640i Cp or X6 3.5

vencid78 · 11-15-2011, 11:39 AM

Hello everyone! I am looking to upgrade me 328i Cp to a 640i Cp or X6 3.5. I know they are two diff. vehicles and i had my hart set on the X6 but when the new 6 Series Coupe came out ... OMG. So, now it is a hard choice for me. What do i like in the X6 - space, style, taller ( i am 6'4" ), but the MPG is bad and i don't care for the AWD. The 640i on the other hand is so sexy - i am 33 years old, but don't think that is a car for the old folks.
I would like a feedback! Thank you!

Strange enough the X6 was the only alternative for the 640i (allthough cabriolet) for me as well.
I tested both.

My brain said X6, my heart said 640.

I listened to my heart

Superspeed, would you tell me more - why the 640?

Superspeed · 11-15-2011, 05:31 PM

Feelings are difficult to explain, but I have a long tradition of sports cars (or at least sporty cars). This time I felt like considering something different. An ordinary sedan is nothing to me, and the X5 is too common. That's why the X6 could be something. It stands out, not beautiful, a brutal design, politically incorrect. Very impractical for it's size, allthough better than the 640i. These are all qualities on the positive side.

Besides, living in a country with long and snowy winters, an X6 definitely suits the climate well.

Then they revealed the design of the 6-series F12/F13 last year, which brought back my childhoods dreams of the 633CSi. At that time an unrealistic fantasy, but today something within reach.
I was immediately struck by the beauty of the design and gradually understood that sports cars or at least convertibles are my eternal destiny (I must add that for urban use I have a Mini Cooper S, which might be traded in for a F20 120d in 2012).

It was a choice between a (slightly impractical) beauty and a (slightly less impractible) beast. The beauty won, allthough I sympathise with the beast.

So you see this is a personal choice, not made by rational arguments. If so, the X6 would not be on my list either.....

Speedster, thank you! I think i am going for the X6. The reason why - it has 4 doors, more back space ( found the 6 coupe backspace very small ) and like you said, it is a beast. I have until the end of this month to make up my mind. The 6 on the other hand is so sleek, better MPG ... i don't know

Superspeed · 11-16-2011, 02:07 PM

Allthough not my final choice, the X6 is an excellent automobile! I tested it and especially with the 4 seperate seats it gives you a coupe feeling not existing in any other SUV.
You are right about the rear seats in the 6er. Only for kids.

You will be happy with any of the two

There was a sold sign in a carbon black X6M waiting for me to take delivery, when I decided to change direction and go with the F12 6 series. One of the main reasons was the technology of the F cars. The E72 X6 just felt dated to me in many areas i.e. dash board gauges, NAV, lack of LED coronas on the M Version, etc... The performance of the X6M is incredible however. Also I know that an updated X6 is coming relatively soon. I didn't want to buy a new X6M for it to be replaced by a much improved version in a couple of years. We all know what happens when an all new model hits.

I have an SUV and a Sedan for people shuttling as well as a Mini for the times I don't feel like driving the 6. It really all depends on your personal needs/preferences

bavboym3 · 11-17-2011, 12:08 PM

I hate the look of the x6

vencid78 · 11-17-2011, 01:31 PM

vencid78 · 11-21-2011, 12:55 PM

Bravo

But truthfully that is a hard choice but in the end its hard not to like the "new body" 6

vencid78 · 11-22-2011, 07:27 AM

It is a Jet Black with Black Interior - i know Speedstar has the Black Sapphire and i can tell you i like the Jet black because is darker and glossy. Car_fan, thank you.
When i said i order i did not order it from a scratch, but i located one coming from the factory and it will be here next week ... i sooo can't wait

Congrats on your new car, be sure to post some pics when you get your car and share some of the specs on your new car.
