I cant believe the dealer put that nasty dealer sticker on the back of that car.....what a shame, I know it will come off but why even put that on a 100,000.00 + car

$110K?? The M6 is so not worth that kind of money. I can think of several cars in that price range that are faster, handle better, and are infinitely more attractive.

It's a value proposition for your own decision. When you are spending $120K out the door, you have plenty of options and surely aren't shopping on price.

Some will say the IS/ES/LS/RX/GX aren't "worth that kind of money", who am I to question someone's financial decisions.

Very interesting how so many pre-Bangle Bimmer owners hate the newest styles.
Somebody likes them...other than me...they're selling pretty darn well.

Yeap.

Buying these cars brand new is like buying little houses.

I guess their value is simply taking a dive nowadays, just like the real estate market.

Bangle sucks. You know there's something wrong with a design when the German aftermarket tuners can't even make the car look better no matter how hard they try.

Ferrari rules.

That trunk is absolutely hideous. How did that EVER leave the design room? It looks like a complete afterthought...there just HAS to be a better way to integrate it into the overall shape of the car. I'd rather have a more rounded rearend with a cheap azz spoiler on top than THAT.

And you can't "mod" the trunk...it's a permanent fixture.

It doesn't matter how the rest of the car looks, that trunk alone seals the deal for me: No way!...at any price.

i despise dealers that take it upon themselves to put on their dealer name on the boot of the car...that in itself requires discounting because i would be advertising for them or it goes off before i drive off the lot.

You already know he designed your E36 and had a hand in the E30.

Yeah, my customer has this one for sale now, 2003 modded with 30k miles (give or take) I think he's asking 60k

The CL55 was 100k in 2002 (as a 03 model), so 4 years later, I don think 60k is bad (about 10k per year)

AC Schnitzer has the "Tension" trunk which is smaller, its my favorite mod on that entire car!
