Finance deals may have changed this 1/4, but I had £0 finance deposit, 0% APR, and a cheque back for the dealer deposit and trade in.
14% is somewhat high. From Alphera I got 2% for a different vehicle. |

A car is less liquid, but the difference is cost would be worth it at this level if finance. |

I was looking at an SL63 & M6 and both would have been cheaper to buy new due to better residual & 0% finance. The numbers were pretty close, but still the deals on new are generous - 0% finance is killer on cars of this value. £125k was my SL63 spec, £0 deposit I was shooting for... however I'm young, run a business startup and rent my house so 0% was never going to happen haha. I look forward to getting cheap credit one day....
Anyway, back to the first post... I love the upgrades you did and I have really been wishing I had the B&O speakers in my M6 lately (I guess its the same deal to install as the m5?). £5k-ish would be justifiable I think... but who do I need to contact to do this? Can I go through my local dealer to retro-fit? I am in Poole UK. Thanks a lot for any help. |

I don't know the parts list for the 6, it will be similar, probably the speakers are the same but all the trims will be different and I think the centre speaker unit us different. To get the parts list use either realoem or subscribe to bmw tech info to get full EPC access, then you need to work through the relevant 6 (I don't know if coupe, cab and grand coupe are the same) and check all the parts and trims for a car with B&O. In terms of install, your dealer can do it, if they are up for it, but it's not an Appeoved bmw retrofit, so they can't code the NBT for B&O. You will need to do that yourself with esys. You will also need a wiring loom which has to be made to the car. PM for details of where to buy that from. It's not a BMW part as such but the vendor makes them up with all the bmw connectors. Bank on 2 full days at hourly rate as a minimum. If you don't already have 11 speakers with front door tweeters, forget it. Sell the car and buy a new one. To fit all the kit needed to go to B&O I'd guess 10 to 15k. My BMW dealer did do it but not sure that they want to do another one. I knew all the coding required so they were happy I wouldn't complain when it didn't work on handover.

Thanks a lot for the really great info. It sounds like a tonne of work, I will wait til work calms down a bit so I can spend some quality time learning about it properly. Might just leave it and get a new exhaust as my treat instead! |
