@@thegame123ize For reliability go for 630 as bmw straight six from this era is very good. Also its super smooth and the car as a whole is lighter and more nimble compared to the v8
Really excellent video. It's just amazing how tastes change. I didn't like the Bangle designs when they were new, but they're so modern now. He was years ahead in styling.
thanks, his designs have always been divisive, things like the Fiat Coupe and Alfa 145 still split opinion, but sometimes the world needs someone to shake thing up and move things on
Had my E63 630i 3 years now.. and I literally just discovered another feature I never knew it had. If you click the mirror adjustment switch to the right & then put it into reverse.. the mirror dips down so you can see the kerb..and thus avoid damaging your wheels! Who knew lol 🤷🏼♂️ Have just ordered some new VEEMANN VC7 20” alloys, 9” front and 10.5” rear from BM Autosport along with some Eibach springs to lower it a little (much like this car). Should freshen up the appearance 😎
I had a 2006 650i Sport and it was probably the best car I’ve ever owned… well worth a punt especially at current prices. 635d is the pick of the punch for speed and economy.
its amazing how cheap these are back home in england. My father was trying to buy a 650ci back in the day, but the dealer was too slow. I also looked at one before my wife bought me my 1 series :D it was a dark red 630ci, thou buying a car like this in Moscow is very risky, as they don't tend to look after their cars. Nice video matt. Cheers :D
Thanks Matt. Have you seen Hoovies Bentley that came from Russia? Possibly from gangsters and definitely not well cared for! I now some Bulgarians here and they have family who visit by plane, buy cheap cars and drive home as a bargain VW in the UK is so much better condition than one over there, for the same reasons apparently
furiousdriving yes, that bentley was crazy. I have looked at a few thou, that hoovies one, is the worst by far. Supercars here are much cheaper than the Uk thou. My friend bought a gallardo for about 60% of the Uk one. Normal cars in Moscow are much more expensive thou. I wanted to by my fathers old cayenne, and send it over to Moscow, but the import tax was about $25-30k . I really need to find out the prices of bargain cars in russia :D
I test-drove the 630i convertible when it was new. Compared to the original E24 635CSi that I had at the time, the all-round visibility wasn't the best. No room at all in the back, and the indicator cancellation system was unusual. The engine was lovely, though, and closest in spirit to the old M30. If you do a search for the Fisker Latigo CS, this is the body shape which the E63 should have had. Much more pleasant to look at, and closer to the E24 ancestry.
I have a 2008. LCI or facelift. It has the N53 engine, heaps of grunt for normal driving. Change from the RFT's to normal tyres and that will make the ride much better. Use the sport button, and its quite the jump up in response. You don't need a V8. These are the best bmw's from the era. Last of the low offset beemers. It rocks, modern classic.
@@Jaspal1993 it’s great. Can’t complain. It’s rare, it’s quick enough, well made, auto could be more fluid, but it’s thoroughly modern, bmws have never been good at cup holders, she’s a bit tight in the backseat but the boot is massive. All in all I can’t complain. I have the M6 alloys so it looks awesome as well even at standard ride height.
@@lionelanderson2368 Good to hear no issues. Even the cup holder looks fancy. Let’s hope they continue to be reliable. They’ve definitely aged incredibly well
@@Jaspal1993 I've had my 630i LCI for 11 years now and intend to keep it for another decade. It's awesome to drive, to look at and sit in. Unexpectedly reliable too.
Hi! I own the same model and I was looking to lower it, but just a little bit . The fitment on yours looks just fine, can you please let me know what dimensions/model are the springs installed and also the spacers, if there are any? Thanks!
Man your channel is amazing ! Keep faith and people will flock to it you just need a little luck from TH-cam (I never heard of it until I got this video in my recommended)
I'm contemplating buying one of these, as I'm a big lump of a man I think this is one of the few "performance" cars I can fit in comfortably, there are also a surprising amount of them for sale out there and I love the styling albeit controversial to others. I'd of course love an original mint 80's 6 series, but will wait until I become a millionaire for that purchase!
There seem to be loads or non at all of these for sale, hold out for one with the options you want and check it all works as upgrading and repairing is crazy expensive
Very interesting facts that your wife told, i always felt like the m54 was way more lovely to drive in the lower rpms The n52 came alive in the upper rpm and felt somehow sluggish down low
Used to have one over the road from me, never seen it move much in two years. One of the admins in a car club I am involved in has one and has a aftermarket exhaust system and sounds sweet. Lovely noise this one makes as well.
Drove one last week belonging to one of my family. He gets 24 mpg on the daily, city commute and managed 38 mpg on a long run at 70 mph. It really is very good.
Both are reliable units compared the the V8's. 630i is best for driver feel as it is lighter, revs higher and is naturally aspirated. 635d is tuneable for more power due to biturbo. Bear in mind 635d is not ULEZ exempt if you live in/frequent London
I am the only person to care .... about the rear seats. Nobody in any vido on this car shows access and room with 4 folk in it. AND whilst I'm bitching, please don't record videos when parked at the side of a motorway/busy road. :-)
It really has aged well.. I have one as a daily driver and get compliments on it quite often. It’s the quiet smooth polar opposite to my RS
same here, every time i take mine for a drive i always gets thumbs up from random people
Can u tell which engine is the best one to get. Not power wise ofcourse but reliability.

It's now 2018 and just look at the designs. Absolutely fantastic. I'm really impressed by you and your videos. Thanks very much.
Hi , whats a Fu..k noise during a this video . I mean a nice a car with no complication engine . Morf
@@dajadaja9816 Want to try that again, in English?
@@seankirby2580 It's almost 2022 now and the Bangle era design on this E63 is still fresh and awesome.
its a very special car, i got one as well and had 21 cars so far, none has felt this kind of special, its hard to describe
Now i just bought my second

if only you read the manual you tool
Almost all BMWs have that feature.
My brother now own this exact car. We bout it yeaterday.
im getting one next week,i am extremely excited 👌

I would say so too but if you live in london you have to pay ULEZ charge for the 635d

Beautiful cars and wheels.
If only they offered one of these with the6 cylinder in Australia...
Very interesting facts that your wife told, i always felt like the m54 was way more lovely to drive in the lower rpms

Oh just heard the introduction, sorry for my misleading text
Does it not have sports mode button mine does its EVIL 😅
If someone can answer,how much is average fuel consumption of the 630i? Thanks
Josip Marinic I have 630i. Fuel consumption is about 15-16 l/100 km in the city. Highway is 10-12 l
I own a 2004 one with manual transmission. Average consumption is 9,9 litres/100 km (don't know what that's in mpg, sorry.)
@@Alex-skater is your 630i the 3l 6 cylinder or the 4.4l v8? Thinking of purchasing one and skeptical on fuel consumption
Max Bobby my car is 3L 6 cylinder. Average consumption is 12-12.5 l/100km
@@Alex-skatermuch appreciated thanks

Lovely noise this one makes as well.
They need a decent exhaust, the sound comes alive with that on them
What's mpg like on the 630i sport?
Apparently about 24-25 mpg
I get 29.4 on average. Well, well worth it!
Drove one last week belonging to one of my family. He gets 24 mpg on the daily, city commute and managed 38 mpg on a long run at 70 mph. It really is very good.
@@cologne2792 38mpg that's bloody good. Was going to get
Lexus Gs300 but now I'm thinking of getting this .
@@beastman.330 The 635d can manage nearly 50 mpg under the same conditions and has an extra 30 bhp and nearly an extra 200 lb ft of torque.
cool video, but please get better audio for future videos
this is a very old video on the channel, check out anything from 2019 on
wasn't it based on the e60 platform?
Yes you are right. This is based on shortened e60 platform.
hey guys, im thinking to buy 635d or 630i as a daily drive, which engine is better and more reliable?
depends if youre doing mostly motorway and long distance or around town really
I'm doin around 25 miles daily on motorway, what about reliability of these cars?
Both are reliable units compared the the V8's. 630i is best for driver feel as it is lighter, revs higher and is naturally aspirated. 635d is tuneable for more power due to biturbo. Bear in mind 635d is not ULEZ exempt if you live in/frequent London
Well done on the terrible sound 😂
Some say, her jewelry stil clickity-clacks to this day
I would've liked a 2nd hand 6 er Grand Coupe but it was still too dear for me.
Hang on, why sacrifice the rear seats? The 330i is a better choice.
Need to take those false teeth out of the glovebox.
🤣🤣🤣
Nice review
Just awful background noise

The rear seats in this car are iron maiden if you know what I mean 😊. Don't put anyone in the rear seats unless you want them to suffer ...
your wife is pretty

All bangle designs are horrible. Previous gen bmw's were so much better looking
