I remember working at an independent used prestige car dealership a few years back and we had a Grand Coupe version of this, with an interior made from offcuts of David Dickinson. 3 guys came in and bought it outright in cash, and they took it immediately to get it remapped, hooned it around London until early hours of the morning, and blew the engine up that night, only to try and blame us for selling them a car with a dud engine

Its like any car, you need to look after them, eg change the oil more frequently than the 2 yr service intervals etc. Its built like a tank and is ridiculously quick above 80mph. Below that it is traction limited. I've got other cars, but I doubt I'll ever sell this one.

As a F06 640D Gran Coupe owner, I fully agree with what you're saying here Jay! Great review. For those worried about running costs, definitely take a look at the diesel if outside of ULEZ... Cheaper tax, cheaper insurance, up to 50mpg on a run and can be remapped for some great gains (of course your mileage may vary). And if you want the kids in the back and a couple of cases in the boot, settle on the Gran Coupe... You will not get better value for money!

It's a variation of the straight 6 N57 engine in case of diesel - notorious not only for burning one cop and many more F10/11 5series cars around those engines in police service - but also for timing chain issues, most of which seem to go away with good maintenance. The takeaway - do good maintenance. Don't listen to BMW's "30 000 km oil change" - do one every 6-10 000 kms - and should be good.

I upgraded from a 2007 650i to a 2014 M6 (both manual) here in the U.S. It is an amazingly fast and practical grand-tourer with a stunning interior and great looks. The first owner spec:ed it with carbon ceramic brakes (not a Competition) so it stops and goes better than anything I have ever owned (including Porsches). The acceleration from 60 mph to autobahn speeds is inadvisable but intoxicating. Inexpensive Dinan tune to close to 700 HP. With fastidious maintenance, the car (and engine) have been completely trouble-free and I think the reputation comes from poorly maintained cars. ❤

@stephenkeen1384
@stephenkeen1384 11 месяцев назад
@@CockatooDude I can't say I agree. Some cars you maintain well will still fail due to poor design, engineering or quality (I have owned a few). My point is there are lots of reports of BMW cars being problematic over time, and those appear to be related to poor maintenance rather than inherent issues (unless you consider failure due to lack of maintenance an inherent issue). My experience with many, many BMWs is that they have served me problem free for 150K+ miles with regular maintenance (often more often than BMW recommendation). I have not done a scientific test on what happens if I neglect them for obvious reasons.

So pleased to hear what you have to say about the M6. I used to have an M6 GC, Which does benefit from the rear doors but I wouldn't say is massively roomier in the back. The b&o stereo is well worth the cost; one of the best car stereos I've ever heard. I bought it as a replacement for a lotus Elise due to a new baby. And I'm happy to say I shared a lot the same views as you. Though I would add that the gearbox is absolutely useless in eco mode. It was extraordinarily fast without too much drama... the closest to time travel I've ever experienced. I would also warn anyone in a similar situation that the running cost were ruinous! I have no idea how the owner is managing to get 28 MPG. I would average 22 on a run and 16 having fun. Consumables were very costly. Putting some PS4 Sports on it transformed the car. My gearbox developed an issue and BMW wanted 15k to fix. That said, I found a place in Wales that replaced it for £4.5. Overall including depreciation fuel and consumables. I spent 15-20K in 2 years. So let's hope James is pulling in some good tips at the restaurant. Despite the cost, I had some great times with the car, but I couldn't say I ever really fell in love with it. This is probably more due to my personal preferences: little and light vs big and brutish. When I started working fully remote I chopped it in for a Caterham and a cheap run around. Far happy with that.

I'm currently on my third BMW and the 6-series lives rent-free in my heart as it was my first car ever ('89 E24 635CSi). I then went on to an E38 which is arguably the best large sedan ever made, onto which I put enough miles in two years to go around the world three times. Now I have a sensible and economical FF30 328i which, once it serves out its remaining years as a livery service car, I intend to modify into a hooligan. That all being said, I've been looking in to which would be my next daily-driven BMW and have been really loving the aesthetics of the F13. Great video!

I have been sweating over a 650Ci F13 , the car is 21.000€ here in Romania and I am a small town lawyer. I have inquired into running costs and it would be 1800 euro a year property tax, 1000 euro a year insurence (and I am the highest class least risk), about 1 to 1,5k euro per year in petrol ( I live in an ultracentral part of town and would put 6 to 10 k miles a year on the car), service costs and the odd repair would be a 500 to 1000 euro budget a year and other bits and bobs that would be a couple hundred euro. I find it a huge expense even though I own my house rent free, no outstanding finance on my name, no mortgage and earning about 40 to 50k euro each year. I wish I could be bolder and riskier like James … but at this time having 5000 euro on hold each year to run a dream car is not viable…. And the roads here are rubbish.

I find your points about 6 series ownerships to perfectly match what I found here in Canada. 6s are unbeatable value for money, yet onlookers (mostly old men) notice and compliment the car. And insurance is hilariously cheap in relation to other cars my friends own (I too am a younger guy). The sound system, styling, features, build quality, and driving dynamics are all great. Upkeep is where you pay it back it seems, so in a way if nothing breaks, you save money and drive a sweet car (you win), if it does break, you pay what everyone else pays for a nice car... which is still not a bad proposition

As per some other commenters, M6 Gran Coupe edges the traditional coupe for me.

I’ve got a 640i coupe..... absolutely love it. Still got my 630i with n52 engine. Absolutely solid cars and I won’t be selling either of them. I’ll be adding a 840i coupe when they hit under 30k..... not long to go now!

I have a late f82 cp, and thinking of changing to a g82? Do you think that's a good idea or should I consider this? I am reconsidering due to running costs and always go to bmw for service needs . Great review btw.

Always been a fan of the F-chassis 6 as well as the M6. Much nicer than the bangle-butt model and I was considering on getting a 640d when I was 21 but ended up with the XF. Considered it again (as well as other cars) last year but felt the tech would show its age by now, so got the F-Type instead.

Love my 640d! And coming from a 630i... I'd love maybe an M6 next. I think Jay's spot on when it comes to the 4 series killing it. I love the 4 series BTW, and think they are better in some ways. But I also think the market has just moved on from big 2 door coupes, long ago. Someone in the comments asked if these are considered an old mans car? Yea I think they kinda are (the Jag XKR even more so), thats no bad thing though. They just aren't fashionable, anymore. I often photograph young folks cars, and my big 6ix carries all my photography gear. The big 6ix doesn't get so much as get a 2nd glance from the younger crowd.

The M6 is a motorway/Highway monster. It opens up at 100mph+ and you then realize how fast and composed it is. Driving 40mph through narrow, winding single lane English village roads doesn't do it justice for proper review.

@JayEmm - you should review this against the Merc S63 coupe (the 4L C217 not the 5.5L) if you're going to compare grand tourers (though, those aren't in the £20k bracket in all fairness)

Compared to the Chris Bangle 6-series, this M6 is a pure beauty. But, I would say it's "just" very nice, good looking, blend of class et sport. And, indeed, this is a very good car to drive. 8/10 Thx for all the info I could not even remember (if I ever knew all the details, ahem)

I just checked the prices here in the states and this gen M6 are going for $25k-50k. Shoot I had the M2 on my list for future purchases which would be around $40k. This might be a better deal to get more car for the same or even less money

Here in Canada BMWs are priced as follows from cheapest to most expensive, 2. 3, 4, 5, 6 then 7 series. I have an M2 on order which is priced similar to an RS3, The RS3 is no longer sold in Canada so I'll be having my first Bimmer. Cheers.

Does the Competition version of this engine perform any better reliability-wise? Very tempted by one of these but I’ve heard horror stories about the S63 engine.

Wow, the sales difference and price difference is crazy. In the US it maters what model it is and trim. Though i will say E63 6 series have dropped like crazy in price. So have the used F12 w around 80k+ miles on them. I will say the price killing point on the bmw is related to what people repair costs are. Inown both and absolutely love them both!

I have an E63 650i and I have recently realised that when it comes to replacing it, I’m in a quandary because I like the lack of flash while still being rapid and relatively inexpensive to run, and the F-Gen 6-Series is difficult to ignore, because it is more of the same; good looking, has understated class but is still rapid.

@@henzo7087 I know for the E60-Gen 6-Series the 650i is the "80% the performance with 80% less cost" of an M6, because you don't have M-Division running costs, I imagine the F-Gen 6's are much the same.
