It was a beautiful morning today in Ft. Worth.
Went with the family for a walk in the park, and the lighting (right before the rain) was so nice so I snapped few pix of the 6er.

Well, it does feel a bit faster, but mostly because of the transmission - the engines in my 5er and 6er are exactly the same units.
Transmission on 6er is more explosive (different gearing I presume) and if you drive it hard, it handles better than a 5 (due to a shorter wheelbase).
Both are great cars.

Thanks!

I've gone heads up with a 545 and absolutly murdered it. (Of course on a safe closed track) 6er does have different gears, imo is faster than the 5, and feels more eager to want to just goo. Uh o, should I really be saying this on e60! Maybe bad driver? who knows lol, but when I test drove the 545, it was nice, but felt very different.

Good to know!
545 feels a lot different. But its very quick for a large sedan.
I'm not a big fan of the seating position in a 5er, 6er is better by a mile.
