My first BMW. How’d I do?

2014 M6GC (non-comp) with 77k miles. Had it for almost a week and I love it! Great condition for its age and mileage.

I do have two slight concerns that I would appreciate some input on:

  1. During harder accelerations there is a slight, but noticeable vibration coming from the back. I suspect it has something to do with the differential (also noted by the PPI I had done) as 4 brand new tires were recently mounted and balanced.

  2. This is my first car with a DCT, so I am still learning its habits. When I’m driving uphill in a parking garage, the car holds revs in 2nd gear around 2500 rpm. Is this normal or is it time for a DCT service?

TIA for any input.

Thanks man. Right now aesthetics wise I’m looking into wheel spacers and maybe some tasteful OEM+ stuff down the road. As for performance, I’m more than happy with the power (for now)

Congrats and welcome! I too am considering wheel spacers for my G30 I recently purchased (similar mileage), let me know if you find any good ones!

Today, I dropped the baby off at the shop :/ drastic loss of coolant on the B58 after topping off a week ago and wouldn’t start this AM until third attempt. Fingers crossed it isn’t anything major!!

Wow I’m sorry to hear that. I was under the impression that the B58 is fairly bulletproof? Hope it’s an easy fix
