    Nice to see after all this time your are still putting out content in relating to cars that the average Joe can potentially purchase which is keeping you more relatable to the audience the biggest mistake that most UA-camrs make they come unrelatable As popularity spirals because they start making content with Ferraris and lambos which is unrelatable to your main core viewer base were you always remain grounded in And give a varied selection of cars that the average Joe can buy. Thanks for all the hard work I love the videos

    This 6-series Coupe and the Gran Coupe were some of the best and last good-looking BMWs they made. No idea what they're doing with some of the designs today. Just noticed we didn't get the usual look under the bonnet!

    I changed an M5 Competition for one of these earlier this year as I just couldn't afford to keep it and justify it as a daily drive. I thought I'd be really disappointed but I couldn't be more pleased. These go well, better than I thought. We went down to Italy in it in the summer, averaged 38 mpg, did 600 miles a day when travelling there and back, and it was an absolute dream. I would definitely recommend one of these. They're superb value for money.

    I've seen the drivetrain/powertrain fault come up a lot on cars that haven't been run for a while and it's usually as simple as the battery being a bit tired or undercharged, especially if you only see the fault once or twice. Beautiful car for the money.

    i had a 2009 630, everyone told me not to have one as they are so expensive to maintain and run, but apart from tyres brakes and a couple of suspension rods replaced it never missed a beat for the 6 years i had it. it drank like a fish obviously but i knew that going in. This shape is really pretty, sadly I just don't drive much anymore so i can't justify having one but this looks a great model and someone will be happy at that price.

    Those 6 cylinder twin turbo diesel are such an iconic engine plus you get over 40 mpg.

Great video Matt, your content is always enjoyable.

    Hey Matt you made the car look great! I got a f10 530d based on your 520d review from years ago. Yes in your words I was greedy but so glad I did. I also have that drivetrain fault but it seems to have no issue to the driving of the car. Glad it wasn’t any issue. The 640d gran coupe was definitely on the list but the middle seat is a bit of a joke, hence I want with the 5 series. Quality video as always mate.

    I had a 635d M Sport and a Yeti last year, and after semi retiring, I had to get rid of one. I choose to keep the Yeti because it was cheaper to run and more practical, but had the Beemer been a hatchback, I'd have been tempted to keep that. I've since traded in the Yeti for a 330d Touring X Drive, so impressed by the 6 cylinder engine, and the fact that 4-wheel drive should at least give me a chance in the slippery winter months. I think I've got my grail car now.
    If anyone is sitting on the fence about buying a 6 series diesel I'd say do it, you won't regret it.

    Would definitely recommend! 335d this age are priced more than the GC's and the owner type of the 6 series definitely makes used options way more appealing.
    Only note for people replacing tyres, don't go for Dunlop sp sport max, I had 2 on 7mm that egged on the sidewall when hitting bumps not potholes in the road!
    Poor so switched to eagle f1s.

    I do like the larger BMWs as I feel they offer so much more value for money. In London you really want a petrol 640i and yes I had an earlier 630i cost a fortune in tyres the runflats at the time were far and few between. Sensors in the convertible cost a fortune when they go wrong. With all the prohibitive costs associated with ownership I still loved the six series- I feel it is a car with real presence and like the vid says put a private plate on it and people think you have won the lottery!!! Get one with full service history be picky, check the on board computer as it has condition based servicing intervals as and when the items in green go red.. check the oil regularly as they can burn a little oil in between services and check the wheels for cracks as those alloys can be problematic and leak air….. could go on but like I said when they work, you soon forget about the trauma of ownership… right now they are cheap as the 8 series coupe is the darling of the range. Try and get the M trim if on a budget if. It go for the M6

      Some do yes but Not at this kind of mileage. Very unusual to happen until after 100k (if ever)

    Matt as a BMW owner I believe that car was first owned by BMW as a management car.
    They keep them for a short period and sell them on to the BMW dealer network.
    Hence the reason why it was registered in March 2014 then on to its next owner in October 2014.
    I think this car first started its life at Thorne near Doncaster.

    I googled BMW drivetrain and the fuel pump was mentioned.

    I always change any tyre needing done with 2 new ones on same axle, having different wear on tyres is no good, or is it just me ? Nice car, hope its a winner.
