2000 BMW 6 Series - Love it, comfortable, practical
I liked the looks of it, it is sporty, yet a family car, and practical. One thing I did not like is a lot of garages won’t work on it, since it is a BMW. The car’s style is unique, yet stays with the line of styles of BMW. It does not have the generic look of Japanese cars, the BMW is often copied, yet never the same. In the comfort part, it is very comfortable, you feel at ease driving it, yet it feels like a fun car. Is for room, for what I need the car for, it is plenty of room in the trunk, and inside offers lots of legroom and space. The Bmw 525 is as a lot of style and qualities about, it one of them, is they never ever break down if you take care of them and maintain them, and even if you do not, they keep going. Inside the cabin is very quiet, often too quiet, as you can start ... (more)

Inside the cabin is very quiet, often too quiet, as you can start going to sleep. I did not notice any blind spots. It rarely ever goes to the shop, except for regular maintenance. The gas mileage is about average, in my opinion it could be less. The price of maintenance is about average, and for repairs, it does not cost any more than other makes. Performance is as expected from BMW, quick and responsive, both for aggressive driving and cruising around. A very fun car too drive, as it is versatile and a comfortable family car, with the performance of a sports car. Car as a quick response to acceleration, as you step on the accelerator, response is swift and immediate, without you realizing the speed it achieves in such a short amount of time. Breaking and handling is flawless, although at time the rear end feels light, and does slide if driven aggressively. I totally feel safe driving it, and that is why I own BMW’s, they are safety oriented. Always felt in control, even with the rear sliding.
I belong in a BMW 525 club, and we get together once a year, at one of the members homes, and camp out and barbeque, and drive around all in a convoy. We make a 3 day weekend out of the event, it is a lot of fun.

2014 BMW 6 Series - Too Much Car For Even BMW To Handle
At first glance, the BMW 640i Gran Coupe looks like any other car on the road. It's not overly remarkable from outside. Inside, however, lies one of the most feature-rich sedans on the market. Simply put, the car feels like something James Bond should be driving. However, all the bells and whistles in the world can't take away from a sluggish engine that somehow still manages to hit 17 mpg on a good day, while running premium fuel.

Driving through downtown Los Angeles at about 1 in the morning, I pulled up to a stoplight next to a new M3. After a bit of glancing back and forth, we decided to go for it and raced each other through the empty streets. The Gran Coupe held its own for a time.

The 640i Gran Coupe has a beautiful interior, finished in leather and wood. There are more cameras than you'll ever need, including backup, side view and even an infrared front-facing crosswalk camera. The heads-up display projected onto the windshield is extremely handy and shows speed and GPS directions. The display screen is a great asset to the car - simply put, you feel like you are driving the future of cars. I also never knew I needed a heated steering wheel until I drove this car.

Despite boasting a large engine and high horsepower, the Gran Coupe is too heavy to push any serious power. The car features paddle shift which is slow to respond. Even with all of the eco-friendly features, the car still only pulls 17 mpg on premium fuel and conservative driving.

2011 BMW 6 Series - Really good.
The quality was good since I got it used, basically felt like completely new. I paid $30,000 + traded in my old car. The feel of the car was incredible, great quality leather, option to change from sport to luxury mode, and little lights under the driver and passenger side doors for a glowing effect.

Price isn't exactly affordable for everyone, especially if bought new.
