Introduction, and new 06 650i with 23000 miles.

Well,

March 1st, I purchased an 06 BMW 650i with extremely low miles, only 23000 at time of purchase. Immediately after puchase, I purchased an extended warranty from my credit union, and the warranty is backed by the warranty group. I will post some images of the vehicle, but first I want to say a few words.

A week after the purchase, I had a few things done to the car. I replaced the wiper blades, added a cold air intake, replaced the front and rear pads, and replaced the rims and tires. All this cost me about $2625.00. I am thinking okay, this should be everything that I need to do to it for a couple months, I was wrong. May 3rd, I noticed a leak, so I immediately booked an appointment at my local BMW dealer to check out what might be the cause of the leak. Turns out the trans pan was leaking, my active stabilizer bar was leaking as well. I had them go through everything else and they also found the right front thrust rod going bad, which I confirmed because when I would brake there was noise. Okay, so turns out the whole repair job was going to cost 3839.92, so I immediately gave them my warranty information. The Warranty Group was very helpful, and even though at first they were being difficult in assisting, they came through and covered everything, minus my 100$ deductible. Can you imagine if I would of been blind and never purchased extended warranty for my vehicle? The moral of all this is extended warranty is needed, no matter what, because without it and when a big job comes, you will be in big big trouble! Anyway, my vehicle is good now and running better then ever.

Since then, I also had brake and engine coolant changed, as well as my sparks changed. All three of these services cost me 550$ with labor, and I am hoping this is the last that I will have to do for another 25-30k miles.

Here are some images of the vehicle:

Congratulations on the purchase! That is very low miles for the year.

What dealership did you take your car to and how do you like the afe intake?

Thank you, yes it is, one of the reasons it was purchased, although with everything it needed, it is probably why the previous owner got rid of it. The aFe intake is amazing, sounds great and you can feel the boost even on non-sport mode. I took it to Perillo BMW. I see your in chicago as well, would be nice to see more 6ers here, don't see too many.

I think we have a few local Chicago members here. I live in the west loop area. I would like to check out your intake in person one day if you are nearby or at any of the local car events if you are into it.

Another Chicago 6 owner, awesome!

Would love to show you it sometime. It is much better in person and the feel as well! It was a great investment. There are still many other things I want to do but I'm still getting used to the car. I don't miss my g37x at all with this!

Congrats on the new car and welcome. The 6 looks so good in white! Do you have any pictures with the M310's?

Only thing I would suggest doing is throwing some H&R springs to give it a drop and tighten up the handling.

Yeah I do I just took some pictures of it. Take a look the m310s look way better in person!





Let me know what you think!
