If you get a M6 make sure its under warranty the whole life of the car. if you can try and get a CPO one. I would never own that V10 with no warranty. Keep an eye on the oil level also they go threw oil. They take allot of oil also lol

That seems to be the golden rule of owning modern BMWs. Stay away from anything that doesn't have a warranty.

Don't get the m6. Get an e60 M5. There 10k cheaper and far more practical than the m6

Well, I assume your not buying new because there is a 60k difference between used and new but the only e63amg I would buy is the 2010. The older style is a dinosaur in comparison with technology and performance. Have you considered the C63amg?

I'd say it is the golden rule for all German cars, or really luxury cars in general.
