My 640i Convertible

Hi Guys!

I would like to introduce myself shortly:
I am 47 years old and working in SA since beginning of this year, my name is Andreas.

After several BMW's (323i E21, M3 E30, M3 E36, 2x330d E46, M3 E46 Convertible, 335d E91) and several years on the northloop with the M cars, I had a look at the actual 6 Series and directly bought one after a test ride!

It was build in 2011 and has only 9000km on.

Black Saphire
20" rims
Leather Ivory
And some more nice things...

Hope to have some nice discussions here!

Thank you!

I already love it...

Especially here....sun every day and around 20 degree....in winter...

Some modifications need to be done:

1) Lower it around 20mm (Springs)
2) Spacers all around, not sure about the thickness...guess 15mm per side..

Any suggestions? Would be helpful!

To be honest, it looks fantastic as it is right now, i'm probably wrong, but lowering the car will change the ride quality (more bumpy) but i'm not sure

I like the wheels, are those 20''?

How hard is to keep the Ivory leather clean?

Thanks for your comments!

Will not be more bumpy with the right springs I think, cause they lower the car but spring rates will be the same (progressiv spring). Did it also with a lot of other BMW's and worked well...

Yeah, 20 inches of BMW (Styling 356).

Until know its ok, but you have to take care. The leather is ok, the carpet with the same colour and the plastic parts at the entrance/doors are hard to be kept clean (dirty shows)...
