2012 BMW 640i: Conspicuous Consumption! Real World Review and Test Drive!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- I'll openly admit that this is an abnormal test drive, we don't even have a BMW dealer here in town. But that just made it all the more sweet. Check out this 2012 640i and see what its like to have a personal sports coupe...on 22" rims!
As always, I try to present a real world, honest and most of all, unscripted review that you can relate to.

Just found this review! Enjoyed watching it. I bought a 640i a couple of weeks ago and I love it.
640d >>> 640i
@@toniblanko3176 640i greater my friend, forget about your fuel economy you cheap skate.
@@Anythingyoulike2013 fuel economy isn't the issue . . the 640d is a better engine
Just bought a 2015 640i M-Sport Gran Coupe in Alpine White last weekend. I was actually looking at the 440i but once I saw and drove the 6 I was HOOKED!! Beautiful car that does everything right....Love It!!
Just bought a gorgeous red one. Had the standard leak from the oil filter housing (common across the range apparently) but all fixed now. Waiting for delivery. Wife was NOT happy! Damn sexy car. Good review 👍.
Wives often are not happy with their men choices s car 😅
Can't afford... but sweet ride. Those wheels would come off the moment it got home.

Really hate those rims too. Some nice black 20" M rims would look much much better and doesn't make it look cheap like these aftermarket rims.
rubenve79 your crazy those wheels make the car look crazy
I’m glad im not the only one. Dont make the car ugly please its a classy car
Right on got the convertible version 🏎🏎😁🏎
I love my 05 645ci. Same rims but 19" and in Bronze. Gray ext. Black int. You're 100% correct. I get looks and compliments where ever I go. HUGE SMILE. :D. Though I had to fix the common issues that come with the motor to the tune of $3500 shortly AFTER the purchase I would still recommend this beastly beauty. I'm an Emergency Room Nurse and really do not have the budget to get a 2015 6 Series and 05 is very reasonable. When I pull up with the top down even the doctors think I'm a doctor. Hahahaha. Thanks for makimg this video!
Frank Maggio I also have a convertible 05 645 and this body style will never lose its looks and your right I get compliments and turn heads every where I go
What are the common engine problems that you're talking about?
Where'd you get the wheels? Looking to get them in the 22s. Thanks in advance
@@sampcyn Ebay. But now str racing 607's are $2k.,I got a smoking deal for $730 for the 19s back in 2017
I’m driving the 08 LCI version. My god what a car! A lot of people beat on the design but the car looks so great in person! And the way it steers? I’ve tried a 335i e92 before this and while the e92 was great, the balance of this car is just on a different level!
We have a 2014 640i Gran Coupe and it's a very nice car, for about $33k (bought Sept 2018). The only Con is that the back seats are non existent if you're taller than 5'9".
Love the car.. Thanks for this.. I'm going to buy one.. Could not decide between the convertible and the coupe.. But I will buy this.. Thanks
yeah right son goku :)
First video I've come across from this guy, already like it more than any car reviewer I've seen thus far.
Well done review. I'm in the market for a late model preowned luxe / driver's car that's super comfortable ... and holds the road like glue... and a car that LIKES to be spanked when I'm in the mood.
I've been looking at all the top car reviewers and your review on this BMW is right up there. One side note: make sure the dealer's logo who gave you the car, get's some prominent attention along with their web address and a cool shot of theit inventory as well... You'll get many more dealers willing to give you their cars to test. And then we viewers get to see a bigger range of cars!
+Hal Hansen thanks for the insights! Appreciate it.

Good to know I’m not the only one who thinks there’s an “Aston Martin” flair there
25% of the weight is on each wheel .thats why the ride is so damm good.
Love this car! Im a girl and I have one the 640I msport coupe for a v-6 this thing is a beast. I have the 2016 and Im inlove from the looks of the car to driving it especially in sports mode
SuperKitten1982 I'm sure it's a inline 6
SuperKitten1982 No V6! 630i straight six, 640i V8.
640i is six inline, 650 is V8 (630i is the privious model)
and that was an inline 6 as well, BMW have never made a V6
Wow awesome Video. I purchased one 5 days ago. Very nice car!!!!!!
Hahaha that “WHOO! the seats!” Great review! Subbed!,
truely a dreamcar
hope somewhen in the future i'll be able to afford one!
this car is not a 4 litre v8, its 3 litre twin scroll turbo, and its 0-100 is 5.4 seconds
Love the car. Great review!
640 as in zero,,not o,,,i coupe,,,,,,great channel!
Is there someone in the passenger seat that you were talking to? If so he must be really short.
A good review indeed!
hei Greg what is the exterior colour of the car. you forgot to mention that
Damn gorgeous car
Great video.
💪🏿🖤💪🏿
22” wheels look like HAMMERED DOG SHIT on that car!
You can't equate the quality of a ford mustang against a top beemer
It's 0-60 is in the middle of the 5 second range, not 4.
+mkelebay Yeah, I couldn't test it accurately. C&D estimated it a 4.8. BMW says 5.5, but I think its quicker than that.
thanks for watching and chiming in!

+Gallup Journey Test Drives Another good review though, keep it up!
temp2006 Nope; it's a mid 5 car. My buddy's Cadillac ATS-V leaves me behind in short order. My 640 is the GC, but similar to the coupe
mkelebay you are right! I had one. It's about 5.3-5.5. My g37s is the same about 5.3 to 5.5. I raced the 12 model my friend,who owns a car lot had it was neck and neck with my g37.
good job greg more fast lol
Those wheels aren’t factory originals and look just dreadful
subjective? (I'm not really an aftermarket wheels person either)
Gallup Journey Test Drives To each his own I guess. No problem with after market wheels as long as they’re proportional
4:45 it is not n55 it is b58 which is better with closed deck design. The same engine in toyota supra
640i coupe owner here, it’s n55 :) the 640i has been around since the 335i, not the same engine as f series 340i and 440i.
@@willsastro5883 oh no. Then, at least n55 has better cooling. İ have seen so many things more important than a car. Health, freedom, youth, mom, etc. Have a nice life. Cheers!
@@willsastro5883 100% Correct! My 2015 640i GC has the N55. I was in the market for a 440i with the B58 but after test driving my 6 I was sold on the N55! It's been a great engine thus far with zero issues to report...👍
How to ruin a gorgeous car....stick stupid 22’ wheels on it 🙄
What's your recommended wheel/wheel size?
After, one turbo, 0-60 under 5 seconds, two wrong data points and i had to stop watching
It's a single twin scroll turbo. Confusing because the the engine cover says "twin power turbo". Its a beast of a motor nonetheless. Don't remember where I found my 0-60 data (not my own) so I can't vouch for it!
So you saying the N55 is twin turbo? N54 is twin turbo
For what this car cost I would much rather buy a used GTR.
***** I agree
Rez GTR is among the long list of hideous Asian cars ... screw that. This BMW is much nicer overall.
Pistols_10 Huh? BMWs are terrible w depreciation
