Wow-wow-wow! This is a great thread so informational. I've experienced the issues of the N63 (2012 X5 5.0i)… when I got the 2013 650ix Gran Coupe I was afraid I purchased the same engine, and problems. Turns out I have the T/TU.
As far as performance, I feel my 650 Gran Coupe can hold its own. I've not owned or driven a 4, but I've driven 3s and owned 5s. Recently my son had a 3 series and now has an 2008 M6, again… I feel like my 650 is quicker than both of them. Just picked it up preowned in March… had local dealership checked it out and it was in such good condition they were very surprised that I didn't get it from BMW.
That being said… I think I first loved this vehicle for the look exterior & interior. I've had more that one person (male & female) tell me the car was "sexy". Also because I've always liked the 6 series from the 80's. And yeah… the tilt roof thing pisses me off too.
