[@MrNiceGuy94]

Don't get me wrong, but here in the UK it seems to me that people don't really know what a high spec BMW is. This is just a regular BMW 650i spec wise. The real "specs" or extras are the ones below the headlight knob. This one only had the HeadUp Display. I used to own a 640d which had the HeadUp Display,Lane Keeping Assistant, Lane Departure Warning. It was lacking the Adaptive Cruise Control and the Night Vision Camera in terms of the real specs. These are just my 2cents. Peace.

Beautiful car but yes, it's not a high spec one. We looked for many many months over most of the U.S. and eventually found and bought a truly high spec one with some of the following packages M-Sport, Executive, Driving Assist, Cold Weather, Park Assist, Night Vision, Sun Shades, B/O stereo (etc). It wouldn't have mattered though because these are beautiful cars irrespective of whether it has all the bells and whistles.

[@international-arms-dealer]

That's awesome dude! I just picked up a 2016 550i M Performance with 48k miles... It's spec'd to the max, and I just put those same 20" 373s on it! Extended leather package, top HK audio, soft close, everything! Paid a good bit more than $20kUSD for it, but it's nice as hell bro. Just installed Bimmertech wireless CarPlay, new plugs and coils, new OE rotors and pads, and a JB4... Shit is a dream dude!

[@BmwAlfa123]

It's actually crazy how much more the M6 have depreciated compared to this! Similar year M6 with a 30k higher MSRP are actually almost on par with the 650i X-Drivers. I think many people have started to prefer the instant acceleration that the X-drive brings as opposed to the advantage at 100mph+ speeds where the M6 would be faster. Since these are not really "track cars", it takes the M novelty out of the equation. People are picking the X-Drives and Alpinas rightuflly over the M6. Also, this pre-LCI model with those old headlights looks HIDEOUS!

[@realkaylajoy]
