My Ride: 2005 E60 530i Steptronic Mystic Blue
No mods yet...
Hi guys
I'm an owner of a lovely 530i and I quite enjoy driving it in New Zealand.
Last year I test drove a 645ci and I was absolutely amazed.
But the rising fuel cost was the biggest problem.
Well, today, on my way to get my car serviced, I saw a 630ci, imported from Germany, mint condition,
8000km on the odo, and only a year old. It was only used for photography, and it's just like a new car.
I test drove it, and the R6 engine is feels better than the 4.4 V8!. Maybe because of the 150kg being shaved off.
I'm considering about it... Not really sure if 630ci is a good replacement...Has anyone driven it??
Should I just stick to me 530i, or just upgrade to a 630i??? I need your help~ Thanks~!

If you are willing to scarifice the space and ease of getting a third person in the sedan by all means go for it. The Euro folks seem to love it. We do not have the chance to get these in US so hard to make a judgement. But if u have driven it and it pleases your senses then by all means go for it. I love my 645, and the the 650 folks have even more grunt at hand. But if u have some twisties worth their salt then you may have the best combo in the 630. I have a feeling the 635 (biturbo) may be in the near future. I think that would be a great package too.
