I just picked it up this past Friday, and had fun driving it all weekend. Its an absolutely amazing machine, even down to the Bang & Olufsen stereo! The speakers have white accent lighting at night which looks really nice, and the sound quality is incredible!

To answer a few questions...

The sunroof only tilts up, it doesn't slide back. The trade in on the 740i wasn't that bad, there was a negative balance of about $4,300. It's very well worth it, this car is way more fun to drive, and looks great!

I will post some more pics up by the weekend, after I have the windows tinted, and have the car detailed. I will include some interior shots.

which one has a smoother softer ride in comort?

The F12/F13 6 Series have a much more visceral exhaust note than the F01 7 Series.

I saw a vert back at the end of may. That was a surprise. They've been around for a while. The coupe is stunning, love it. AW is a killer

The exhaust sounds great! I find myself muting the radio to listen to the exhaust... I haven't driven the car in comfort mode yet. I been using sport mode... The car rides smooth and there is minimal road/ wind noise with the windows closed... BMW did a great job designing this car, it's simply an amazing machine!

Here are a few up-close pics of the headlights, fog light, and tail light. The first pic is only the DRL's, and the second is with the headlight on. I also included a pic of the interior and the B&O speakers in the door. Sorry for poor quality pics!

Manual shifting in Sport + is really fun. DINAN stage 2 (for the 650) should be ready at the end of the month according to Scott @ DINAN. To be honest I keep questioning the need the car is quick as it is... As always BMW is being conservative with the HP ratings. How is it that the Convertible and Coupe are posting basically the same times and the Convertible weighs in at 4500 + pounds and still is posting 0-60 times in the mid 4's @ 13.0 trapping 107 to 110 mph stock. 400hp my arse:roll eyes: I'm going to get this thing Dyno'd I could be wrong.

I haven't given this car much thought. Wasn't impressed with it at all from debut photos. Your photos changed my mind completely, what a gorgeous car enjoy it in good health

The inside lights up pretty nice at night, it has the signature orange, but with the B&O system, you also get white ambient lighting around all of the speakers. The white lighting goes off if when the speakers are not in use, and the tweeter in the middle of the dashboad goes down into the dash when not in use.

Bi-xenon menas the same xenon bulb is used for the both the high and low beama. Some cars (hondas/acuras) have a low beam Xenon and high beam Halogen headlight thats is the difference. All bi-xenon cars have low and high beam xenon because it uses the same bulb and a filter is placed over the bulb to allow less light to pass through when the low beams are on. When you turn on the high beams the filter is removed.
