My new 640d GC
Picked her up yesterday and had a lot of fun! Just a quick frosty pic this morning. Will get some better ones taken after I get the detail done

Looking good buddy. Just been for a long drive in mine and on second thought it is quite quick . Re the vibrations check your tyre pressure as mine were way out and it has helped a bit.

When I picked mine up, the rears were 44 and 35! I fixed that but the vibration was after that. I'll get it balanced and see how it is.
Tried out launch control today. A bit wet but Jesus it's fast! Last edited by 325_bucks; 01-23-2017 at 08:33 AM.. |

On further inspection there's no weights on the rear wheels. That must be it? Silly buggers fitted two new tyres too and forgot to put them on.

I coded a few things on my car yesterday, thought id take the opportunity to learn how to do it properly. So far just changed the mirror fold delay, turn off drive on door opening, remember last start/stop setting. Need to decide what else to do but it's actually not that hard if you're careful.

Honestly, it's a lot easier than it seems. Granted, I work with technology everyday but I was still daunted by the task. Turns out it's really not hard as long as you press the right buttons. I haven't tried VO coding yet which is more risky but don't think I would need to anyway. Happy to help where I can.

Yes just got back. The M6 sound is subtle, but I think I prefer it. I get the feeling if the car revved higher like a petrol, it might sound even better in the high rev range but as it is, it does sound good.

its booked in for next month!
Problem is there are a number of stone chips that IMO have been repaired badly in the past. I want to get them fixed, I considered briefly a full bonnet respray but that's too costly. Going to try out one of these chips away types and see what they can do |

yeah that's what I figured. I think I'm just going to get them repaired the best they can be and then when it's detailed I hope it will not be that noticeable. It's not even that noticeable now, but I know they're there.

On the odd occasions I have used them in the past I've never been happy with their work and ended up gong to a body shop. |

You don't need to go to BMW at their rates of £140p/h, any good body shop will sort it, yes normally the tops of the wings and bumper will need to be feathered in, sometimes you can get away with just lacquer rather than painting the tops.
Another trick is to get a toothpick or very sharp tipped brush apply the paint to it and then make a blob over the damaged area, let it dry and then flatten it with a smooth soft cloth using polish being carful not to apply pressure and break the lacquer, normally works well, even better when the panels are warm |

Makes a whole world of difference to the active sound. It's there in the ASD module where you would have coded the s63 engine noise. |
