Hello, I’ve been fluctuating for a long time between a used Porsche Panamera and a BMW 6’er. But the initial purchase prices at a Panamera are easily 10,000€ higher (with the same year of construction and mileage output). In addition, higher spare parts prices etc. So I ended up at 6’er again and prefers to be a convertible. For cost reasons I would probably want to take a 640i (320 hp) from Bj 2012 or 2013. But you can also find a a very decent 650i for hardly any more money. Now my question: From the 650i with 408hp I am always strongly advised not to. Many say that one can almost be sure to get an engine damage. The engine is probably mega sensitive. To this one also finds many (negative) contributions in the net. Can someone tell me what it looks like with the 449hp engine? Is actually also the N63? Does the engine have such a reputation?

My new, used 640i GT xDrive
Hello 6er gt Fans, today I picked him up from the used car dealer, my „new” 640i gt xdrive Bj. 2019 in almost complete full equipment, incl. Executive-Drive, IAL, climate 4x, sihz v and rear, heater, drive & Park-Assis all plus. 2019 last year with Executive Drive. M-package. First hand, accident- and repainting-free. Previous owner of a woman with an academic title, probably without racing license A, I start from (hahaha). In the pre-Christmas On Friday evenings, I am so “co-worshiped”, between 50 and 100 km/h on the highway. I only had to gently “touch” the accelerator pedal every few seconds. I had had no one left in front of me for a short moment and the accelerator pedal just pressed a little more and I was already on 140. The car sprints unscathed and completely unspectacular and you don’t notice it and chase away in the truest of the word. My ex-M2 made b a much more Radau action, you noticed that it’s going on now. You had the correlation between acceleration and noise development. Quite different with the 640i, when it accelerates, you don’t even notice. That happened to me once with a 540i on a test drive with the same engine. On the AB I was at 10o km/h in the operation of the infotainment system so much deepened, that I was suddenly and completely unnoticed with “medium” gas giving at 170 km/h. Allowed were 120 kmh, then it had flashed. 1 month driving ban. Further follows Munter stay

Different summer & winter tire dimensions – Does the F06 adapt automatically?
I am currently driving a BMW F06 650i xDrive 4.4L with the following winter wheels: Rims: 4 x Original BMW 8.5×19 EH2+ ET 25 (VA + HA identical) Tires: 4 x Dunlop Winter sports 5 255/40 R19 100V XL (VA + HA identical) I want to get the summer rims and tyres now, but I’m not sure if you’re with the current car settings ( suspensions, tachoeichung etc.): Rims (VA): 2 x Original BMW 703M 8.5×20 ET 33 Rims (HA): 2 x Original BMW 703M 9×20 ET 44 Tires (VA): 2 x Summer tire Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT* RSC 245/35 R20 95Y Tyres (HA): 2 x Summer tire Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT* RSC 275/30 R20 97Y BMW recommends this summer wheel constellation for my specific car. My question now is whether the F06 recognizes that other, but also approved, wheels are installed and automatically adapts to these new wheels, or if there are problems, which should mean that you have to make additional adjustments on the car (adjust suspensions, tacho The “wheel size calculator” shows the following differences with regard to the VA tyres/wheels combinations:https://www.wheel-size.com/…/?… Among other things, the side wall height changes with respect to the front tyre by 16%, the circumference decreases by 1% and the weight increases by 0.6 KG.https://www.wheel-size.com/…/?… In the rear axle the values are a bit different again. *Bonus question: BMW officially recommends the star The Dunlop SP SportMaxx GT is the only one that can be considered. Would I be so much worse off with a Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric F6? The SportMaxx does even worse in tests than the cheaper Eagle, yet there is no star from BMW…

Gear failure
Hello everybody, I bought a 645 Ci convertible a week ago. Just coming back from a Black Forest tour, almost 2000 kilometers, while the wahen swallowed itself up a little bit while accelerating, so it was extremely ruckle. A very slight jerking also occurred when cruising from time to time. On the highway the car finally reported after swallowing again “gear disturbance”, but he did not switch to emergency operation yet. After ignition was off/one the Fe Okay, I’ll have the FS read out, of course, but maybe someone can help me with some information before I get to the seller… what could that be? What do I have to reckon with? Thank you very much for your help… Greetings – Tom

I’m looking for a 650i E63/64 design that avoids engine and transmission problems
Hello dear forum, I just bought a 2010 BMW 650i Cabriolet with 45,000 km. It’s my second e64/63 650, after I had one 6 years and tried several other V8 GTs. Now I know that the e63/64 650 is the one. I am neither an experienced car mechanic nor a do-it-yourselfer, but as far as I understand Timm-s repair & information and others, everything is about preventive maintenance. I want to keep this car forever, so I’m ready I drive it about 5,000 km a year in the dry area around Athens, safely stored in a garage. Can anyone support me here with a detailed maintenance plan, which is regular, after what time or mileage is to be done, even if no fault or failure has occurred so far? Very welcome would be a comprehensive maintenance proposal with precise designation of liquids, seals and other Spare parts that I can pass on as a specification to the workshop of my trust. I have learned that the BMW plan is not enough, for example with the mechatronic transmission. Thank you for your support!

Engine noise cause (645Ci)?
Hello friends, I noticed a rattling noise coming from the area of the front lid Bank 1 or the throttle flap. Whenever the engine runs under the idle speed, this noise becomes louder, e.g. when starting up or when you open the oil cover and the speed drops for a short time. But even in idle one hears a slight polter. At higher speeds the noise disappears. I thought first, it would be the ZMS, which ratters when starting but it clearly comes out Bank 1 in front. I think it has something to do with the idle control. It sounds like ratters, surren as if something is loose. I recorded it:https://youtu.be/Vypz6VUoHtM car is 645ci from 2004 , switch, 180 tkm. Since I will soon open the valve covers, I might want to exchange the causer. What could that be? Vacuum pump , vanos, chain ? Does anyone have an idea? Greetings,Martin

Purchase advice Gasoline 5 Series or 6 Series
Hey people I don’t know if the question has already come up or it tells me please. So I’m looking for a 640i or a 530i. My problem is the following. I’ve always driven diesel until now until suddenly a weak petroler. Now it makes me itchy for a petroler with power so from about 250hp up to max 320hp. Due to my daily work distance of not quite 100km a diesel would be of advantage by the consumption. And here lies d he point. I am very spoiled by the diesel from the consumption and therefore where are you fie consumptions in normal driving mode and to what would you guess outside of these two vehicles? Thanks already for your help. MFG StefanpConsumption very spoiled and

Suspicion of a defective articulated disc (hardy disk) F12 650i, question of service costs
Hello, ride for quite some time a 650i LCI f12. Unfortunately only problems. The first defect occurred at approx. 10,000km It was performed once repair kit inlay nut. The second defect then occurred at 12,000km. Very loud scratching in the high sound loudspeaker Bang&Olufsen High End The third defect then occurred at 20,000km. Aktor HSR had a defect (back axle steering) Now the car comes back into the workshop at 24,000km suspicion on joint disc (see video below.) Depending on the speed, you can hear a change in the sound. There is already a PuMA measure 35464351, unfortunately I don’t know what the meaning is! Now my question is what this may be about is the defect and if it might be something else! Another question about the Great Service: According to my dealer, it should cost about 2,000euro! I fell on my ass when I heard that The X6 or the 4s both cost no more than 500-700Euro! Is the price ok?

BMW M6, F12, brake pads and discs VA renew
Hello together, would have a question: What kind of pads and brake discs would you recommend for the above vehicle? Is the “normal” version with 560 hp. With the current pads I noticed that they make the rims very quickly “dirty” or dusty. Are I still thinking the first (80tsd km) or the second pads. In the spring I will probably completely renew the front brakes. BMW meant those are overdue. Must be slightly smiled, because I then have around itself r to go the wheels dismantled and found that there is still about 10 mm covering. Safety is important to me, but that is still enough thick? In the spring I will check the brakes again despite everything. Maybe the good man with the friendly also meant the brake discs. because my car TÜV has new I think they are also still in order. What do you mean? Take off? Or I have to be more careful. And if yes, what kind of cheiben / coverings should I take? Do you have good references ellen? Does not want any “no name” products. Greetings, Jonas
