Would you swap a 2009 MCS for a 2005 645i convertible?
Discussion
Bit of a 'how long's a piece of string' kind of thread, but I've been offered a swap of sorts with a bit of cash (£1-2k - still working that bit out)the BMWs way for my Mini Cooper S.
The Mini's very much a second car with a great spec and including handsfree bluetooth, USB port for music, sat nav, auto lights and wipers, heated screen, xenon lights, full piped leather, aero bodykit etc.
I do hardly any miles so MPG not an issue. Just fancy a change for something completely different.
Should I jump at it? Silly swap? Would I miss the fun of the Mini?

The the 6 series....
The way things are going with emissions, fuel economy and petrol prices large engined cars will get rarer with them dying out. To have the chance to have a V8 for a few years now will be great. In 10 years a small 1.6 supercharged engine will still be around in the grasp of a lot of people. In 10 years time will you have the chance or means to run a big V8?
Even if the car is 10 years old it is still an amazing car and one I would rather spend my time in than many many newer cars.

Every time you get into the 6 and press the starter button will be a sense of occasion and will feel special.
While the Mini is a good competent car and fun it's not in the same league as the 6.
Of course it's all personal opinion but having driven them both for quite a while the 6 far more desirable for me.

I know the owner very well as a friend and we used to work together,
as for working it out, a guess which turned lucky going on your location and the BMW's
the owner of the 645 wants a mini, she used to have one.
that BMW is a very nice car and has been well looked after, I have driven it and it ticks all my boxes, if I had the folding I would get it for myself.
i would have no problem recomending the car, its quality or the owner to anyone, who ever get the car will be in a classy well cared for car
