You guys, I'm in love!
One thing: I'd get some DPE concaves for her. That's it. Well, and bring Diesel to the States!

My Ride: BMW E60 530i
I love it! Best looking BMW motor vehicle in my eyes! I liked it at first sight! Sort of like the E60 when I first saw it! Fantastic! Can't wait for the F13 M6!

Stunning combination of colors and wheels. Me like.
Autoblog suggests the 640i might be the best choice ...
We worked this 640i Coupe on the autobahn and on the many squeaky clean and manicured twisting two-lanes southeast of Munich where the low hills start to rumple up toward the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. Here, the 640i's 3.0-liter six with its hardworking twin-scroll turbo and Valvetronic proved to be a great driver according to our right foot, hands on the wheel and the ol' inner ear bone. Bundle its 316 horses (peaking between 5,800 and 6,000 rpm) and the 332 pound-feet of torque (1,300 to 4,500 rpm) with BMW's latest iteration of Driving Dynamics Control, optional Integral Active Steering ($1,750) and active roll stabilization ($2,000), and you've got a recipe for good times. The last 6 Series was absolutely never this polished over the road ? at least not without an M logo on its decklid.

Oh, yeah, I read autoblog.com daily, so I saw that. I think, for 71K base price, it should have some more power though. Like a nice twin-turbo, chipped and tuned version with, say, about 360-375 horses? That's just my thinking. I don't want to spend another 30 grand tuning a 70k+ car. Then again, people are buying up BMWs like hotcakes, so they just charge whatever the hell they feel like... and people are still lining up in droves. Oh well... I digress. The 640i M-sport is definitely a hottie. I just wish my salary grew as fast as BMW's prices...

I went through it with the F10 - when it first came out, I puked. Then I saw in in person and sat inside it, warmed up to it a little. Then I saw an M Sport on the road in Alpine White (my color of preference) - that's when I officially started liking it. And now that the F10 M5 came out, I actually fell in love with it - just the M5 though. For now
