My freshly picked up 640d

Scottiedog · 01-21-2017, 12:15 PM

Sorry for the very poor photos will put some better ones on soon. First impressions are it drives like a dream and the cabin quality is another level compared to my f31 but it should be I guess. It doesn't feel as quick as I was expecting BUT I think it's because it's so insulated and cosseting when in reality it is. Think it needs to go back to the dealer as there's a slight resonance/vibration when doing motorway speeds. I guess the front wheels need balancing I hope? Anyway very pleased

oh and the other thing is the oil temp gets up really fast and stays hot for ages after it's been turned off. This normal? My f31 took forever to get to temp!

Picked mine up and believe it or not the first thing I had is vibration/wobbling at motorway speeds! Got to get it checked but I'm in love with it. It's super quick but I get what you mean about being insulated a little, but overall it's wonderful. No pics yet as I've been driving all day and it's dark now. Will get some up tomorrow. Overall though I'm very impressed. Need to spend some time setting up seating position etc but apart from that it's great and the HUD is amazing, definitely a must have from now on!

Yes HUD is very cool especially with the nav instructions. Glad to hear you like it too

what did they diagnose the vibration as?

Sorry didn't read the post properly

have you got 20" rims too? Wonder if they are sensitive due to their size?

chris.t · 01-21-2017, 01:33 PM

Your car looks great, hope you enjoy it as much as i do mine.

Yeah I got 20s. Going to get them to check balance and alignment and see what they say

Taheemr · 01-21-2017, 03:11 PM

Nice motor, that combination reminds me of the old e63 stratus grey with beige if you recall that worked really well in my view. You'll find that dash is very addictive with those 3 displays.

Hope you enjoy it

Hope so, it's only motorway speeds.

I seriously love this car!

macca1410 · 01-21-2017, 04:15 PM

Nice car mate. Get a tune it makes a noticable difference.

Best bit about the 6er is when you get out. I can't not turn back to look at it as walking off. Can't see how the G series will look better. Maybe improve front lights but the arse is perfect in my opinion.

Scottiedog · 01-22-2017, 01:20 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yes it's got a prefect rear end

and I can't help but look back once or twice when walking away either. That asd v8 sound is getting addictive although the economy is taking a bit of a hit for it!

Bored of Audi · 01-22-2017, 05:14 PM

it's certainly different to the f30.. The oil temp in mine is up-to half in 3 miles!

They are big but a lovely car

So its the 650i not the 640d

No 640d but the fake sound makes it sound like a v8 in my opinion

Taheemr · 01-23-2017, 09:24 AM

Yes i thought it was, i am curious to understand more on the 650i as their ultra rare in the UK.

Its a V6 sound, get it coded to sound like the M6. I kid you not, the best bit of coding I've had done. Mpg takes a hit though.

Taheemr · 01-24-2017, 10:14 AM

why does the MPG take a hit its only sound

325_bucks · 01-24-2017, 10:15 AM

I think he means it encourages you to put your foot down

AceCobra1 · 01-24-2017, 12:39 PM

Nice motor

It's a v8 sound. Bmw don't make a v6 so I doubt they would try and replicate a engine note they don't make

I quite like my m6 active sound on my 640d

I wish the roads would dry out so I can actually get some power down but so far I'm liking the m6 asd
