Better looking than the 5 series but too much cash for too little car IMO. It is M5 pricing without M power. They want the same cash for that as an E55?? I don't get it. How much is the M6 gonna be?
I have already seen 4 on the street. They look good, you cant confuse it for a Z4 or any other Bimmer. Like getbit I think the pricing may be too high, it was targeted as a mid 40's car.
For some reason I have always preferred BMW to Mercedes and this car has just about everything I'd want in a long-term (at least 3 years) daily driver. Gotta see one in black.
I do like the 540's for a getting around car; but felt the price was too high. The three or four times I did go to the BMW dealer to see about getting one I was turned off by the salespeople - maybe its this area, but they almost throw you out when you want to haggle on the price. I guess they sell enough at list that they wont even consider an offer of less.
Cherm I just bugged out when I went to see those pictures of BMW. That club and highway view is about 1 mile away from my house in Greece.I looked at the water shot and said wow that looks like Greece.Then I went to the other picture where it says club and I was like holy shit it is Greece.Anyway car looks ugly, bring back the old M6 style and then willl talk
i test drove one yesterday. that car is really bad ass but i am not spending 10grand over sticker for it. and they want 20 grand over sticker for the conv here.
That car is mighty pricey. Its MB competitor the CLK500, goes for about $10K less and out performs the 645 in almost every category, including slalom, which is supposed to be BMW's forte.
I thought it was aiming at the CL-class? I know that they are slightly mroe pricey, but that is MB's two door four seater "touring" car, right? In anycase, They dont appeal to me, I dont particularly like the whole new BMW line up. The 7 is ok, I hate the 5's new face and I am beginning to wonder what they will do to the 3?
Anyone hear about the V-10 they are dropping into the new M5? Maybe if you could opt for that engine in the 6 it would be better, but I still wouldnt buy it.

Sorry Smoke I gotta disagree, I test drove the 645, S500 and the Audi A8 on the track and the 645 was the best handling car there with the S500 2nd and the A8 3rd. This was on an autocross track.
He said the CLK500 outperforms it...not the S-Class. The S500 and A8's are full sized boats. The CLK is a coupe, like the 6 series and it's natural competitor. It is not fair to judge apples to oranges....or in this case, sport coupes to boats.

Hey Ron it was the 745. Unless you went to a different event.
