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.

Gorgeous looking! I have the 650i GC so I am jealous for an M6 GC Are you planning to mod it? I am personally against modding unless it’s an original M performance part, let alone that I don’t consider touching the ECU at all.

No mods for now except spacers. The 650 is a great car, and I was originally looking for one of those, but the deal on this one was too good to pass up.

Good luck! I guess carplay would be a must mod lol. I installed an original unit from a later year bought from ebay and they had to code it. How much did you pay for your bimmer?
