Sam1832's E64 650i Luxo-Barge

[mr wilks]

The early 6er i had was without doubt my best car for drive quality , extras ,presence,engine/exhaust noise & sheer grunt from the lights , they really are epic on all fronts
Hopefully be back in one someday , much preferred to the new shape IMO , diluted the muscle car look too much
Enjoy the ride & keep us posted with life as a 6 owner , if things do go wrong be prepared for a wallet crushing experience

Very fine beast.

Mechanically, nothing ever ever went wrong with my two....my 645 had 50k miles.....but sold my 650 with 3k miles.....just watch the roof sensors...had a few problems.

Yea I had a senaor problem in my e46 too

If I could get a 6er in my garage (it would be close!) I'd have one in a heartbeat. Lovely motor and great photos.

Thanks, yea its quite snug in mine, I will post you a pic of it squeezed in lol

Be interested to know how you get on and what your mpg is like with the V8.

Can see the attraction!

You will have to bear with me for that cos at the moment I just keep flooring it to hear the v8, launching of the lights in sport mode is fun

But currently, 170miles down the m1 at motor way speeds and a bit of hooning arround 22.1 mpg according to the obc

That is a bit of a monster! Nice one Sam, remember you saying about them.

A mate used to have a 645 and it was fantastic.

Is the roof folding mechanism more intricate than a zed?

the boot lid goes up first and it all folds inside that and then gets covered up, i test drove (3) 645i's before i got my ///M, they are a lovely smooth drive and very powerful, but every time i went back in my sons 3.0i Z4 i knew that is what i would end up with

p.s my son was logged in again on main pc this post was from AZ4MW

Does it? BMW fabric roofs on 4 seater verts usually go back of roof lifts first, roof storage opens and roof folds into it. But in the 6 the rear window goes down first then that formation starts. Different to the E85 and even the E89, although the E89 is more like the fabric roof formation

stick an aftermarket exhaust on that 650 and it will sing a note so beautiful all we stop and stare

[sam1832]

Lol it would be so loud

I see people remove the middle silencers and put a x pipe in between the twin exhausts

Sounds pretty loud
