BMW 640d Long term ownership honest road review 

First. I try in english as best as i can. Nice review. I have a 640D carbon black m-pack and with all of the options almost and the beautiful Bower and wilkinson system. A real earwurm and eyecatcher in the car and also from outside. A black frontgrill is also a beautiful upgrade to do. I lowered the car with ac schniter springset, a difference in drive and looks. I have the car now 5 years and i am still in love with the car. I still adore to drive this car and i am still excited. The beautiful thing is that the car is still today an eyecatcher in the streets, people are still looking at this car, more then a normal 911 porsche or many other cars. My car is most of the times also shiny, i never go to a car wash, but i do it myself. I have also a beautiful exhaust sytem that sounds fantastic. Done by specialists in Belgium. Unbelievable what those guys can do. Many M4 or porsche drivers gave me already copmliments about it. This car could be a classic in 10-15 years. The succeder is the 8 series. And i will buy sucgh one normally as next car. But i am not in a hurry, because this 6 serie still looks awesome and up to date. The 8 series is to early. The 6 could easy doing another 2 years. Still awesome in every way.

02/07/2019 - I'm picking up a 2014 640d M Sport with 38k on the clock tomorrow. Your video talked about every reason that persuaded me to commit and buy one. Good job.

I’ve got a 640d convertible love car enjoyed the video as well

Great video. I have the 640d gran coupe. That does have folding seats and is quite practical, considering that it's a six series. I also opted for the eibach springs. Mine originally had 19s on. So I've put the m5 20 inch 343m wheels on. They fit great. But I did have to change the tyres. Best car all round for me. Ticks all the boxes and puts a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing yours. 👍

Great video, lots of interesting insights!! Love one, got 2 kids!!

I have an 2010 F11 530d, have been wanting to replace it for years but been unable to find anything i would replace it with. I do now however have an itch for these, they look staggering value if i can get 16 or 17 plate fully specced with M Sport Plus etc. Starting to see them at £20k. Really helpful video, thanks.

Gran coupe would suit a car mad dad more

These cars lose a ton of money so picking up a 4 year old is a good buy as you get alot of car for the money plus there a good cars, economical too.

Hi. Just buying my third six series first being an 08. Second was a 17 plate very well specced. Regret selling it so now buying another 17 plate 640d. Great cars. What colour is yours ?

Is there any rubbing or scraping from the set up you got ?? Spacers and lowering springs

What do you recon now you can pick these up for 20k? Never considered a diesel but my mileage has quadrupled and they seem to be super cheap with everyone worried about ulez.

Cool video! I've been looking for a 640d GranCoupe for quite some time now, but since it's rather unusual (you don't really see them everyday) I've not seen much info on the reliability, so... Is it reliable? Greetings from Czech Republic!

Are the back seats smaller than the 2 and 4 to make the boot and front cabin bigger? I can't get my head around how a 4.9m long car has so little rear seat space

Did you change the run flats too?

Apart from the mileage, would you prefer the 640i or d?

Good videos, helped me decide to buy pretty much the same car. Did the wheel spaces affect the ride at all in either a positive or negative way? Im thinking of getting them for mine, its standard apart from an OEM M6 grille.

How does one afford a young 640d and an M2

Are the back seats usable?

I'm looking at getting myself one as i'm currently doing 70/80 miles per day... is there any common faults with these cars? 640d coupe to be precise

You sound quality is terrible

More 640d content needed! No word of a lie your videos had a large part to play in me purchasing one myself! Safe driving

I have the gran coupe 640D Msport (Plus, so heads up, harmon kardon, 20inch wheels, plus variable damper control so have the Comfort +, surround cameras, which make parking a dream) and back seats go down in mine, however, yesterday i took wife, mum and dad to heathrow (parents holidaying in Sri Lanka!) with 3 suitcases, 4 hand luggage, and managed to fit it all in the car, in the centre had one of the suitcases, but all in comfort on 100mile trip to airport!! and yes it is very capable, bit of a sleeper car if you ask me, as a few merc 500CLS have tried racing me and they have come off worse!!

You made me buy a 640d, very informative video and ill be starting my own channel too!

LCI stands for *Life Cycle Impulse*, not "injection" lol

Picking up a 2015 640D M sport on Saturday...so 9 years old. Looks great - just one wheel refurb and need to repaint the front brake calipers otherwise good. Having had a car with run flats before it transforms the ride by ditching them for good quality std tyres. I guess you can buy a get-you-home spare wheel and store it in the large boot?

I have a carbon black 2012 640D. I’ve had it 6 years now and bought it when it had 19,000 miles. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. I’ve now done 145k in mileage and still to this day I’ve never had to pay for any repairs, it’s simply bullet proof. However a sad day looms, I love the car, but I’m also a family man and my youngest daughter who is approaching 5, her legs are getting longer and it’s becoming uncomfortable when I’ve got the kids with me. I’m looking to maybe part-ex for a white X5 M sport with black alloys, it looks nice and is well equipped, but I’m not really looking forward to giving up this beautiful car for a dad car.

Been looking forward to this. Liking the editing style. Cheers

I watched the first few minutes of this but had to move on as the sound is so poor. Speak up or buy a mic.

Really really think i want one of these to replace my current mix of E46 M3 (weekend) & E46 330i (daily). And have one of these as an all rounder. Has to be in white tho 😍

Just bought a 2014 640 M Sport....and I love it! I was a die hard Merc Fan but I fancied a change. And I'm glad I did! 😊

Great Video, there aren't really a lot of 640d reviews on RU-vid. Hoping get some more from you regarding comfort, costs May I ask you how old you are? I'm Considering to purchase a 640d (2017) as a Gran Coupe but not sure if I am too young for this car (near 27 years old). The main reason for this car are my long runs (driving around 20-25k per year) and i think this is defently a great car for long runs on the motorway. Are you still driving with 43 mpg? Greetings from Switzerland.

What ABOUT THE POTHOLES!

Im torn between 6 series grand coupe and audi A7

I really want to get this car but I drive locally alot. Is it risky getting it in this scenario in terms of dpf etc?

I read the comments regarding the sound..from watching your first video at the infancy of your channel, your on a complete learning curve. I'm enjoying watching how your videos evolve. Do love your 'B' roll music pieces. Very classy. Looking forward to watching your other videos. It's a content journey I'm enjoying and I'm so glad that I found your channel completely by accident to be fair via browsing on Ctrl&shift for petrol ped merchandise. Just had to head over and search for your channel. Stay well and you and your family stay safe. Again love your honesty through your reviews.

What’s the service, tire and basic maintaining cost like for this car roughly?

I love the 6 coupe i really do BUT I have an E36 325i Coupe , Big boot, back seats fold down AND im 5.8 and I can sit comfortably behind myself , SO how did they make a much Bigger car and lose half the practicality ? AND The E36 has a Full size spare wheel , Oh Perfection from 30 years ago

Did you not mention the year of this car??? 🤨🧐

How are these for tyre wear? Is it worth getting one with a sunroof? Lovely looking cars

A friend put a engine 4.0 diesel out of one these in a 2003 compact e46 it trys to wheely lift front on 235/45/17s on rear bin told it's as fast as a gtr be intresting completed next to one of these

Good video, keep it up You come across like a pro journalist

Sound.

Are these twin turbo or twin scroll single turbo ?

Re your comment about the rear seats not folding down - could this be an option? I understand it is on the 5 series saloon of the same year?

Which camera you use to shoot

I’m considering getting the springs for my 640d which is on 20” wheels. Do they really improve the ride comfort?

Considering one but unsure.

How can a diesel engine sound and smell match with such a nice and sporty design

Any engine failures ?

It's 313bhp not 330bhp mind.

did i hear this right ? life cycle injection ? :))))))))

Currently own a f30 3 series 320D looking at these because they seem really good value.my only concern is maintenance costs and parts

Get a microphone, so much background noise it's not funny.

Nice video. What is the intention for the channel charity wise? I would be quite interested in doing a video for you guys.

How do you check if it has adaptive suspension

For me this car not having rear folding seats was a deal breaker. What ! Single men don't shop at IKEA !!

Nice review , i plan to buy similar to travel from Czech republic to Germany (900km) on a weekly basis , compared to Mercedes 320CDI, Audi A6 or A8 and Jaguar 3.0 D , what do you think ?

Great video, great info. You should do smth about the sound, was hard to hear you out. Thanks.

Could you do a video on maintenance over this period of time and any associated costs?

Can this car fit a child seat in back?

Good video

02:09 start

I own the grand coupe 640d and i get 20-24 miles / gallon i dont know if thats right because i have it in l/100 km and i get 11.8 l/100 km

“Life cycle injection” like that one. Great honest review 👍🏻

Why would you choose a 6 over, say a 3 or 4 series coupe?

Well done

there is 1 turbo just 2 different parts to it. not 2

If it is a 2016 why is it on an 11 plate?

I bought a new 640d convertible three years ago when I upgraded from a 2011 320d convertible. Put a huge smile on my face from the moment I first drove it. It’s a fantastic GT car and I’ve driven it up on down the country several times. Select eco pro mode and it’ll much up the miles all day long and return a healthy mpg. I drive up the A59 to Harrogate quite often, usually with the roof down, weather permitting, and it’s brilliant on those twist country roads. Slip it into Sport mode and it’ll overtake lines of lorries effortlessly with no drama. The acceleration is awesome for a diesel and delivers all the power I’m ever gonna need. Yes there are more powerful cars out there and yes, there are more economical cars out there, but as a package of power verses economy, there’s nothing out there to beat that 3 litre Diesel engine. It’s a big car but the surround cameras make parking a breeze. Yes the back seats aren’t very practical but I drove 4 people from Lancashire to the Isle of Wight in relative comfort but you don’t buy a 4 seater convertible for practicality. The boot is very spacious, even with the roof down, as some convertibles only have a boot for somewhere to store the roof, but you can actually get suite cases in it. On the whole I’ve had three enjoyable years with my 640d and apart from a replacement roof sensor which was swapped under warranty, the car has had no reliability issues whatsoever. The biggest running expense has been replacing the 20 inch run flat tyres at roughly £300 a corner and it seems to go through quite a lot, although that could be down to my enthusiastic driving 😊. I’ve had no regrets buying the car, even though it has depreciated quite badly, but if you want a car that holds its value look elsewhere and if you’re looking for an investment then buy a house. If you want a big GT that’s fun to drive and practical for everyday life, this is the car for you.

SOUND !!!!

Looking at this between the 350 AMG sport. Waiting till i drive the BMW to decide, only bias is the back seats on a 350 are fine to fit in, but i dont care about passengers.

gave up trying to listen. managed to complain about the engineering i think, but you can't get the sound right > Massive Fail.

I've come across the 6 when researching getting 435d and opting out of company car scheme and getting something second hand... Very tempted to stretch to one of these... The finish inside and looks are amazing... Going to be doing some long motorway runs.. And about 20 to 25k miles a year.... Running costs were the thing scaring me..
