I drove 650 altogether for probably about an hour. It felt heavier than 640 (probably because it is, ha ha). I do drive alone most of the time. |

N63 engine bay (coolant reservoir is up front next to the power steering reservoir...which BTW means that it is an AWD since it uses hydraulics to assist the power steering system...whereas RWD is 100% electronic steering)
N63TU engine bay (another noticeable difference is the triangular thingies on the air intake ducts next to the support bars that run from the front to the rear on each side:

Quicker, more engaging. Every time I spoke to my brother I’d tell him how much I like driving the 435. 70 cars including 9 Porsche’s and 15 years of racing.
I like the 640i car better but I like the 435 to drive better. Just put a smile on my face. |

Hey! Folks!
Option a: https://corporateperks.truecar.com/u...-bmw-6-series/ Option b: https://corporateperks.truecar.com/u...-bmw-6-series/ Pros and cons please. At the very beginning, A I can check by myself, B I would need to ask somebody to come and check onsite before I fly to pick a car and drive it back to TX. |

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. |

I drive my f06 650ix a TON = 40K per year. I ride and drive my buddy/neighbors 2017 f06 640ix several times a month.
I know some have said they don't notice a difference in power, that is just not my experience at all. They really are completely different cars to drive. One has 40% more power and gets much worse fuel economy. The power is noticeably felt all through the driving experience especially passing, the sound is also significantly different. There has been a lot of talk and evidence of reliability issues in the 650, I haven't seen anymore issues than I have in my other performance german cars. |

The rugrat is now in Grad school and on her second John Cooper Works Mini Cooper, I of course am her pit crew, car manager, and head mechanic. The first was an R56, it was a great performer in between oil leaks, latest gen is sublime though. Good on you! Last edited by Mnfamilyguy2020; 05-02-2021 at 06:59 AM.. |

So, after I test drove several cars I ended with 650 on my radar. Especially, after I tried st2 e30 map with 435. 640 much slower.
Now have one 650 that I am looking at. 2014. Less 55k miles. One owner. What should I check about engine before purchase? I will drive it 2000 mi back home and then bring to a service shop for a full inspection. Seller is BMW official dealership. |
