Oh dear lord. James Martin has commented on my video? I might have a heart attack 🖤 I remember you had a 645Ci yourself after the 330ci clubsport I believe? Your 650i review is legendary ❤️
Love your channel James, you're welcome to have a go in mine if you're ever passing by West London! It's by no means showroom condition, but it doesn't rattle and creak :)
Have one as my daily driver for a year now, excellent car, no problems apart from normal maintenance. A lot of self modding interior options also available, my interior looks like a 2015 m sport plus.

@@CarNitty Ohh yes , I paid mine 5000£ and getting lovely V8 sound which even new M's or S audis dont have anymore. Also design of this car is unique because there is not many on the road. Worth the money
Subscribed !!! even before the end of the video since it is so well presented like a thriller sort of ( suspense mode 😆😆) don’t want to miss any part of it 😅 ( I have a Land Rover supercharged …and did have another one wit BMW 4.4 engine was super cool wd go for for the 650i is a beast … been told 😅and rather reliable if well maintained …
but seriously, I do call it the knight rider...I have black on black..frarada f2 con cave rims tints , had it repainted....everyone thinks it this year..with 190k, I bought it used I'm the 5th owner..had it for 9years...no way I'm getting rid of mine!!!
At 190k miles, it's definitely worth keeping hold of as it won't fetch much money on the market so you can truly enjoy the car knowing there's nothing to hold you back
Thanks for the vid! These were available with manual gearbox, although they're pretty rare. I have a manual 645ci convertible myself. Would be interesting to hear what Kenny's done with the exhaust, as the standard sound is a lot more subdued. Also, some info on his idrive upgrade and android auto conversion would be great too, as that's something I'm looking to do at some point!
Hi Frank, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, if I could pick, I'd buy the manual but rare is an understatement! I test drove an auto and was very close to buying one last month... Kenny's car has had a backbox delete from the previous owner. The one I test drove was stock and although was silky smooth and grunted a little, Kenny's car just screams. He did the Android head unit change himself. I'll see if I can get more details for you!
The 545i would be the more practical long distance GT but they're a lot more expensive due to rarity. 5 Series had a lot more smaller engines for it to be accessible for more people whereas the 6 was kept exclusive by having big engines
I'm sure as the head of the design team at the time, he played a big part in the look of the cars in this era. I too am a fan of his cars apart from the pre-LCI E90 but I love my 90s BMW styling and that's my favourite era
I found one that can be used for parts or you can buy it whole for $2000. i'm definitely considering it. these and the 7 series are two of my favorite looking cars. this more than anything
I would skip the 645 and look for one of the earlier 2006 650s (which pays the same tax unlike later years). Not just because of the displacement/power bump but also the earlier N62 had some reliability issues that could be very expensive to fix. Leaking valve stem seals were apparently very common and a huge PITA to fix, a BMW specialist will charge 2-3k£ for the job.
It's very hard to find a 2005 650i and if there is one on sale hence why I think it's best to buy a 645Ci and just get that specific job looked at immediately after purchase since it's a common fault and factor that into cost of purchase
650s with lowish mileage are unicorns , i would have loved one. I picked up a 67k miles 645 vert (I wanted a vert) for just over 6k. The cheapest 650 with 90k ish miles is around 8.5k from a dealer ( I don't do private sale purchases) or there was a 46k miles one on autotrader for 7,250. Immediately it needs new tyres, the old ones have tread but they're really crap. I probably should have gone for a 650, but just dropped 3k for a new exhaust for my main car
I love mine and also keep it only for weekends. In the week it's either I3 or 528....much cheaper😂 for the daily drive and i hope i keep the nasty bills away longer this way..mine has the SMG transmission on top of it....
What kind of exhaust is in it? I have an 04 645ci & a 14 M6. I actually like crusing in my 645ci, but got damn the stage 3 and full exhaust on my M6 it gets down and moves! I just wish the supercharger kits for the 04 were cheaper.
The 645i * can get 5.5 Ltrs / 100 Kms which is efficient as current 4 cylinder engines at a cost of course however having a luxury V8 with economy ( 1200 + highway KMs range ) certainly makes a tempting proposition
My e46 is msport not sport like most of them. But it is a 2006 model. But you point of ‘msport’ starting with the e90 3 series isn’t true. And the 6 series was actually offered with a manual transmission - but it is very rare
M Sport as a term became a thing around 2005 and the E90 launched that same year hence why it's essentially the car that started the denomination of M Sport. Realistically, it's been around for a while. An older car even such as an E36 has a Sports spec which gives M badge trinkets which is exactly what M Sport is. The manual was an option yes, but most people ticked the ZF6 due to the fact it's a GT car and it suited the car best. The other choice was also an SMG box. Also very rare.
I think that's like comparing cats and dogs. One is a bangle era car and the other is a beautiful classic. Depends on whether you want a luxury limo or an executive coupe. Can't go wrong with either as long as you know what tickles your fancy more
The 7 Series would look amazing slammed without a doubt. It's all up to you. The 6 Series may get boring as with an auto box being the most common choice and it having a linear power delivery, it can feel like a point and shoot type of car.
If you ask me, the W215 CL has aged quite badly compared to the E63 6 Series. Let me make this clear, I love the classical looks of the W220 S Class which is essentially the saloon version but it has aged whereas the E63 6 Series could pass for a 2010 car! I think you should consider the W216 CL as that car looks so modern it can pass for a 2016 car and the interior hasn't aged too badly either. I LOVE the W216 CL and that's genuinely a dream car and if I was to own an old German V8, your current car or W216 CL are your best bets!
@@CarNitty u got a point I got in ma 45 this evening after a week in the work Volvo n man I said this isn't bad at all u know n it's quick... But hmmmm still gna view the cl on Sunday ima check out some of ur vidz
I was very close to buying one myself as a weekend car but the examples I saw at the 5k mark were dogs. If you've got a good example, cherish it and hold out for a proper upgrade such as the W216! Please do check out more videos and comment on anything you find noteworthy
I have both and they are unique in both ways but the CL just edges it for me. Not sure why it has a certain panache but they both are a good time to buy being the prices are so good. Yes maintenance has to be considered but the looks you get and compliments definitely are worth the ££££
Manual 6 speed gearbox was standard. Automatic or SMG were optional extras It's 650i, not 650Ci N62B48 TU is significantly more reliable and has a lot more torque on a wider band.
I'm glad my video encouraged you to make a buying decision. Crazy to think I was able to help you but that's why I made this channel! I hope you have a good ownership experience and all goes well. I've been keeping an eye on these and there's less of these around since I did this review so I'm scared there may be none left by the time i want to make the jump!
@@CarNitty thanks bro I got really lucky picked up one with 90k mileage with the previous owner doing all the 3k worth of oil leak issues - it also has full bmw service history - Man it feels like a plane shifts too!! (I paid 7k for mine due to amazing condition and service history)
@@CarNitty thanks for the feedback and it sounds great! One of the best ones I've heard! I've heard others with resonator deletes but don't like the sound, too raspy and looses that v8 deep sound. This setup is exactly what I had in mind so I'm glad to hear it! - Confirms what I wanted to do to mine. Thanks! Epic car brother 😎
I can't tell you if that's a good deal as the UK market is different to other countries and cars depreciate harder here as we have RHD cars whilst most the the world and our neighbors are LHD so there's less demand for older cars and they tend to be a lot cheaper. In regards to reliability, please check out Timm's BMW Repairs and Information in TH-cam. He's probably done a video on every topic surrounding that car
Great realistic review but 645's are too problematic, All N62's have major reliability issues, including 650's Valve stem seals, coolant transfer pipe leaks, and alternator bracket leaks being the major issues, I drive a 730d and need to get into a V8 before its too late, I'll just put some cash aside and get a 650 e64 LCI car, its gotta be done.
If they are well taken care of and some preventative maintence done, those issues can mostly be avoided. Once sorted and looked after, they are extremely reliable. N62 will run forever if taken care of properly
Just bought a 645ci,matt black,m4 wheels love the bloody thing😂. Picked it up,drove 10 mins down the road and a stone flicked and broke the screen,I was bloody livid 😡
@@thunnisett the backbox is also known as the muffler. The large box just before the exhaust tips. Any exhaust shop will cut that box out and weld a pipe to replace it which results in less insulation or "muffle"
If it goes wrong, yes it will be very expensive. If you don't have issues, bargain of the century! I have mixed feelings on Bangle. In some ways, he's as genius. In some, not so
I love the E46, E39 and E38. Will go down in history as probably the best trio of BMW generation ever if you ask me. But I also like the E60 and E63 too. I like the E65 in pre-facelift form only and the E90 in facelift form. I have my preference when Bangle took over but prior to him, will take any old BMW but that doesn't mean he did a bad job IMO. My favourite M3 is the E92 M3 and that's a product Bangle ultimately
@@k1ortia You gotta be kidding about the Bangle era design. It's the most unique design in the history of BMW. Take a look at the 6 Series, it has aged gorgeously.
Like any engine, it has its weak points. If the expensive jobs have been addressed, it should be a reliable motor. If not, you'll be the one to fork out for it at some point
I had n62 on 745,must admitt kinda lot of points,which can go wrong - got leaking coolant pipe , valve steams ,got coolant leak (didnt found place ,but there are few ,which costs lot to repair becauwe of location)also catalytic convertors was changed. My 5 cents - if n62 ,it muat have as low milage as possible
The manual is such a rare option that I didn't mention it! Literally, at the time of the video, none were on sale in the UK and the auto and SMG are the more popular choices. The auto suits the car as well since it's a GT car
Bro I didn’t want to comment but you defending fake noise piped through the speakers is a fake as Monopoly money 💵 and not for me I rather ride a donkey or go electric. Just my opinion. Nice review though.
This car is incredibly loud but also well insulated. You can tell from when the window is closed and open. With the windows up, it's very hard to tell you're sat on a 4.4 NA V8 and that's where active sound comes in for modern cars. I'm fully against a Golf R that has 5 cylinder noises coming through the speakers but I'm not against a car that only enhances the exhaust note. There's a fine line here and I'm picky about what I like and don't. If Kenny wanted his car to be heard even with windows up, he'd have to straight pipe it which would cause unbearable drone so there needs to be some middle ground. Also, it's important to note active sound isn't just random noise. It matches the cars exhaust note and the rev of the car to make it authentic as possible.
The manual 645Ci is extremely rare in the UK to the point if you look for one, there's literally not a single one for sale. In regards to the M6, the UK only got it with an SMG. I don't know what country you're from Dimitar but you're definitely not from our neck of the woods...
@@CarNitty Yeah, your car taxes are wet dream for me, I'm paying 450euros for 730d f01...even if I have e63, I would never be able to straight pipe it or mod it in anyway, it would not pass inspection :$
@@CarNitty Wow, even if you beat system, you wont beat cop, when he sends you on inspection again :D like he did to me a while ago when I had downpipe on my 535d e60 :D they seized my car for 3 months :$, btw Idk why but 630i is more expensive then 645i and 650i, and diesel 635d is most expensive...
Police are able to enforce fines and laws even if the car passed it's inspections. The 630i is arguably the most reliable engine choice in terms of petrol and the lowest in terms of running costs. The 635d issues m offers fuel economy as well as a twin turbo diesel for tunability so that's why they're sought after
I know the N62 has its flaws but I think if you do your due diligence and and check out someone like Timm's BMW repairs on TH-cam, you can buy a good example and have a trouble free ownership. Kenny's had his car for over 1.5 years and has nearly 150k miles yet still going strong. Don't ever let horror stories stop you from getting a car that you want
@@markstrawbridge9133 I'm guessing you bought the B7 generation as the B8 S4 was a 3.0L supercharged unlike the B8 S5 was initially a 4.2 V8 before copying the S4... Awesome car. Very jealous. Would love to get you and that on the channel if you'd be interested!

Most understated 6series.. such a strong car
Honestly, take a look at a 2004 Mercedes CL500... Chris Bangle was so ahead of the game. The CL after definitely took inspiration from this car
Nice vid, currently considering one of these as a 3rd car. Toss up between a 545i (E60) though
The 545i would be the more practical long distance GT but they're a lot more expensive due to rarity. 5 Series had a lot more smaller engines for it to be accessible for more people whereas the 6 was kept exclusive by having big engines
About to grab my one of these at 107k miles. Loving the reviews so far. 🏆
Great cars but just be prepared for any maintenance
Chris Bangle was head of design and approved this model, he didn't design it. Its a beautiful car in my opinion. I have the Bangle e60.

I can’t decide between a e38 740i or the 645ci. Prefer the look of the e38 but the 645ci would be more fun to drive.

Depends on whether you want a luxury limo or an executive coupe. Can't go wrong with either as long as you know what tickles your fancy more
@@CarNitty I kinda want the 7 series to slam to the floor and make it tastefully modified. But the 6 series would only be a fun daily.

N62B48 TU is significantly more reliable and has a lot more torque on a wider band.

If they are well taken care of and some preventative maintence done, those issues can mostly be avoided. Once sorted and looked after, they are extremely reliable. N62 will run forever if taken care of properly
Bro is this the stock sound of the car? Mad
Backbox/muffler delete
Just bought a 645ci,matt black,m4 wheels love the bloody thing😂. Picked it up,drove 10 mins down the road and a stone flicked and broke the screen,I was bloody livid 😡
That windshield must've been weak for it to crack so easily. Hope the future ownership experience is good
@@CarNitty it was quite a rock mind,made hell of a bang.
Main thing is you're safe and he damage is repairable
Is this the standard exhaust or has it been modified?
Backbox delete
@@CarNitty is this something you purchase or just cut out, remove and weld up?
@@thunnisett the backbox is also known as the muffler. The large box just before the exhaust tips. Any exhaust shop will cut that box out and weld a pipe to replace it which results in less insulation or "muffle"
@@CarNitty thanks. Does it have 2 back boxes in the e64? And was that just one or both?
One for each exhaust tip as they're not joined together
Great power for the cost, good luck with the running cost though? Worst thing to ever happen to bmw was Bangle.
If it goes wrong, yes it will be very expensive. If you don't have issues, bargain of the century!
I have mixed feelings on Bangle. In some ways, he's as genius. In some, not so
@@CarNitty I can see what you mean. but his design is to be questioned? i can design cars better. And that's the truth.
I love the E46, E39 and E38. Will go down in history as probably the best trio of BMW generation ever if you ask me. But I also like the E60 and E63 too. I like the E65 in pre-facelift form only and the E90 in facelift form. I have my preference when Bangle took over but prior to him, will take any old BMW but that doesn't mean he did a bad job IMO. My favourite M3 is the E92 M3 and that's a product Bangle ultimately
@@CarNitty Yes i agree.
@@k1ortia You gotta be kidding about the Bangle era design. It's the most unique design in the history of BMW. Take a look at the 6 Series, it has aged gorgeously.
Is this standard exhaust or its been upgraded????

@@CarNitty thanks man for your response. Regards to the reliability, what would be your word on it ?
Like any engine, it has its weak points. If the expensive jobs have been addressed, it should be a reliable motor. If not, you'll be the one to fork out for it at some point
I had n62 on 745,must admitt kinda lot of points,which can go wrong - got leaking coolant pipe , valve steams ,got coolant leak (didnt found place ,but there are few ,which costs lot to repair becauwe of location)also catalytic convertors was changed. My 5 cents - if n62 ,it muat have as low milage as possible

Thank you for your support. I genuinely appreciate it 🖤👊
I can't hear that from my 645..?
Do you mean the exhaust tone?
Correction notice! 6spd manual was made in 04 and very few people got it. I’ve got one.
The manual is such a rare option that I didn't mention it! Literally, at the time of the video, none were on sale in the UK and the auto and SMG are the more popular choices. The auto suits the car as well since it's a GT car
@@CarNitty the 6 speed manual is fantastic. Good on ya mate...
@@jeffjones2021 no doubt as the years have gone on, the auto and SMG have aged poorly whereas the manual looks to be the sought after choice no doubt!
I actually have an 05 manual.
05 6speed loaded probably only a handful exist
Standard exhaust ?

@@CarNitty Ah ok
Bro I didn’t want to comment but you defending fake noise piped through the speakers is a fake as Monopoly money 💵 and not for me I rather ride a donkey or go electric. Just my opinion. Nice review though.
This car is incredibly loud but also well insulated. You can tell from when the window is closed and open. With the windows up, it's very hard to tell you're sat on a 4.4 NA V8 and that's where active sound comes in for modern cars. I'm fully against a Golf R that has 5 cylinder noises coming through the speakers but I'm not against a car that only enhances the exhaust note. There's a fine line here and I'm picky about what I like and don't. If Kenny wanted his car to be heard even with windows up, he'd have to straight pipe it which would cause unbearable drone so there needs to be some middle ground. Also, it's important to note active sound isn't just random noise. It matches the cars exhaust note and the rev of the car to make it authentic as possible.
Bizarre......I have a 2004 645Ci Msport conv....... Yes, it IS/was available
The M Sport trim was introduced in 2007/8 in the E63/E64 platform
There is manual 645ci for a mater of fact there is manual m6 too .Do your research better before you talk about cars
The manual 645Ci is extremely rare in the UK to the point if you look for one, there's literally not a single one for sale. In regards to the M6, the UK only got it with an SMG. I don't know what country you're from Dimitar but you're definitely not from our neck of the woods...
650i would cost me 1k euros for road tax (per year) fuck EU!
Wow, you're making our £600 levy seem quite small in comparison!
@@CarNitty Yeah, your car taxes are wet dream for me, I'm paying 450euros for 730d f01...even if I have e63, I would never be able to straight pipe it or mod it in anyway, it would not pass inspection :$
We have inspections in our country too but just like anything in this world, people find a way to beat the system
@@CarNitty Wow, even if you beat system, you wont beat cop, when he sends you on inspection again :D like he did to me a while ago when I had downpipe on my 535d e60 :D they seized my car for 3 months :$, btw Idk why but 630i is more expensive then 645i and 650i, and diesel 635d is most expensive...
Police are able to enforce fines and laws even if the car passed it's inspections.
The 630i is arguably the most reliable engine choice in terms of petrol and the lowest in terms of running costs. The 635d issues m offers fuel economy as well as a twin turbo diesel for tunability so that's why they're sought after
I blew my engine 😂😂
@@6lockee these N62s don't have great reputations at this point
Its a show boat/ a stunt moble
I like the way you've given this car a new category!
Wha'no'. Think abou' i'.
I was thinking to get this car at 17 but idk about the insurance 😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
If you can afford it at 17, you'll be the coolest teenager I've ever come across!
@@CarNitty i can afford it but if the insurance will be £6k a year then no 😂
this car needs a good wash
Yes it was very filthy. The owner was very busy the the entire week before the shoot so wasn't able to wash it before he come onto the channel
Try not to say "and what not" so often
This video was very early on in my TH-cam career. My presenting skills have improved since
VALVE STEM SEALS thats why they're so cheap!!!!
I know the N62 has its flaws but I think if you do your due diligence and and check out someone like Timm's BMW repairs on TH-cam, you can buy a good example and have a trouble free ownership. Kenny's had his car for over 1.5 years and has nearly 150k miles yet still going strong. Don't ever let horror stories stop you from getting a car that you want
@@CarNitty it didn't I bought an audi s4 4.2 v8 !
@@markstrawbridge9133 I'm guessing you bought the B7 generation as the B8 S4 was a 3.0L supercharged unlike the B8 S5 was initially a 4.2 V8 before copying the S4...
Awesome car. Very jealous. Would love to get you and that on the channel if you'd be interested!
@@CarNitty yes,2006 b7,before the tax went to £600! And could be interested in being on
@@markstrawbridge9133 that sounds like a dream. I'm sure you can tell how anal I am about the road tax fee! Please do drop me a DM on TH-cam or an email and we can do a video!
