Looking to buy a 2012 650i convertible 6-speed soon
Just an introduction.
I've done a little research but always welcome tips. I'm coming from a 335i. I test drove a 6 series today and it definitely felt like a huge boat. I figured I'd just get used to it. I'd like to get some good wheels/tires and maybe an M sport exhaust or similar someday. Any other ideas for mods? Last edited by thenewrick; 12-07-2016 at 08:14 PM.. |

Review some of the issues with the N63 engine versus N63TU (2013-present). there are a couple threads on here.

I am aware that there are some issues with it and that there was a Customer Care Package that was supposed to have fixed those issues.
The car I'm looking at is still under CPO warranty for another 15 months so I reckon it should be alright? |

all things being equal, I'd go with the 2013 and get the N63tu. Its a bit of an unknown, but the unknown is better than the proven problems with the N63 motor.

OP, I have had the pleasure of both the e63 and F12 manual transmissions. They are awesome and way better than a 3 series. The 3 series weigh less and might be a little tighter around the corners, but everything else is better with the 6. The 3 just seems cheap now! |
