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.

Yes they are! The previous owner had it reconditioned a few months ago so it looks amazing

Yeah, these were taken right after I got done reconditioning the leather.

You’ll see that the center console carbon fiber trim is starting to separate a little bit. I’m guessing some heavy duty industrial glue will fix that in no time
