very nice car, i've never seen a coupe with a real hard top, all US coupes come with the glass roof...which color do you have? it sort of looks like mine, but these metallics are hard to tell in pixxx...good luck

Yes. I think i have the only coupe around here without the glass roof 
I think it's because the car was made on 07/2003 (i believe 6er's were just introduced around that time) and they didn't have the glass roof as an option back then. It also has no cup holder and no memory for the passanger seat (standard option now if i'm not mistaken).
The colour is Stratus Grey (best colour for the coupe
) and the leather is Cremebeige.

Actually I bought it used with 5000km's on the odo around 4 months ago and have like 15k km's with it at the moment. It's been rock solid so far except for the airbag/seatbelt retractor light that won't go off and dealer cannot reset.
Great car anyway!
It looks gorgeous, purrs like the devil when you ask it to and is very fun to drive hard on a twisty mountain road with hairpins and fast left/right handers. 
Only things i dislike at the moment are the speed limiter that kicks in at 255 Km/h and the fuel consumption witch is now (winter is coming so 3-10 degrees celsius) 11mpg instead of the regular 13 i used to get
It doesn't really count at all for these types of cars but i hate it when i see US guys getting like 18-23mpg with the 6er because of the road infrastructure you guys have over there.

Very nice car and pics. Thanks for sharing. You are lucky to get Stratus. When it was introduced in US only the 50 Niemen Marcus 6ers were Stratus. It was not until late 2004 that BMW offered it again to US market.

Anyone changed their fog light bulbs to make'em look more white like the xenons? I was thinking of going with some Philips H7 Ultra white's witch i heard we're quite nice. Any idea witch is the best to match with the xenons?
