Sapphire Black 650i M sport - 6Post.com | BMW 6-Series Forum

Well, at last I got it. This car is one of the first batch of coupes to make it to Australia.

There are two differences compared to the American ones that I immediately noted - no front reflector and the shadowline trim rather than the chrome / ally trim. I like it.

Another, I could have bought two of these in America for the same money, and still have money left. That difference I am less happy about...

Anyway, after less than 100 kilometers, I already am crazy about this car. I particularly like the little snort the exhaust (in sport mode) makes as it changes gears up, especially between the first few gears...

A few photos:

Looks great, now you need to put some wax on it to take care of that beautiful paint.

Superspeed · 12-10-2011, 08:10 AM

Congrats, a really beauty with that color combo

Just don' crash it the first months

Roadsta......... what a great ride you have, thanx for the pics. We're looking at Feb for our Carbon Black/Ivory M to arrive. How come the steering wheel is on the right side??

Thanks for the positive comments.

After the first 3 days with this new car, I would have to admit it has exceeded my already high expectations. Even if you restrict your revs to say 4,500 or 5,000 as I am doing right now, this car has awesome performance. I wonder if some of the performance numbers are not a little conservative....
