Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Cross-reference to the curated BMW 6 Series F06/F12/F13 entry — M6 trim with S63 V8 biturbo. Rod bearing scheduled-maintenance. F12 retractable hardtop convertible adds hydraulic complexity. All 6-Series F06 buying checks apply + S63 rod bearing.

What's good

  • F06 Gran Coupe M6 with documented rod bearing service — most practical M6 body + scheduled-maintenance receipt.
  • F13 Coupe M6 with low mileage + documented service — cult collector.

What to watch

  • An S63 V8 with no rod-bearing service done — it's scheduled work, not optional — scheduled-maintenance item.
  • The F12's folding hardtop playing up — lots of hydraulics to go wrong — hydraulic complexity.
