Hi guys,
Fair enough. Still looking to be honest. Opinions on these please?;

Favourite - Dynamic drive, sports seats, heated seats, good sat nav, the colour I want
Bad points, no logic 7
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/04-BMW-645CI-COUPE-AUTO-DYNA...

Number 2 - Looks a nice car, miles a little high considering the price, no dynamic drive or widescreen but looks good condition

http://www.theinternetcarshowroom.com/detail.asp?I...

Number 3 - Nice spec, good price, but no mileage so probably high...

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2010...
IMHO..

On face value (if the adverts are accurate) then easily number 1. Don't worry too much about the hi-fi, the standard setup ain't too bad after playing with the tone controls a little.

No2 has 18" wheels which look lost on the 6, no nav and >60k. And some BS about an extra £145 'admin fee'.

No3 as said above, no miles stated. Obviously trying to gloss over the moon miles - what else has not been mentioned?

I'd say the same. On face value the first car looks the best option from those three.

I actually considered number 1 just before Christmas when it was priced at £19,995. There wasn't much movement (if any) on the price, so it's intersting to see it dropped by £2,000 since then. Maybe it's becoming a buyers' market?
Lovely car, and of the 3 it would be my choice


Good luck

A dms remap also gets your power and torque numbers up to that of the 650(althought he 650 when remapped jumps another 30 or so too wink )

When I come to replace my 645 i'll probably get a 650. That or a maserati gransport.

Mine has now done 84k and I cant fault it. last week with the volcano disruption I drove from Glasgow - Luton(dropped car in long stay and got the train into London), just over 5 hours, 364 miles, 30.3 mpg for the trip. Same for the return trip on the Friday night. Got out at each end feeling fine, really is a great GT car.

I've had a google for any reviews (or even mentions) of the DMS map for the 650 but without success. Any links or comments on it? Even DMS don't have much on their site.

When I first got the 645 I called them up to ask what gains there would be, the 645 went to almost the exact numbers as the stock 650. I asked about the 650 for interest and torque and hp were both just below the 400 mark iirc.

Will have to try and speak to them then. 30hp sounds a lot!
