Hope much did u manage to pick yours up for if you dont mind me asking and where from? Only reason I ask is that there are loads on the AUC website so if i can go to them with a figure of what i can realistically expect to pick one up for they may be will to do a deal. The new model is due immimently so these cars are losing serious money right now and i feel a bargain could be had!
Re mpg i've not had a chance to drive mine much but doing mostly stop start town stuff ive been getting round 32mpg. not bad but not amazing either, although i am looking into a remap.......

That's one real expensive itch you've got yourself there!

I believe I was uber lucky finding a September registered (60 Plate) 2200 mile example on my door step (Eastern BMW – Newbridge, Edinburgh) for a little over £40K - There are quite a few on the AUC website but at that sort of money they tend to have double if not treble the miles on them and will almost certainly be on a 10 Plate. I guess It’s swings and roundabouts though as I didn’t get as much for my M3 as I believed it was worth……

My current thinking is that I'll run it as is for a couple of months but will definitely remap at some point down the line, however we then start getting into the whole traction/LSD debate - and that point, I’ll start wishing I’d gone for an M6!

I think you got a great deal there mate. I have managed to secure a deal on a August 10 plate with 4k miles on the clock for £36.5k with servicing included till 2015. Guess what id like to know is 2 years from now what will it be worth? Will the impact of the new one coming on the market hit the values of ours hard?
decisions decisions...

nmack8 · 03-07-2011, 05:01 PM

Sounds like you got a right good deal also - the inclusive 5 year servicing for sure has to help! One of the many things I've learned over the years (often to my cost) is the more you spend on a car the more you loose

A 6-Series is never going to hold its relative value as well as say a 3-Series Coupe but the fact we've chosen Diesels will mitigate some of the inevitable depreciation. IMO I don’t believe the new model will affect the value of 2½ -3 year old cars too much, it tends to be newer cars that take a bit of a hit when a new model arrives…..

Fitted a pair of Matte Black Grilles to mine at the weekend and I'm certainly feeling the differance

Where did you get the grilles? Good fit? Easy job?

I also have amtte black grilles. I bought mine from Bimmian. The fitment is perfect and the difficulty out of 10 was a 2.5

Here's the link to my baby:

Bought off eBay -

Not the best fit if I'm being brutally honest - Certainly not compared to the OEM anyway. Maybe I'm expecting too much for £64.00 delivered......!

Takes approx 10-15 minutes to fit & relatively straight forward job....

I'm now thinking I'll get the outer part (they easily comes apart) painted either Sapphire or just plain gloss Black and leave the slats Matte.

Welcome & Congrats on the new ride. I would love to see some pics.

My dealer has two 2010s Verts for crazy money off and I really want my wife to get one. I am bored to death of her 328x iDrive its like BMWs version of a Camry to me.

They have .9% financing and are over 20K off list. I like the car a lot for that money and I like the car a lot anyway.

Working on a deal now, any reason that I should not get one from those who have experience is appreciated.....Thanks.....Steve

645 CI here in the UK

GreyCoupe · 04-13-2011, 01:13 PM

Not currently, mine was a 645Ci, which I foolishly traded on an SL 550.

I have a new F13 on order, does that count??

Just joined this site (on pretty much all other big BMW fora). I have a 2006 630Ci Sport with SMG. I also have an e39 & an e36.

GreyCoupe · 12-05-2011, 04:17 PM

SL vs 645Ci ride: SL felt bigger, softer, more willing to body-roll. Nice car, but more bling than brawn.

Just picked up a 2012 640i - love it - head turn
