimmer · 03-22-2010, 10:55 PM

I wonder if anyone around here had an experience buying CPO?

whiteE92M3 · 03-23-2010, 12:26 PM

Funny, this is the exact same thing I did. I was going to get a used M6 for about $50k, excpet I figured it was a much better idea to get an 08 M3 with 8k miles on it instead (plus more factory warranty) for the same cost.

The new M3 has a much smoother trans than the M6- plus the M3 handles better b/c it is so much lighter. Although the M6 is a boss and touches supercar territory regarding all specs, but the M3 is a much better deal than a used M6. Now if you have the money to pony up and get a slighlty used M6, that is a different story!

I still like M3 V8 more than an M6... M3 is a high performance DD with decent mpg. But M6 is the most powerfull car BMW ever produced and a sexy beast...

JoosyJoos · 03-23-2010, 11:17 PM

The M6 doesn't do much for me. If you want the V10 get an M5...

Freakazoid · 03-23-2010, 11:27 PM

it's because of the insanely high maintenance/repair costs once it leaves the free maintenance realm.... check out edmunds for a good example breakdown

mtla4 · 03-24-2010, 01:15 AM

The M3 is much more desirable.....Who wants an M6...most status seekers will buy a used 645 or 650. I would never own an M6.....

WHAT?!!!!! M6 FTW

BobsM3Coupe · 03-24-2010, 03:12 AM

I don't like the current 6 series cars. The whole car just has a wacky look. And the interior is almost as bad as the outside.

Maseroche · 03-24-2010, 05:46 AM

I'd love to get an M6! Last of the naturally aspirated V10 engines.

CATCH_M3 · 03-24-2010, 08:52 AM

Just Make sure you dont buy this one: (Read the comments

)

Last but not least......

Scorpion · 03-24-2010, 09:16 AM

That must have been there for a veryyy long time for all that dust to collect on it lol.

TK-421 · 03-24-2010, 08:58 PM

I'd definitely get the M6. It looks fantastic and the S85 produces one of the most amazing sounds I've ever heard. Sounds like a bargain to me

(I know it's an M5, but the sound would be identical to the M6 obviously)

That is a great video! Thanks for posting it... The sound is like Formula One... Itching to pull the trigger on M6...

:c lap:

I know this video has been posted here before, but here you go again M6 206.3 mph...

It's weird how some cars do well and others don't. Like the 3 series and the M3 hold their values pretty well. However, the higher series don't do as well. I remember seeing this guy trading in his M5 for like $3x,000. He was very shocked but that's just the way things are. The market for M cars is very soft.
