KyleR Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 We can be 6er brothers! I'll get some pics tomorrow, but I think they're very similar. Yours will have the posh seats and the bigger screen for the iDrive, and probably some carbon too I think? Mine actually doesn't have the carbon, although I wanted it at first, but mine has piano black which I think suits the silverstone leather better as it's a little more classy. I do keep having a wee look on eBay at the carbon trim, though... Quote
KyleR Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I might put a BGW on it, just for sh*ts and giggles. DO IT or... That is friggin' awful! There is a little spoiler that fits the boot, though, it's quite nice and I think it's pre facelift too. Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Very nice Dan . . . Still looks like a parrot 1 Quote

That's neither big or gay enough I might put a BGW on it, just for sh*ts and giggles. DO IT or... That is friggin' awful! There is a little spoiler that fits the boot, though, it's quite nice and I think it's pre facelift too. Goddammit. Dan would've gone for that if you two hadn't alerted him to its rubbishness!!!!

glrnet Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Lovely lump, drab looking car IMHO but the I don't like the looks of BMWs much anyway. Looking forward to see what you do with it though. Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear Quote
Ekona Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Mine actually doesn't have the carbon, although I wanted it at first, but mine has piano black I'm very tempted to paint the inside of mine either piano black or something more interesting, I'm not really sure what though. Lovely lump, drab looking car IMHO but the I don't like the looks of BMWs much anyway. Looking forward to see what you do with it though. Definitely a Marmite car, and definitely the worst colour in the history of the world. Part of me would like to go mental and chuck neon orange wheels on it or even better throw some motorsport decals at it, but aside from the M colour scheme (which would be a huge no-no on an non-M car!), I don't really think there's much else out there. Although BM's pic looks like it could be fun in the real world 1 Quote

Daryl Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Love these,great car for the money, and you even found a manual, great choice. I quite like the fan blade type wheels you can get on these, but M6 wheels are tasty. Interesting to see its not a total barge, which is what i expected. Bet with a few choice mods it will be a decent handler. Any plans for a LSD in it at all? Quote
Ekona Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Nah, doesn't really feel like it needs one really. The long wheelbase helps of course, but I doubt I'll be throwing it around too much as I've the MR2 for that. I very much doubt I'll change the wheels, even though they're fugly Quote
LRF4N Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I didn't know these came with a manual box. Nice buy I was tempted by one a few months back when I bought the e46. Decided to save some cash and go for the cheaper option I quite like the marmite looks but would only have it in black with the chunky 7 spoke wheels Quote
NeilMH Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 These are very tempting for the money Ended up with the XK8 instead but could just as easily have been a 6. Quote
Flex Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 looks like a beast, look out for Sciroccos! Quote
pjf1985 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I like that, its very nice indeed! Whack some new rims on it and jobs a goodun! Quote
Ricey Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Personally......my favourite BMW mate and the only one that would not have made me call you a twerp for buying BMW. 2 Quote
docwra Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Personally......my favourite BMW mate and the only one that would not have made me call you a twerp for buying BMW. Not an M6, 1M, M635CSi, CSL, 850i then? Incredible work finding a manual, now get the exhaust cut off at the manifold and make proper V8 noises. 1 Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Oh, and the first mod has been done already: Well, did you really expect anything else?! Quality, that does look really nice though and a bit of a bargain. Shame about the silver, but you can't have everything! Quote

Sorry I'll rephrase ......the much maligned 6 series is my only acceptable BMW. I just can't get excited by any of the others. It's not about driving them, how they look, how reliable they are, what they do......it's just something genetic that makes me go 'meh' Quote
ed divine Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Like that alot, still a good looking shape,nice choice of tyres too. Quote

Ricey Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Doesn't everyone have a BMW or a Porker?? They're so boring. But that's just it......this one isn't because it looks like it was designed by an 8 year old and has a thumping V8 lump. It's so wrong it makes sense. Quote

Ekona Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Depends on your definition of better, but each to their own as always Quote
