You coming to UK8 Paul. Look forward to seeing it then.

What a change from a 320D. Nice one.

- Paul - · 09-18-2009, 02:00 AM

I'm going to UK8. Looking forward to it.

Re coupe/saloon handling - I don't know how to answer that one - is there normally a difference between the two? The 6 is easier to drive fast. The 3 had more involvement with a manual box.

Lovely looking car Paul.

I do like the 6 series a lot.

Geoffo · 09-18-2009, 02:26 AM

I have been seriously contemplating a 6 series as opposed to a 335d or i - seems so much more of a car for your money as opposed to yet another 3 series...................

Would be very interested to hear more about the ownership experience and economy etc.

Did you buy privately or is it an AUC car?

AUC - I wanted the warranty. There is a lot of kit to go wrong!!

Any questions - fire away or pm. Economy so far - test drives and showing my mates it etc and down to 20mpg now. I'm hoping to average 26 or more on motorway runs.

big pimp · 09-19-2009, 05:00 PM

lovely lovey car mate....

i have my mapped 330d for another year, and the two most realistic options for me next are a mapped 335d or mapped 635d, and everytime I see the big mighty 6, I am definitely swaying towards them.

Are there any 6 forums out there?

I picture my 6 being black (although white would be uber cool), panoramic roof, i-drive with TV etc. and probably running on a set of 20" rims with a nice lip!

just need to start searching now so I can find the right one, and know what the right mods to do are kit wise etc.

- Paul - · 09-20-2009, 03:55 AM

No dedicated 6 forum's - best one I've found so far is bimmerfest

beemerbird · 09-21-2009, 12:58 PM

Paul car looks really 'mean', reckon you're chuffed to bits.

Bet you're loving that V8 rumble.

Congrats and look forward to seeing it at UK8.
