Hey guys, I am looking at picking up a 6 series. I have been doing my research, but wanted to see if any current S owners had experience with a 6; more specifically the 650. I know the S and 650 are very different cars, but what differences (pro/con) were most noticeable to you? Any reliability issues?

thanks in advance!

 

I've driven the drop head 6 series... very nice cars... but I wasn't impressed by it for the price. For the same money you can get a newer M5. thats just me though.

 

I'm not impressed with them as sports cars, but they are nice GT cars. You're talking about something that weighs half a ton more than the S and has barely more room. I'd also say M5 or M3 convertible are better options.

 

Thanks guys. Although I still love the S, and will likely be keeping it for a while, the stiff ride and noise are starting to get to me... especially since it is my daily driver. I am also looking for a little more exclusivity. A GT car what i'm looking for as I'm not quite ready to buy a sedan yet. I'm guessing there aren't many 6er owners on this forum.

 

SL55 AMG?

 

I was looking at CPO 6ers... I'll need to make some more money in order to afford the AMG SL

 

they are the same price range or even cheaper than the 650..

 

hmm i found some sl500s in the same price range, no local amg in the range ones... thanks for the tip. I like both, the sl being more of a classic design whereas the 6 is a little more modern. lookin for cars is fun and frustrating at the same time.

 

I'd go for an Audi S5 instead, personally. The BMW looks like a beached whale.
