2016 BMW F06/F12/F13 M6 sells for $37,500 on Cars & Bids — was it a deal?
The 2016 BMW M6 Coupe just fetched $37,500 at auction, and that’s strong money for this car, especially considering the fair market estimate was just $22,300.
This M6 Coupe is powered by a 4.4L Turbocharged V8 engine, pushing out a solid 560 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. With only 52,200 miles on the odometer, it strikes a balance between low mileage and the performance pedigree BMW is known for. The automatic 7-speed transmission adds convenience for daily driving while still delivering the punch enthusiasts crave. The car is equipped with the Executive and Driving Assistance Plus packages, adaptive M suspension, and full Merino leather upholstery, making it a well-rounded choice for those who want both performance and luxury. However, it does come with minor cosmetic flaws like chips on the front end and curb rash on the wheels, which buyers should keep in mind.
Despite the appealing specs, the selling price is a notable leap from its fair value estimate. It sold for $37,500, which is about 68% above the estimated value based on comparable sales. The auction saw 22 bids, indicating a competitive environment, but let's be real—this kind of price hike points to a potentially overzealous buyer market or simply a lack of comparable offers that could keep the pricing in check.
The community’s reaction was mixed but pointed out the price disparity. One sharp comment noted, “I saw it when the auction ended 🥲,” reflecting that some bidders were caught off guard by the final sale price. Another user mentioned, “Mine was newer with less miles and sold for $37,” which suggests that there could be some frustration among owners who feel their models should be valued similarly or even higher.
For anyone on the hunt for a 2016 BMW M6 Coupe or similar, keep an eye on the condition of the car’s exterior. Cosmetic issues like chips and curb rash can affect resale value significantly, and ensuring a clean slate could save you money down the road. Additionally, pay attention to the mileage and whether the modifications are backed by solid documentation. A well-maintained example with a clean history will always be a better investment.
