Great post guys, I "Stage 1'd" my old 2012 640d at 40k and sold it at 95k and was still going strong, no issues, gonna do the same again to my new 2017 GC also at 40k!
Hi mate hope you reply, literally in 2 minds of a 640d and 140i, leaning towards the 640d for the looks and luxury but people say they are numb and dull to drive
After having both quite well versed here… the 140i is like a stabbed rat and feels unplanted in corners. It’s definitely overpowered on standard chassis. The 640d obviously doesn’t feel as quick but I wouldn’t describe as numb and dull at all!
Thanks for your reply, really liking the content recently. If you don't mind, list a few pros and cons of each and which one you would choose as a daily/ fun car. Cheers
few and far between in red! lots of the dull colours but they all hide dirt better I suppose! definitely remove the swirl flaps, if they fail they get injested into the engine and can create issues! £££
Incorrect these are the plastic flaps not the same as the older metal ones that destroy engines. The switch does stick intermittently after a while and puts into limp now and then, so I'd advise removing. Dpf is the best move to go with stage 1
currently celtic tuning stage 1 640d. trying to stop myself going NVM stage 2. downpipe - intercooler - remap. quoted around £1700. should be 400 hp and 750nm+. hmmmmm
Haha gets expensive quick right? I think you’ll always be chasing the numbers though and put other bits under strain. At what point do you stop and buy an M6 😂

Great cars aren’t they! The GC hasn’t aged badly at all ❤️
Perfect timing. About to go view a 640d in an hour 😆😆
You’ll love it! ❤
I have had the 640d for year and a half black a head turner, I would say pound for pound best value high end car you can buy. Red looks great.
Great value aren’t they! Oooh black, had a few black cars, great when they’re clean! 🧼
@@mrmotors_uk It gets a daily wipe down. I do find with a car like this it benefits switching the tyres between winter and summer ones.
Yeah the back end does love a good slide otherwise! You in the UK?

Hiya mate, how much did you pay for the remap? Has it had any impact to your mpg?
Speak to CL Autos buddy in regards to cost buddy. Definitely better on fuel now. Previously I’d be 36-40 mpg on a drive, now 40-44 minimum!
I want that colour. I just picked up a 640d GC and it's amazing... I have. Even trying to find out about the swirl flaps etc... Are they worth doing??

@@kalicok1 gotcha! Wasn’t 100% sure but regardless they’re not there anymore 😂
Collect mine tomorrow in red too. What baby seat you got in the back mate? Trying to figure out what seat will give decent front space. Cheers
There’s bags of leg room regardless man! It’s a Doona so quite big! Another red owner 👋
Cheers mate 👍
I use the cybex cloud i size, amazing because it rotates to put baby in and out, thank me later
How you getting on with it pal?
@@mrmotors_uk loving it mate. Have lots of plans for her but very happy with it so far 😄

Fully standard 👀
There go the bearings..n57 twin turbo bottom end feeders even when serviced at 7k intervals. Ask me how i know.

Hi, is this post remap
Issue?
What are the cost to
Fix
@mrmotors_uk remap or not they all go in the end..£6.5k for a high quality rebuild.
@@Driver2397 and the end is at what mileage. Also is this the price at the bmw dealer or private garage.
@@Driver2397 ?? End is what in miles brother
Doesn't this car do 0-60 in 5.4 secs stock?!?!
Ayee it was doing 5.7 on dragy, the inlet manifold was full of crud, and not ideal drag conditions so there or there abouts

Can you actually drive in the UK without a camera catching you ,,,,🤷♂️
So far so good! There are areas much worse than others though
