2014 650xi GC
Well was at the dealership today and somehow ended up leaving NOT in my '12 550i but in a new '14 BMW 650xi GC in Carbon Black Metallic. Sales manager made me a great deal which I found difficult to refuse on an '14 M6 GC in the showroom but if I was going to move from my Dinan equipped 550i then it was going to be for an AWD equivalent [wife insisted]. They even threw in a tint and I kept my Pilot Sport A/S 19" wheels instead of the 20" Run Flat A/S tires that BMW insisted the 650xi come off the line with! Yuk
So here's the one that got away and also the one that followed me home. 2014 BMW 650xi GC -Carbon Black Metallic leather w/deviated stitching -Cinammon Brown Nappa interior -M Sport Edition -Cold Weather Pkg -Driver Assistance Pkg -M Sport Pkg -Executive Pkg -Lighting Pkg -Bang and Olufesen Sound -ACC Stop & Go/Active That Shakir Orange M6 GC wasn't bad either. Enjoy.

The SO M6 GC looks like my twin (except in US spec not UK)!

Nice - curious about what you find different between the two cars (other than the seats in the GC...yuk )
And can't believe you got rid of the 20s. There is nothing like driving on round rocks

Hopefully my 20" wheels from my 550i will fit on the new 650xi. Size and Offsets should work I think. My 19" 550i M3 343 wheels seem to have fit the 650xi pretty well.

Well off topic but I've just gone and ordered some Conti DWS for the winter/summer
Must also order the fix a flat kit too

Sorry, a little confused on what you are saying above about your wheels. Do you have a set of the M5 343M's to sell? |

No I have a set of 20" aftermarket wheels that were on my 550i and I kept. Will put them on the 650ix in the Spring however wonder about both offsets and rears for fitment (see pic in post). Yes I drove the 640i 2yrs ago and almost pulled the trigger as they had no 650i's around which is why I went with the 550i then. Who knew I'd eventually upgrade into the GC back then. Very nice car...gets lots of looks an attention and does drive more sporty than my 550i in stock form.
