The 6 series, especially the 4-door version, is the pinnacle if BMW's car design in my opinion. Timeless silhouette, beautiful interior (love the center console). The new 8 series is pretty as well, but the 6 series is still a more elegant GT.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. 6 is where it’s at. I have a 04 645ci. And I’m getting a M6 this spring. The lines are just so elegant. The other series, or Benz Porshe caddy can’t fuck w/ the 6 series

Press LIGHTLY - 3 flashes and auto off Press with HEAVY pressure - Remains on until you turn the steering wheel and auto off when steering reurns to straight-ahead position MUCH better to use than the old system where you need to manually turn them off... (I have BMWs with BOTH of these systems)

You could say that about any premium and/or luxury car company besides Lexus. For many BMW fans, their cars may also be “worth every penny” in terms of maintenance costs because they have good performance and driving dynamics. That’s why multiple M3 and M5 generations have huge followings.
the M6 GranCoupe would score higher than this tbh but 6 is TOO low, this is in many's opinion the best looking car BMW has released in recent years. Way better proportioned than the M8 if spec'd correctly, especially in Gran Coupe form

@@vonsauto I've had no problems with the S63-TU engine or the DCT transmission. The N63 engine (which you have in your 750) were the ones that had issues that made people scared of upgraded N63TU and S63TU engines. With the TU engines they really only have significant reliability issues when they are tuned to higher Tq and HP and are not modified to handle the extra stress on the internals or address the needed extra cooling and airflow. I highly recommend reviewing any of the BMW forums out there to learn more about the engine and anything else you may need to consider.
It looks like he still had the stereo off when he tried to play the note, which is maybe why it didn't let him. You can see the mute icon on the screen still

@@pope9349 Nope any BMW V8 after 2001 is shit design that won't last 80,000 miles. If you get a BMW and want it to last a reasonable amount of time, get an I6 BMW.
I personally love how my turn signals work on my M6. It's not hard to figure out at all. If you turn the left signal on you just lightly tap it down and it turns off. To me it adds an element of ingenuity and sophistication.
Doug acts like it’s rocket science, “who could ever figure out how to turn off these signals?! This is the reason for its depreciation!” Must be hard to be that stupid.
I have an E90 335i and I absolutely love the turn signal stalk! Every time I get into a car with a regular stalk, it feels so odd to me. To me, it is great being able to half-press the stalk, enabling the "triple turn signal" for lane changes. Also, the signal can be easily disabled by performing a half-press (I'm not really sure if it matters which way it is pushed).
Exactly! This way, the indicator stalk is always exactly where you expect it to be. Cancelling the turn signal can be done by half-pressing the stalk in either direction.
Got an e63 6 series myself. love the turn signal stick lol. Bro drives a CLS and he prefers the BMW turn signal by a mile.. I don’t get people’s complaints lol
The turn signal is great, light click for a 3 signal momentary lane change signal, click slightly harder for continuous signaling, press in the same direction to cancel - where is the difficulty, not the hardest thing to master - The change to the more normal configuration was a regulatory requirement.
He had a kove or something speaker once, some coffee when reviewing porsche 959 and i'm pretty sure there was another one. But Doug once said that he never recommends something that he won't use himself.
after living with my 640d for the last 2 years, I absolutely love the turn signals, once i got used to them. they beat regular mechanical turn signal stalks in my opinion.. you just need to only move it half a click to deactivate it. most people don't get it
The speed warning thing going up to 200mph is actually really useful in germany. Here Winter or all season tires are required by law and many people get cheaper winter tires because you use them less time of the year. Since there are unlimited sections of the autobahn you can easily go over the vehicle speed rating of your tires. They probably set that up at the dealer when you change your tires. Most dealers in germany put a sticker next to the starter button warning you not to go over 180 kph for example.
Generally during advertisements : skip skip skip Doug : Brings Noodle during the advt Me : Sees full advertisement three times ignoring the rest of the video 🤷🏻♂️
1. parking brake switch: The middle console is a bit different with an automatic an the parking brake switch seems better integratet. 2. left door blank area: the 6 series gran coupe has rear windows, so you need the space for the window switches. Same with the 6 series convertible. 3. middle speaker: but it brings up the tweeter with a more important positioning over the middle frequency speaker behind it. 4. speed limiter: in Germany with those cars we drive between 120 and 150 mph on the Autobahn on a daily basis. 130mph is the limit for most winter tires, where this system is very helpful. But yes, 200mph seems a bit much :D
The question is not “Can I buy one?” more than is so “Can I own one?” So I’d say it isn’t seeing how a majority of the people who watch these videos wouldn’t be able to own a car like this.
It’s a bargain as long as you got “M money” to take care of that power plant... when they work, they are phenomenal. But we all know what bmw does best.

I looked at a GranSport 3 or 4 years ago in a showroom. It was so big it reminded me of cars from the 60s and 70s. But it was absolutely beautiful. When that speaker goes up there is a tweeter pointing back towards the cabin. There may not even be a speaker in the top. I'd take one of these coupes even with an automatic gear box.
@@bindingcurve Maybe I am a bit slow, but I dont get this? The light on the shifter is always on when the rest of the interior lights are on, and there certainly werent any traction control back in the days when they introduced it. So I must be misunderstanding the point/joke you are making?
To anyone considering buying this car, look up the reliability of the s63 engine. I have heard people buying a low-mileage m5/m6 and end up with an engine-replacement bill of 40k, almost as much as the car is worth. The people who bought this car first hand usually didn't take care of the engine as they aren't car enthusiasts and had a warranty.
As Doug said "its manual", I scrolled to the pic of the manual shift knob on the 3 series coupe im looking at on offer up, the car review god has spoken !
Doug - The E63 M6 is a great car - when it's running. The problem with them is most people who own them cannot afford to take it into BMW for regular service. The first time the cogwheel of death (SMG Error) comes on and the car has to be towed to BMW where the owner is charged around $5000.00 to band-aid the problem - it's usually parked or sold for nothing. I've owned 2 M6's. Both were 6 speed manual (very, very rare) and both were in horrid shape. I fixed and sold both for a nice profit.

His early videos didn't started with this
Let's just hope that doesn't become a trend of his
Definitely not the first
A few things off on this:
Both the M1 and M2 are configurable and the only reason it will make you confirm is when your M button is configured to turn DSC down/off
The HUD is configurable to your M1/M2 quick selects. you can have full Sport+ on all your configs and still have it set to the basic HUD if you want. You can also get that sport HUD in any driving mode, you just tap the HUD button
That singular cup holder is there because they didn't option the "smokers package" so instead of an ashtray and lighter you get a cup holder, otherwise the holders are in the cubby in front of the shifter (in the GC there are two there).
The turn signals are two stage and to cancel you tap the stalk either direction, you don't throw it all the way over. Easier said than done though, it is a bad design
The voice note didn't play because you had the stereo off/muted

Congrats man, the M6 Gran Coupe is my absolute dream car! But for 37K? Here in Austria you need at least 45K for a good one with around 100K Kilometres!
So your engine still works. Not for long.
@@casmon71 nope. 2 years of ownership, driven across the country, done multiple track days, and zero issues.
How’s the reliability I’m coming from a 2012 750i 170k miles
@@vonsauto I've had no problems with the S63-TU engine or the DCT transmission. The N63 engine (which you have in your 750) were the ones that had issues that made people scared of upgraded N63TU and S63TU engines. With the TU engines they really only have significant reliability issues when they are tuned to higher Tq and HP and are not modified to handle the extra stress on the internals or address the needed extra cooling and airflow. I highly recommend reviewing any of the BMW forums out there to learn more about the engine and anything else you may need to consider.
It looks like he still had the stereo off when he tried to play the note, which is maybe why it didn't let him. You can see the mute icon on the screen still
Exactly. Not sure how he couldn’t figure that out 🤷🏻♂️
He thought Memory 2 was sport mode, and not just what someone set up once.
He can’t figure out the turn signals let alone the iDrive…
1 year from now, "THIIIIISSSSS, is RAAID shadow legends"
Buy used for $40k, spend $40k I'm maintenance during the first couple years, sell for $15k. Hell to the NO.
Sadly, I learned the hard way.
This car won’t be 15k for another 9 years lol
those are surprisingly reliable,way more reliable than the junk v10(awesome motor but not reliable).
Learn how to turn a wrench and ratchet, costs are affordable when you handle all maintenance, it's really not that hard if you try, I own many Exotic cars and do all of my own work. -Cheers
@@pope9349 Nope any BMW V8 after 2001 is shit design that won't last 80,000 miles. If you get a BMW and want it to last a reasonable amount of time, get an I6 BMW.
Unpopular opinion: This is the best looking M car of all time.
I surely think so too👍
The gran coupe is slightly better, but I think your opinion is widely agreed upon.
I think the gran coupe version of this car was better looking.
@@matte8441 My neighbor has a 2014 M6 gran coupe with a manual in Orient Blue Metallic. It's Beautiful.
"gears light up so that you know which gear to shift into"
If you don't know your gears then you shouldn't be driving a manual
Seriously
Well consider is coming from the guy that is struggling with the turn signals lol.
I personally love how my turn signals work on my M6. It's not hard to figure out at all. If you turn the left signal on you just lightly tap it down and it turns off. To me it adds an element of ingenuity and sophistication.
Wait… you drive a BMW and use your blinkers?? Rare specimen my guy
Nothing sophisticated about that. Opel/Vauxhall also used that in their cars of that era and its just pointless change.
Doug acts like it’s rocket science, “who could ever figure out how to turn off these signals?! This is the reason for its depreciation!” Must be hard to be that stupid.
Tom, really? You must be joking.
I hated it when I first got my bmw. But after driving it for a while, I actually love it and am sad bmw stopped making it like that.
I have an E90 335i and I absolutely love the turn signal stalk! Every time I get into a car with a regular stalk, it feels so odd to me. To me, it is great being able to half-press the stalk, enabling the "triple turn signal" for lane changes. Also, the signal can be easily disabled by performing a half-press (I'm not really sure if it matters which way it is pushed).
No harsh snap back to centre position when it auto cancels as well
Exactly! This way, the indicator stalk is always exactly where you expect it to be. Cancelling the turn signal can be done by half-pressing the stalk in either direction.
E90 gang.
❤️ my n54
Same thing that made me fall in love eith my W211 E320. Tap the stalk to signal 3 times. Can't drive cars without this feature anymore.
Got an e63 6 series myself. love the turn signal stick lol. Bro drives a CLS and he prefers the BMW turn signal by a mile.. I don’t get people’s complaints lol
"Especially fun with a manual transmission.. which you won't get."
@@yungboicontigo9278 100% certain that he was referring to there only being 70 of them made with a stick
@@yungboicontigo9278.. So?
Yikes a stan. Living through doug
@@yungboicontigo9278 oh god not the context
The turn signal is great, light click for a 3 signal momentary lane change signal, click slightly harder for continuous signaling, press in the same direction to cancel - where is the difficulty, not the hardest thing to master - The change to the more normal configuration was a regulatory requirement.
I recently picked up an m6 gran coupe, been a dream of mine for years and finally got one at 21
congrats man, my dad just got the coupe last week and it's an amazing car
how reliable has it been did it break yet. Ans do you still have it.
The fixed the turn signals and messed up their signature grills.
Now it's the Beaver Tooth Grill. 🙄
The ultimate depreciation machine!
You need that speed warning when you have winter tyres on our Autobahn here in Germany.
I don’t remember Doug ever having a sponser. Congrats dad.
He had a kove or something speaker once, some coffee when reviewing porsche 959 and i'm pretty sure there was another one. But Doug once said that he never recommends something that he won't use himself.
after living with my 640d for the last 2 years, I absolutely love the turn signals, once i got used to them. they beat regular mechanical turn signal stalks in my opinion.. you just need to only move it half a click to deactivate it. most people don't get it
reading a manual is a bit too difficult to an average joe unfortunately
Why have to re-learn how to use them? BMW have correctly ditched this stupid design.
Doug: This was the most beautiful 6 series
E24 635CSi: Am I a joke to you?
Exactly.
Gross
The speed warning thing going up to 200mph is actually really useful in germany. Here Winter or all season tires are required by law and many people get cheaper winter tires because you use them less time of the year. Since there are unlimited sections of the autobahn you can easily go over the vehicle speed rating of your tires. They probably set that up at the dealer when you change your tires. Most dealers in germany put a sticker next to the starter button warning you not to go over 180 kph for example.
You ain't gonna cheap out on tires if you drive an M6
@@MrKruska11 you will if you drive a 9 year old m6 which is under a 1/3 of the cars original msrp
There's no such thing as a cheap tire for an M6. You can't even find a tire this size that's cheap.
Did no one else noticed at 8:04 the swings moving by themselves??? We need a young priest asap
Back in the day manufacturers hadn’t that obnoxious obsessive touchscreen and swipe fetish nonsense! 😒 Way better and reliable in the long run..

Generally during advertisements : skip skip skip

The manual gear lever almost looks out of place in that interior. Still glad to see it tho ofc
Manuals are rare and often expensive for Americans, whereas in my Country Automatics are costlier than manual counterparts and are generally rare.
Desi boy
We don't shift gears like some peasant.
They are not expensive, just only on eco boxes and some trucks and sports cars. But not much of a market for them.
@@silversonic99 wow you have a great mentality
Same
Doug: This turning stalk is why this car has depreciated so much.
BMW owners: Turning stalks?
1. parking brake switch: The middle console is a bit different with an automatic an the parking brake switch seems better integratet.
2. left door blank area: the 6 series gran coupe has rear windows, so you need the space for the window switches. Same with the 6 series convertible.
3. middle speaker: but it brings up the tweeter with a more important positioning over the middle frequency speaker behind it.
4. speed limiter: in Germany with those cars we drive between 120 and 150 mph on the Autobahn on a daily basis. 130mph is the limit for most winter tires, where this system is very helpful. But yes, 200mph seems a bit much :D
The question is not “Can I buy one?” more than is so “Can I own one?” So I’d say it isn’t seeing how a majority of the people who watch these videos wouldn’t be able to own a car like this.
That's what I thought. Especially here in the Netherlands where cars are fucking expensive..
@@Anoalekontrieger Hello from Singapore. We share similarities.
Most people SHOULD'NT own a car like this. Cheap modern BMW = massive money pit.

It’s a bargain as long as you got “M money” to take care of that power plant... when they work, they are phenomenal. But we all know what bmw does best.
Which is why I'd never get a used BMW 🤣🤣🤣
imagine going into the backyard of your mobile home and hearing doug saying "THISSSS is the 2014 BMW M6".

Ive been begging doug to review this car day in day out thanks doug
The speaker as it rises up is actually revealing the tweeter.
Doug: Owners manual has questionable grammar
Also Doug: BMW "brought back it" as the 8 series
I really like the explanations for each category in the DougScore!
can't wait to get an m8 in 5 years for $50k
Man it's an endless money pit. Get a Lexus!
@@dragospahontu nah 8 series looks better
@@yes8032 It will look right at home on a flatbed.
@@dragospahontu Why everyone think bmw a money pit? If you aren’t into maintaining a car then ig your right. I personally maintain my 335 and has actually been the most reliable car I’ve ever had. I’ve owned it for a while. Has 182000 on it. Always driven hard.
@@billyowusu48 man what year model is it?
Lexus is reliable not like European cars.
Doggo: "But when are we going for a drive? I'm in the car, but why aren't you?"
I’ll be honest, I was hoping Doug would review the older Bangle Era M6 with the 5.0L V10, that would’ve been interesting.
When you transition to driving it would be cool to hear a cold start and then a bit of engine noise 👍
Agreed
To turn off the turn signal just light tap it down or up.......can’t belive Doug still havent figured it out after all these BMW reviews 😂
Exactly... In my opinion this is much better than having the lever stay up or down.
I really think he’s lazy lol. I own a car with the same stalk and it’s actually so easy to use.
I looked at a GranSport 3 or 4 years ago in a showroom. It was so big it reminded me of cars from the 60s and 70s. But it was absolutely beautiful.
When that speaker goes up there is a tweeter pointing back towards the cabin. There may not even be a speaker in the top.
I'd take one of these coupes even with an automatic gear box.
First time hearing another sponser, and still waiting for speedtail video
Still waiting on the Alfa Romeo RZ and EB110.
of course a person named "speedtail" is waiting for the speedtail review
Also waiting for the Multipla, Clio V6, XL1, and C6 reviews.
Manuel tranmission car drivers dont need light up gear head to be able understand which gear they are at. They know it naturally 🔥
Its just a cool look. Certainly when they introduced it back in the 1980s, it was pretty unique.
@@bindingcurve Maybe I am a bit slow, but I dont get this? The light on the shifter is always on when the rest of the interior lights are on, and there certainly werent any traction control back in the days when they introduced it. So I must be misunderstanding the point/joke you are making?
@@GoldenCroc i was thinking the heads up display :)
@@bindingcurve Oh, ok. Then I get it. I just thought since the original poster talked about the shift knob, that you also did.
@@GoldenCroc I have owned BMW manual cars before, those plastic top shift knobs always end up looking bad
To anyone considering buying this car, look up the reliability of the s63 engine. I have heard people buying a low-mileage m5/m6 and end up with an engine-replacement bill of 40k, almost as much as the car is worth. The people who bought this car first hand usually didn't take care of the engine as they aren't car enthusiasts and had a warranty.
Those silver rims instead of the hideous black/dark rims of today's cars are just gorgeous.
👍 I hate black rims
The “smaller” glove box inside the glove box is for the optional cd changer, which the car does not have.
The soft closing doors will be the first thing to break, yes I own BMW's.
As Doug said "its manual", I scrolled to the pic of the manual shift knob on the 3 series coupe im looking at on offer up, the car review god has spoken !
How is no one addressing that this m6 is a manual? That's incredible!! I wish they made more.
1 of 68 in a coupe
Doug - The E63 M6 is a great car - when it's running. The problem with them is most people who own them cannot afford to take it into BMW for regular service. The first time the cogwheel of death (SMG Error) comes on and the car has to be towed to BMW where the owner is charged around $5000.00 to band-aid the problem - it's usually parked or sold for nothing. I've owned 2 M6's. Both were 6 speed manual (very, very rare) and both were in horrid shape. I fixed and sold both for a nice profit.
8:01 - ok, but no one is going to talk about the invisible kid in that swing then?
