Waxed it Myself

Frupal · 06-13-2019, 05:00 PM

Spent a couple hours washing and waxing the 640 GC. This is one big car. Lol!

It’s great! For a good thirty minutes. Lol!

Looks great - commented on your pic on the fender thread, too - looks very nice. The 6GC is truly the most beautiful car BMW has made in many years. The last BMW that looked this good was the E38 7-series.

I think they missed the boat on the new 8 and 8GC.

Probably "not a coupe", as in it a gran coupe.

Looks great! Glad to see you got the bumper fixed. Did you PPF it?

The 6GC is not just the most beautiful car BMW has made in many years, it is among the most beautiful cars ever made.

I'll state up front that "looks" are subjective...so everyone has their own point of view. We do fall into the same boat about the e38...until the f06 there wasn't a 4 door BMW sedan that would make me pause to take a real good look.

I was sad to see the end of the f06/f12/f13 6 series because the 8 series vert & coupe (G14/G15) are okay...but they don't make me "pine" for one. But the recent release pics of the 8GC (G16?)...aren't that bad. I like the roofline of the GC much better than the 2dr coupe. I do miss the Hofmeister kink, though...not sure why the BMW designers are dropping it.

I do wonder what it will look like "in the flesh".

It appears that the 8GC may have (at least one of them) sunroof panels that will open instead of just tilt.

The new 8 does not wow me either. Like the designers said,"well, we need to make this look different than a 6, so let's just put some sharp angles and corners on it." In person that shelf in the rear bumper below the license plate seems huge. It will be covered in dirt and grit after a mile.

We used to call that a “Rick James”.

“....long and black and shiny....”

I did not PPF it - yet. The body shop, Beverly Coachcraft, which did an excellent job, btw, was a bit iffy on whether or not to do it, but told me to give the paint a couple of weeks before applying PPF if I wanted to go with it.
