Six appeal - Show us your six!

[jayemm89]

Hi all

My newly acquired 645 should be making an appearance in carpool soon and I was thinking, who on here actually owns a six?

Its definitely a niche car, but how many of us have taken the plunge? As I see it the car needs a very particular type of buyer... one probably more common on PH than most places...

I suppose I'm mostly thinking of the "new" six, but would love to see anyone who has an E24 too - awesome looking cars!

Rather nice, I'd say very nice indeed! Would not mind one of those on the driveway.

I saw an F12 640D the other day in dark grey, looks really sharp and I quite like it.

I just can't get over the massive weight increase of the car over the E63... and I thought the e63 was hefty.

My 6, with winter boots on.

This picture alone has made me reconsider the 6GC. Not that I can even remotely afford one, but still... one day....

Can anyone on here comment on the refinement of the E63 6 series compared the 7?

Ive been in an E63 M6 before but wasn't really concentrating on its refinement

I really want a GT next

Ross, I would have imagined the 7 is considerably plusher than the 6. The six probably rides a little harder than the E60 5, although it has been so long since I've driven a five I can't recall.

However, the 6 is not a terrible ride as standard, on runflats it feels as stiff as my e46 with sport suspension did, but I think if you ditched runflats then it would improve somewhat. It is certainly lightyears ahead of my old 911!

From what I understand, despite being a similar length to the 5, the 6's wheelbase is considerably shorter, which obviously makes it a bit more fun to drive but the cost of a short wheelbase is usually a harsher ride. As a GT car, I cannot really fault it and this thing feels like it is just built to go around Europe - which I cannot wait to do.
