there is no tint except factory tint and the pano roof is not an option but standard equipment. I tell you what, I LOVE this car. I love looking at it, driving it, everything. I just loaded my entire iTunes library into the hard drive (holds 40K songs) and have my music at my fingertips. It's going to take a year to figure out everything this car can do and I will give it my best efforts to do so. Yes on the black kidney grilles IF I can find that option for Night time vision . . .

Got it
Seeing the first pic on page 1 I thought pano roof was all the way
Then saw your car closer and saw you have it too but more towards the front
Got it
Amazing car
I keep coming back to your thread
Gorgeous blood red 6 series gran coupe I see daily
One word for your new car........amazing,beautiful,sweet,sexy,awesome,el egant. I know I said one word which should really be "astounding" but I got excited.
So, Chef...what are some of your driving impressions of this beauty...?
This thing hauls ass, the sound system is amazing, the dynamic damper (keeps the car nearly flat cornering) is an unbelievable experience. I took it on a tight, twisty road nearby, put it in "Sports Plus" mode, shifted via paddles and man oh man!! On the highway cruising in "Eco Plus" mode, it gets pretty decent gas mileage for a big V8 (23-25 mpg). Happy Happy Happy

Thanks Hapa. The reason I'm called "Chef" is below, as per Yum-chatka
What surprises me is in the land of Lala land, where I see 2-4 Alpina B7 a day, and 750iL, M4, M5 are more popular than Toyota Corolla, I hardly see the 6 gran coupe.
As good as it looks, in an image conscious world I wonder why more people don't drive it.
oonowindoo: I think BMW finally figured out how to tune the suspension on their cars to match the ride of the run-flats, it sure seems that way. On my 5, the RFT's were horrendous and I switched them out; on the 6 it is very unobtrusive. My wife's 335 has RFT's and when she got in it the other day for a ride, she asked "does this car have run flats because it sure doesn't feel like it." I bought tire/wheel insurance for 5 years that will replace tires that get damaged in any way except intentionally (slashed) and repair/replace wheels for $1500. I think it's a good investment since I have to imagine 2 tires and one wheel would probably equal $1500 or pretty close to it.
neuronbob:thanks bro! I have wanted a 6 series car since the mid-80's and now I finally have one. Beautiful in person, in fact, I'm looking at it right now!
2012wagon: that's the number one reason I love my car-I don't see any of them on the road. Surprised they are not more popular in LA.

I Agree with you about the improvement on the runflat but they still suck big time.
If your old 5's runflat was 3 out of 10, the new ones will be 5 out of 10. better, yes. Good? No.
There is a reason why M cars do not have runflats i think your V8 Twin Turbo deserves a nice set of summer tires.
Hey i am just doing what AZ does, convincing people to spend on the unnecessary things.

I'd say the 5's OEM tires were more like a 2/10; the 6's are more like a 7 or 8/10, seriously. I've spent the $1500 on the wheel/tire insurance now, there's no turning back, nor do I want to at this point in spite of your attempts to separate me from my $$$ .

I'll just say, removing the runflats from my 335i was one of the best "mods" I've done to date. Completely changes the car. :grin:
I'd never drive a sport ute-ever. I don't care if it's an M or an AMG, I'll never do it. I love my E61, it still drives like new and has all the utility of a sport ute but has the sport package with different suspension.

not going to either, I put road hazard on wheels/tires for 5 years for $1500, no questions asked replacement/fix
LOVE it!
