Servicing a 75,000 Mile 2015 BMW M6 (F06)

My first and only M6 video has exploded (for my standards) so I've decided to make more content for you guys as there seems to be a huge lack of real information on these cars on KZbin. Today, we discuss my first large service bill since purchasing my F06 M6 about 3 months ago. My goal with this video is to be as transparent as possible for that aspiring M5 or M6 owners can get an idea of what they're getting themselves into, as well as educating existing M5 and M6 owners on things they can do to help preserve their German beast. Hopefully I can get a dyno video made soon, but understandably I am not in a hurry to spend any money on this car for a little while, lol.

Man you don’t understand how many people are looking for this type video. Thank you 🙏🏻. looking for an M6 right now

[@EthanYorke]

I felt the same way leading up to buying mine. A few exhaust videos here and there, a couple car walkarounds, but that’s it. Plan on adding more videos as I get more service done, get the car dyno’d, etc 😃

[@Durk.29]

Never mind hahahha I watched your easiest M car to buy in 2023 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@dwaynebolan2583]

Thank you! We need more videos like this 👏🏿

I bought an f10 m5 in May with 40k miles, and excellent service history. I also got a clean bill of health from blackstone. At this point i have 44k on it, so im right there with you, but im stock for now. With all the horror stories online, im always worried about the motor grenading. Youre definitely putting out good content for anyone in thr market for one of these cars. Hopefully i dont see any more videos from you any time soon!

The evap problem replace the fuel cap. Also pcv coils and plug. I bought mine at around the same mileage. Also change to high pressure fuel pumps and cooler thermostat and you will he good to go. I daily and travel with mine 2013 and I did replace the injectors $2500. The one thing you didn't mention is that it stands out in a crowed and I always get stopped for questions

I had a 2017 mustang GT manual that I owned since brand new. I changed exhaust, headers, added sway bars on the suspension and coil overs. I was kinda busy that time and skipped 3 maintenance services. The only issue I had was the intake manifold was bad on the 6th gear after 45k. $170 and I changed it myself, pretty easy. Other than that was pretty much changing oil and no issues. Then I got a 2017 BMW 540i with 59k miles on it for my wife. The common coolant leak happened and bad fuel pump ($1800 parts and labor), plus control arms was bad ($1200 parts and labor), plus same tank evaporator issue ($400 parts and labor). There were still more stuff to fix in the car (none of this showed on the pre buy inspection btw) that would bring the total bill to 8 thousand dollars and something. I stopped in these changes I mentioned and left the other half for the next owner because I traded-in that money pit right away in a good old amercian v8 (17 corvette grand sport)! American v8s are way way waaay less expensive to maintain compared to these germans. German cars are like Miami chicks... very expensive to maintain!! I got rid of the mustang and corvette because we had a baby and I'm barely driving now working from home, also because insurance prices are killing the bank to left a car sitting in the garage most of the time. I now have a 2021 RAM 1500 Laramie low miles... and two jetskis. I think my era of sports cars has come to an end.

That's sad

[@erichowell5370]

I have a 2015 m6 grand coupe. 48k mikes current miles. Downpipes, Charge pipes, meth intakes, jb4 tune and sprint booster.. Only thing i had to replace was gas peddle. After 3 years of using sprint bootster. I have a leak in A.C.. Have to charge it ever summer.. No other problems so far. I dont how hp its pushing. Never got a dyno...

[@russellfaulkner5478]

Thanks for the input!! Wether I get the 540i Msport or an M6. Let’s start a small BMW club! Where in So Cal are you?

[@EthanYorke]

Right next to Willow Springs Raceway!

[@TinCanSailor]

Keep the content coming, just hope you don't have to do it due to repairs.

[@TheRealMcCoy88]

I'm pretty sure i remember seeing this for sale at a dealership a while ago on cargurus, if not then it was one spec'd exactly like it because it even had the same exact wheels

[@EthanYorke]

Probably was, car was for sale at the same dealer in CA for a year. Original asking price was $65,000, then $58,000, to $54,000, then I believe he had it up for $47,999 before he removed the price completely

[@russellfaulkner5478]

How do you like the tech in that car? Does it feel A little dated? I’m looking at getting a 2019 540i but your car is making me reconsider. I’m also here in So Cal 😎

[@EthanYorke]

The only feature it feels like it’s missing is CarPlay, which can be retrofitted to the OEM screen for about $600. The car doesn’t feel dated to me at all, this generation of iDrive is very responsive and nothing in the interior or infotainment feels “old”. Personally, if an M8 and an M6 were priced the same, I’d still choose the M6. The interior design is one of the best BMW has ever done imo

[@max7sr]

After owning a 2016 F06 M6 for 2 years and now having 42k miles on it stock, can confirm had to do oil changes and just did spark plugs for preventative maintenance but other than that has been an amazing daily drive all around. Catless downpipes coming next. What brand cats do you have on your car?

[@EthanYorke]

Unfortunately, I don’t know. The previous owner had installed them but I don’t have any receipts showing which ones they are, not sure if I’d be able to tell without pulling quite a few things off

[@ignantf00]

Have a gutted OEM DP for sale. No waste gate rattle noise but since its OEM, its heavier than aftermarket

[@mryouknooow]

how long should the car idle when cooling it down?

[@EthanYorke]

Not really sure an exact time on this, but I usually let it sit for at least 45 seconds to a minute. The fans will run after the car is off for another 2-3 minutes or more it seems, at least on mine

[@joshv7109]

love your content. my video suggestion would be to sell and it buy a toyota camry

[@cryptogvwd3340]

Amazing review but idc bout how much it cost to have. Having a 6 series is worth it

[@mdawg11794]

Where do you have your work done im also in California

[@EthanYorke]

Strictly German Auto will be handling everything from now on. I use a local shop, Bimmer Engineering, for emergencies since they only use OEM parts and won’t touch anything aftermarket

[@brunoflmg]

Dude your glasses are really dirty! hahaha Sorry I also use glasses and couldn't avoid on noticing it.

[@EthanYorke]

Yeah I’m really bad at keeping them clean 😂 I’m surprised you’re the first person to call me out actually haha

[@shanefowler9443]

I bought a 2015 F13 M6 competition last year with 16k miles on her 1 owner for 55k Its completely stock. I may do a catback exhaust and carbon fiber intakes only also considering stage 1 but want to keep the engine safe. Its my weekend car along with my shelby gt350. Kia forte for commuter

[@terryfonz4603]

Hey buddy clean your eyeglasses looks like you’re looking through a cloud!!
