Rolled up to the local dealer, was meeting my buddy there to talk about a car with my salesperson.

Anyway, I pulled up and the owner of the dealer was getting out of his Viper SRT. He came up to the car to say hello and informed me the 6series was inside.

Long story short, the coupe looks infinitely better than the convertible (both were there). I'm still not crazy about the trunk lid. The interior is very personal and sporty, wouldn't exactly call the interior exciting though. Needs a nice set of wheels and a 35% tint.

Overall the car was nice, but the coupe in the showroom didn't even have the Sport package and was just under $73k (vert was slightly under $80k if I recall)....yikes.

Too bad there wasn't one outside, would have liked to take it for a ride...maybe next time.

 

A buddy of mine is waiting on his, he lives a block away so i will def take pics. I hope he lets me drive it. I will for sure get a ride in it.

 

I'm sorry, but for that money, I'd rather be in an AMG - anything .. preferably the E55.

 

Sure the e55 is fun in a straightline, but nothing else about that car impresses me. but thats just me

Not saying the 645ci is my top choice though

 

I have seen it in a auto show. It is pretty ugly.

 

Same here. I both versions at the Detroit auto show. It's okay, but doesn't really excite me much at all. The back does look slightly out of place IMO

 

imo, i'd rather have ur car jerm

the 645 doesn't do much for me.

 

Pretty uninspiring design. Looks harmless. I'd take an M3.

 

yea, I rather have an M3

 

 

 

Sorry no pics, don't want to look like a tirekicking tourist at the dealer.

I agree, it didn't exactly look like a $75k car.....there are other vehicles I would consider at that price before the 6er.

 

$75Gs....I'd get a new Cobra and a new TL as a daily driver!

 

i've always liked the way u think


now i know who 2 speak 2 when i need a set-up an appt at a bimmer dealership in ny

 

personally i'd rather drive an m3 too. Cant justify the car for the money (the 6 series)

 

I like it......

White w/Maroon is now one of my top five most desirable cars.....






I also like the fact the other two transmission options don't cost extra.

 

the car is one of BMW pimper rides out there and suppose to go against the MB CL500 thats $100K

I would love the 6 series and just wait till people test it more and you see them in the streets. Many of you guys posting about how ugly it is will be like...you know it has grown on me.

it a new series so it will look weird but you have to see what they are doing a $75K coupe....it has to have more than what your seeing.

time will tell and Im pretty certain it will effect the CL sales drastically cause it has all the luxury and speed with better handling and not too many people have it

and it looks much better than an M3 if you put one next too each other...the 6 series is much bigger you'll see

 

this is what makes it

Most importantly, though, the new 645Ci performs. The focal point of the 6 Series' resurrection will certainly be the 4.4-liter V8 liberated from the 7 Series. Winner of the 2002 International Engine Award of the Year, BMW's Valvetronic V8 is simply the best eight-cylinder engine in existence. Never mind that its fully variable valve timing eliminates the need for a throttle plate, improving fuel economy dramatically. Never mind that its 325 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque are class-leading numbers for normally aspirated engines. Rev the big motor past 5,000 rpm and you'll be greeted with the smoothest, sweetest-sounding V8 ever. Clichés like "sophisticated" and "an engine note like ripping silk" were coined for this big block.

It is also lightning quick; its 5.6-second, 0-to-62.5 mph time is surprisingly spry for a coupe weighing 3,500 pounds. And its spread of power is generous as well, as passing acceleration is swift, even when the transmission remains in fourth gear. Making the most of the engine is a choice of no less than three six-speed transmissions — a manual, an automatic and the SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) with paddle shifting. The choice for most Americans will, of course, be the automatic. Unlike most slushboxes, however, the ZF automatic gearbox displays a fair degree of driver control; its Steptronic function offers an automanual-shifting option while, in auto mode, it holds gears longer when it senses the driver is feeling frisky.

 

I completely disagree, the E46 M3 is probably one of the best looking BMWs to date. The 6series isn't ugly, but the car just doesn't have the same great looking appearance as the M3.

Especially comparing the 645Ci convertible vs. the M3 convertible. The M3 is a much nicer looking car.

The trunklid on the 6 really hurts the design imho.

 

we'll see once I see them on the streets...I usually dont go by how they look in the dealer. Look at the difference between a stock cl-s and one after being on the forum

the E46 is the best looking 3 series cause the old 5 series and the old 7 series are hot as hell.

but I see your point...we'lll see

that stupid trunk sticks out like a cock

 

yeah, my dad is still wishy washy on getting one, he's on the list but hasnt ordered yet. We checked it out when the first coupe came in. Black/Red w/o the sport. He'd def get the 19's and sport pack, no doubt. It was def a hot car. The interior is spartan but thats how BMWs are, I bet the car handles like a dream. And this thing is pretty huge. I like the size, its def a beast. Wonder if there'll be a 12 cylinder version.

 

i like the pics but, at 73k i'd have to rethink things.

 

i rather have a m3 coupe with 20k in mods and hre wheels

 

645 is the most unimaginitive, un-inspiring, creatively bereft car designs.....if i wanted that I would just by an accord :o

 

I agree it's bland for the $...M3 anyday.

 

You know there is an old saying in the auto trade.........there is a seat for every ass

 

i'l take my CL500 over that please thanks

 

One drove by my house the yesterday -- I live about 1/2 mile away from a BMW/Mini dealership and see people test driving around my side streets all the time. Cannot say the design does much for me either. It's something about the rear end -- I'm not sure what the designers were thinking.

I was a fan of the 635csi and M6, but that was a while ago.
