In 650i format rather than your normal 640d. smile

Only managed to add a Vorstiener (spelling!) rear spoiler so far. Looking at H&R springs next week although they are a PITA to fit as I have the normal options for driving and then also the dynamic drive which stops roll in corners when in sport mode.

Good choice!

I've got a boring 640d but chipped to 370-380bhp so it a bit better but I certainly miss the V8 of my C63.

More pics please smile

I did drive a 640d grand coupe just to try the car shape out and I was very impressed by the Massey under the hood I have to say. It even sounded half decent on throttle.
I am however toying with letting it go cheap and getting an M6.....rather than messing about with a perfect setup.... confused

The M6 will be a stunning bit of kit I would imagine but whatever you do you still end up with a cracking motor I reckon.

The 650i is just so rare and I have never seen one, I haven't seen many M6`s though either!

Nope it's the first variant but TBH I doubt they vary that much as the difference is in the inlet method when you read up. Same upgrade on the M6 variant give 5 official HP so the 650 info is marketing bks IMHO.

Probably mainly mapping..

Although from what I've read 500hp is achievable (if it's your thing) maybe the same final figures for either version.

Either way, good choice.

Yes from what I've read they both end up with the same. DMS are on the case so will post up a dyno result tomorrow. smile
