BMW 6-Series Coupe (2004 - 2010) 645Ci 2d Auto (2004/04) Owner Review

Who cares, I love it. Successful and discrete if you have to ask.

£16,500

When did you buy the car?

July 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

No such thing as a good deal. Screen price was low but so was my part exchange.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Great value for money, looks great and marvellous engineering.

What was the dealer like?

Ok, wouldn't buy a prestige car from them again however have visited the local BMW dealership and their efficiency is outstanding.

What's it like to drive?

Superb. Just part ex'd a porsche carrera 2 for this and I'm not disappointed. Searing acceleration, direct handling especially in sport mode, pretty smooth ride considering 19" run flats. Of the 43 cars I've owned this is the best all rounder yet. Great car.

What's it like to park?

Easy with front and rear parking sensors and iDrive, just watch those alloys on kerbs though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No not yet

What's most practical about your car?

You don't buy one of these for practicality. You buy it for speed, build, performance and sheer driving enjoyment and it meets all those requirements brilliantly. For a 4.6litre V8 I can get 30 mpg on a leisurely run on the motorway. Hammer the accelerator though and you'll be seeing 15mpg.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The sat nave on idrive is slick and the headlights could light a football match.
