F13 first look

[Jon D]

Saw my first one today and it looks stunning 'in-the-metal'. My dealer has a 640d in the showroom and I'll be taking it out for a few hours very soon. I know the F12 and 13 are both the same size, but I can't believe how much bigger than the convertible it looks. As it happens I'd just returned the F12 I'd had on loan whilst my F10 was undergoing a warranty fix and, although the coupé and convertible weren't exactly side by side, they were both black and not all that far apart - it just looks like a totally different car.
I've previously had the F12 out on 2 extended test drives totalling at least 700 miles and I'd all but convinced myself that I'd be ordering one next spring. However, seeing the F13 is sowing seeds of doubt. Also the last 2 days of very wintery weather in the convertible has dulled it's edge a bit for me - you're very aurally aware of the wind gusting around the cloth top.
Can't wait to get a few hundred miles in the coupé and if it's as good as I hope, I could be saving myself the £6k convertible price premium.
