    Trying to decide if it's worth the effort going to look at them.

    The mileage on the grey one would put me off. And the front discs are fitted the wrong way around, which is never a good sign of a competent mechanic!
    Black one body looks to have scratches and marks around the body, the leather looks wrecked. 1 owner though and mileage isnt bad, doesnt mention any service history however, and the dealer is clearly clueless if he says it has a fibre glass roof ! Also it was obviously traded in to a garage /dealer so if be cautious of impending maintanence, if you were trading in a car would you spend a few k on it beforr hand!? At that mileage if its still on its original clutch it will most likely need changing! Back tyres look shot, beshoffs number plate suround is promising though!
    Buy my m5 instead !

    Thanks - this helps a lot - you've definitely got an eye for detail I would never have noticed the front discs or the beshhofs number plate surround for that matter. I'll admit to checking out your add - lovely car! I'm struggling because I kinda really want a coupe/gt - I know they're basically the same car but (as sad as it sounds) the M6 has a psychological draw just because it's 2 door. Jesus, I need to get out more!

    I had one of these a few years back and they are awesome. I would recommend running a mondial warranty tho which can be expensive, much more so when you go over 60k miles. But my god can these things empty your wallet if things start going wrong out of warranty. If you can get a car with less than 60k miles and take a monthly rolling warranty the premium wont go up once you go over 60k miles, where as its a little cheaper to pay annually but you will get stung once it goes over 60k. Gearbox is outdated but what an engine. Considerably faster than the v8 m3 in a straight line and around 100kg lighter than the e60 m5 to boot...
