How Broken is an 80,000 Mile BMW M6?

In this video, I go into detail about everything wrong with my 2015 BMW M6 Competition that is just about to cross 80,000 miles. In my ownership since 70,000 miles, I have performed the following services:
Transmission Pan Replacement (2X)
Oil Change (3X)
Rear Tires
Rear Rotors and Pads
Fuel Evap Sensor Replacement
In total, I have spent about $7,000 on the car not including gas, with about $4,200 in remaining issues with the clutch, headliner, roof, and speakers. From my perspective, considering the MSRP of the car was $137,000 and I was able to get it for $45,000, I still feel the M6 is a serious performance bargain even with me overpaying for my specific example. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

My 650i Gran Coupe has 111k miles on the odometer and I have zero issues with the car. The interior is immaculate and it is a joy to drive. If you buy any V8 twin turbo, I recommend never to rev the engine straight off a cold start and always allow the engine oil to get up to operating temps before you hit 3k+ rpm. Change the oil every 5k miles and the transmission fluid every 50k miles. ZF the company that made the transmission states their service intervals are 50k miles, yet BMW says "lifetime fluid". I figure they want to sell new cars rather than see their old cars on the road doing just fine. In my opinion, the 6-series in general is the best performing, best looking and best value you can get.

I’ve heard the N63 motor isn’t that reliable. The s63 seems to be a bit more robust

[@cohenday1377]

I couldn't agree more

[@JeffVinson11]

@nickmartinsen8549 like most engines, the n63 likes to be well maintained. Keep in mind the n63tu and newer have far fewer issues than the n63's from 2012 and before.

@@nickmartinsen8549as long as you get a n63tu (2015 & up) you’ll be good

I’m excited for your content man, just this week I started looking for an m6. Thanks for the very specific information.

U literally make the best vids about the Great M6 🔥🔥🔥

Love the humerus presentation!! Keep em coming!

That interior colour combo is so nice with the B&O speakers!

[@Arturosrh99]

What a great video! I’ve been considering one and I think you may have convinced me to just pull the trigger. Thanks man! 🙏🏼

[@GR8N3SS]

Awesome content.

[@tahaautos1295]

thank you sir!

keep makin content bro, we need a voice fr, tryna get mine by this summer hopefully will make sum content for sure

[@RyuSukuna]

Best maintenance video I've ever seen. Didn't just talk about oil, brakes and basics. Talked about personal issues he came across. Seems everything is 500-2k to fix anything. A lot of these luxury cars are going for cheap

[@tristanfrie9915]

Ive got a 14' M6 GC Competiton with 60k miles, I have since put 2,500 miles on it and I agree with everything you say just based off my current experience with mine. They're not unreliable if theyre owned by a half decently smart person. The people who don't take care of them are the ones that get mad when they aren't reliable. Youre only gonna see rod bearing issues if the car was 1. Beat on while it was cold very often 2. Would get 9000 mile oil changes. Other than that, if clutches ever start slipping you can get a bit more life out of them with a XHP Trans tune, itll increase line pressure bit the easiest fix will just be a new set of clutches so you wont have to worry for abother 50-60k very harsh miles or 80k of spirited driving on stock tune. Greta video man!!!! I hope to start creating content here soon!!!

First and foremost, you are correct that there are not a lot of videos with the Fxx M6. I have been looking for a while. Thank you for giving some love. Second, where did you get a quote for the roof refinishing? Oh and BTW, I had to do my inside headliner and it was a super easy DIY job. Especially since I had to get my windshield replaced at the same time. Thanks man.

[@EthanYorke]

I got a quote from a local shop near me called Ghost Customs that does “starry night” headliner conversions frequently. They told me $250 if the material didn’t need to be repaired, $350 if the material needed to be repaired

[@samaccurso]

Before watching this video, never thought I'd buy a bmw, now I know I'll never buy a bmw.

[@alkoma4586]

You're also a 🤡

[@sueddo2634]

You can look into BMW value service and get the front brakes and rotors replaced for around $1400. I did that at my local dealership and they honored the value service pricing. As far as reliability goes, i'm not sure bud. You're only 10k into your ownership and you're right at the point where severe issues are appearing or going to appear, i've seen some of your forum posts and you've basically been scared sh**less about your current issues. Your engine transmission having issues can almost be lumped into regular maintenance at that mileage and is far from actual issues you're going to experience such as: rear diff axles splitting, coolant line leaks, carbon buildup, turbo replacement, etc. These are going to eat you alive and are extremely common issues to have and not some made up fantasy, especially if you're beating on the car on top of a stage 2 tune. SavageGeese does blow the S63 motor failure slightly out of proportion but many of his points and negativity about the engine are grounded in objective statements and not just saying what he wants to say, that's why people follow his channel for more factual based information on the car.

[@stephenhester7354]

Let us know when you’ve had it several years and have put real miles on it. Can’t get much useful data from 10k miles. Good video though.

[@alkoma4586]

But at least u know what to expect upto 80k with more hp than stock... Lot of these out there with half miles

[@pumper34x]

Tell dad to buy you a Honda. Problem solved. 😢
