Looking at my car this morning, I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the license plate sits low in the bumper as opposed to the trunk lid of other cars. The cameras are usually tucked up in the plate recess area and perhaps it's just too low on the 6 series to get a proper "view". So the only alternative was to have an ugly camera wart protruding from the boot lid, or hide it behind the roundel.

Back when they change the model in 2011 it may have been the only car with the flip roundel camera, but now in 2015 every car should have it available... "copycats" lol However the LCD dash on the 2015 models... OMG! that's AMAZING! can't wait to be able to personalize it... i'm sure they are coming out with that option via usb... |

650 has 130 HP (~40%) more power and 150 lb-ft (~45%)more torque while 200-300 lb (~7%) heavier right? I have no idea about your 640, but I recall I had some 4.4-4.5 second (0-60) with my 650i...

That's possible - but again why make the 6er the only model with this setup, that precludes a power trunk? Obviously BMW engineered the overall design knowing it did not allow for this feature. And as we all know there have been many threads & comments over the past couple years about this, with I believe the majority either upset/disappointing/surprised/confused as to why a car of this luxury caliber is missing such a basic feature. So I frankly think BMW dropped the ball on this, and always will. And nobody, I mean nobody including the delivery supervisor in Munich that I questioned about this can explain it. |

A friend of mine just got an R8 (the smaller v8 one) and we raced without the jb4 and even though he beat me. It wasn't by much. Maybe 1 car length... Both cars stock. So I'll let you know when I race him again with my jb4 on. That one should be close... |

I traded cars with my friend for a week. He has a 550xi. His trunk lid was much larger/heavier. Still I tried to close it every time with my hand (I guess something I learned how to do and have been doing since I was 16). That really ticked off the system and the trunk would close about 3" and then freeze. Pressing the button then re-opened it?
Long story short - I was thrilled to get back into my 6-series where I could just close the trunk (seriously, that's not a trunk, it is a small shelf) with a quick pull. No waiting, no fuss. That mystery button however will lock the doors, which is nice, click that, close the trunk with your hand and walk away. Count me in with the 3 people who think it is just fine the way it is. Oh and the soft close doors are worthless as well on this car.

And yes, with my X6, the soft close doors would have been wonderful (foolish mistake saving $600) - and on my wife's MDX? Damn they need them so bad - you can't close those doors without a slam! But on the 6 series? With the frame-less windows? Once again, silly. Almost difficult to activate - because the doors close like butter - without the assist of motors which only make this heavy beast even heavier.
