Door seals keep being a problem across alot of model years, and the 6-series in particular is demanding a high premium without really giving much back. You have the same engine as the 550i or 750i and they are basically tacking on a bunch of money because its a coupe.

Personally I think that as a coupe it's too large to be very nimble, although the engine is great, as far as the suspension definitely test drive it, but it will be no where close to a Porsche, even with the M6, which again I feel is over priced.

IMO you are better off getting an M5 or a porsche. The M5 is the same price as a CarreraS and I think both of those cars give you your money's worth.

The 6-series is too overpriced just because its a coupe and its silly because they dont gouge 3-series (sedan vs coupe) owners that much, but they figure if you got the cash to play you'll spend more for it as far as the 6 is concerned.
yes they are slipping, I had a brand new 745i for 6 month and i had nothing but problems... oil leaks, transmission broke electric issues. Nice comfy ride but I would never buy BMW again... I went back to Mercedes.
