Very much so. i was still a teenager when we met... LOL (you can save your hair color comment)

Maybe you could, i still can't see myself in anything bigger than 3 series.

 

I could do an M6GC or an M5...my bank account on the other hand, could do no such thing.

 

I can't imagine myself in anything smaller than a 5 unless it's a Z4. The 3's seats suck compared to my 5's for comfort and the interior is noticeably cheaper.

 

Having driven both the BMW 6GC and the Panamera within a couple days of each other, I would take the GC over the Panamera if enjoying the drive is important to you. The 6GC shrinks around you when you drive it and feels smaller than it actually is. The Panamera still feels huge, even though it handles well and has plenty of power. It never quite feels as nimble as a car with a Porsche badge should.

 

Long time no see!! My friend hates his current 750LI. He's thinking of breaking the lease a year early and get into a S6. He said he gets car sick driving it because it feels way too boaty

Yea, it still looks ugly as sin but I've overlooked it because of driving dynamics


Meet Cayman XL and Cayman S! I'm LOVING the flippin awesome Cayman. After tracking them back to back I'd take a Cayman S ANY day over a 991, 991S, 991 C4S.


That's really interesting, I felt the opposite was true! It feels almost exactly like a 911 when driving. Even when you chuck it around through a 90 degree corner at 40mph it doesn't feel big.

AWD models with PASM + Sports Plus probably makes a huge difference? I will agree the rwd Panamera and Panamera S didn't drive right to me at all. Definitely lacked the precision handling I'd expect from a Porsche.

 

That might be it. The one that I drove was a RWD Panamera S and while it made all the right noises and had all the right equipment, it really failed to impress upon me the right sensations as the comparably priced 650i GC.

 

I'm cramped in a 3 series...or even a 5. Here's something funny...an accord has almost identical interior specs as a short 7 series (bigger in front room actually).


I'm currently in a 750li E66...with the kids in the back, it's money...no kicking my seat, etc.


And i'll save the purple hair comment oops

you still in Arcadia?

 

Does he drive a new one? I was amazed at how well the F02's felt for such a big car...my '08 is a little bloated. There is a guy that tracks his F02 and its funny watching the stuff he passes on the track.


I may be bias as my dad has had 7's since early 90's...made a mistake and went to a S500 in 2000 and HATED it...now in a tesla P85+ and secretly has regrets not getting in another 7.

 

One of my colleagues has a 6GC with Xdrive. I LOVE seeing his car in the parking lot, it's one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. He loves it but doesn't push it on the road.

A7 is another gorgeous car. Between the two, I'd get the A7 based on looks and interior. However, it'd be a tough choice.

 

It's a 2014 that he has.
I love the 90's 7 series! It has such classic styling lines, id love a manual one!!!

When did you get your p85!?

 

F30 3's are noticeably bigger inside than the previous gens. It is actually comparable with previous 5 series in terms of interior space (especially leg room)

But yah i agree, the build and material quality is not the same as 5 series but it is also cheaper.

 

well with 7 series.. the boss usually sit in the back, that is where all the spaces are. BMW does not care about the driver in the 7 series
As long as your kids enjoy the ride.

i moved out of Arcadia in 2004 to the ghetto, East LA and now in Baldwin Park, so yah still in the ghetto.

 

Honestly, I hated the A/S7 when for a long time. They've grown a lot on me & they're pretty uncommon on the road around here.
I'd take the A7 over the 6GC, but an M6GC over the A/S7. But in the end, I'd be all over a CLS63 AMG-S (MB fanboi)

6GC<A7<S7<M6GC<RS7

 

We own a 2011 335xi and it is too small for me to go on a 4-6 hr trip in.

 

2012+ is significantly bigger.

i know very well how tiny E90 is.

F30 is noticeably bigger inside than E90, especially rear leg room. But again it is not an E class or S class big. But bigger.
of course if you got the $$, get 6 series GC by all means.

But i heard you can get 14 535 M sport at some ridiculous rate right now.

 

I love the 5 series-but they are EVERYWHERE and look no different (by much) than a 3. That's my big problem with them.

 

535 M sport looks VERY different than 335 M sport.... to me... but not to my GF.

 

So, I've made an executive decision and 6GC xDrive, white it is. I was having this conversation with two brothers on the ski patrol with me and one said "why don't you get a VW GTR?" "Because I'm too old to be cruising around in a go-kart is why." I have been scouring and found an Apine White 6GC xDrive in Atlanta with 12K, M Sport, Executive pkg., BMW apps, Lighting package for $68K. May be headed off to Atlanta soon . . . stay tuned.

 

Can't wait for pics.
640 or 650?

 

Nice. My colleague is still in love with his. He put Sottozero winter tires on his and it is unstoppable....and so gorgeous.

 

Congrats!

 

 

Oh ya party time

 

Awesome!! If you come through Charlotte, let me know for sure!

 

Congrats!

Coincidence, I'll be riding/driving done to the Amelia Concours this weekend in a M6 Grand Coupe Competition Package. Owner is one of the people we're going with.

 

I haven't bought it-yet, just gotta do it.

 

Hurry! Hurry! HURRY!!!!!!!

 

Well, get to it!

Stop PWing on AZ and buy that car, you slacker!

 

Are you selling the 5er then?

The 6GC you have picked out sounds great.

 

hell yes, hope it all goes smoothly

 

Def. 640

my 530xi T is a rockstar in snow, I would expect nothing less from the 640.

sounds good Beanie!

No, I'll keep the 530xi T for my hauler/winter beater car.

 

530Xi as a winter/beater car.. Clearly I'm doing something wrong in life. Hahaha. Good luck Chief, hope to see pictures of it soon!

 

Yes if you come through Charlotte let us know. It is very hard to get JB out of the house for meets and always like to meet up with members from the forum. Goodluck.

 

welp, that car in Duluth got sold (for more than I was willing to offer btw). Back to interweb I go . . .

 

That sucks. Maybe you will find a better one

 

Mebbe if you weren't so busy posting about it and buying it first, this would not have happened, huh!?!??




NAO STAND IN THE e-CORNER!

 

I was going to offer $64900 and that was my final offer; it got sold for $67K which I never would have matched so go find another one. They're cars, not watches Yummy! lol

 

dont give up on that A7. definitely a huge fan of those.

 

^^^ too late

 

I have discovered in the last couple weeks, that a 650 is going for nearly the same $$ as a 640 with a better warranty (2013 650 vs. 2014 640) with equal mileage. I'll have made up my mind within the next few weeks on which one I'm gonna grab. This 650 ticks all the boxes except for the interior color (I prefer cinnamon brown):
