This
650i, not 640i as titled. Love the exterior/interior colour combo (apart from that steering wheel!). Sadly a little steep for me for the age, and possibly a bit early (could be a pre-TU N63), but otherwise very lovely.

Doesn’t work at all for me - and yes, the steering wheel is especially hideous!
I do live the shape though, and Predictably I think they look best in dark blue!

I've never seen a whitewall steering wheel before. Has Mik been at it with his Tippex?

It looks like someone has fitted an alloygator to it.

I’ve just noticed the brown headliner too! That is nasty - like being inside a cow.

That might be the first ad I’ve seen where the majority of the pics are not of the car in question. The seats look quite tired, I don’t think the mileage is honest.

The HPI check states 640, and I think AT usually titles the ads automatically from the reg, so I'm inclined to think they just changed the badge on the back themselves?

It’s a 640 as the 650 has square pipes.
Surprised why they didn’t just badge it as an M6

Yep, it has the whole spec in one of the photos - 640i SE. So not even an M Sport like it states!

I wonder if that is a Jap import

That'll teach me for looking! I skipped that pic
Ah well, fvck it then if it's only a 640. I still really like the interior though.

I’ve seen a few on AT with that interior, they’re rare but definitely about.
Good luck with it, the 6GC is a funny thing imo, photos don’t do it justice, whereas in the metal they look awesome!

It has what looks like a weird Mother of Pearl trim, that’s vile
They are huge though, isn’t the footprint pretty much the same as a 405 Range Rover, they did a posh release of the M6 version at Burghley house and it looked enormous. A fantastic shape from the back though, not so keen on the front.

The M6GC is something I've occasionally looked at, but tbh I think I'd much rather just have an M5.
Interior of that cooking one looks like a bugger to keep clean, too.

I thought it was quite meh until I realised it had that interior. Sublime.

It looks like someone squinted at a Speedster then stretched it down in photoshop - no delicacy there.
Can't say I'm a fan of that.

Me neither. Those wheels are all sorts of wrong as well.

I was looking at them at the classic motor show in Nov.
They're quite nice in real life.
But like most expensive projects I don't know why they don't hold out for lower mileage (and bigger engined) examples to base it on
