The last great looking BMW, you don't have to convince yourself it's good looking, or let it grow on you, it simply has you at hello.

Kept mine for 3 years/75K miles, which is a record for me. Traded it for a Merc E300 coupe, which I hated. The Merc salesman did a private deal to buy my 640, as he loved it so much. I've had 29 cars in my life, and I think this was the best ever. Fantastic buy.

I have one and after nearly 30 years of almost exclusively BMW owning/driving I have to say that this is the best looking, most satisfying and most capable BMW I have ever owned. Sure it is just an F10 in drag but with all the toys it has as standard plus some nice options this is so much more. Get one, you will not be disappointed.

[UMNRZ]

Unbelievable that this is a 10 year old design. Such a stunner. I'd take it over the new 8 series GC any day. Thanks to the god send that is depreciation, I think this car has to be the most expensive looking £12-15k car you can buy!!

[stevenbennett]

The BMW 3.0 straight six diesel is probably one of the best diesel engines in any car.

[christianbagge]

You have convinced me, I will buy a 640d. Started looking for a sensible electric car as a daily driver but life is too short…

[michaelpeacock]

I had an M6 GC in 2016..owned it for 2 years..blistering fast..575bhp..sold it when I nearly(nearly) lost my licence..still regret it..looked awesome...rocket ship.

[alexvlad]

I agree with most of what you said, especially about the driving experience, I had my 640 for about 3 years and hands down the best car I had, pretty cheap to run considering, mine never missed a beat, service every year and all went great.

640i GC owner here (one of 22 according to How Many Left). Fantastic car. I’ve owned 911s in the past but with kids, this is the only way to travel (apart from the L322). You have to work it harder than the 640d but it sounds so much better and doesn’t smell. I see 30 mpg average so the diesel wins on that of course but I don’t do huge mileage. The 8 is undoubtedly good but just doesn’t look the part somehow. Keep up the good work.

[damindra]

sold my Msport 640D and got myself a Porsche Panamera ehybrid Sport Turismo, mine was a 2014 6 series and what a wonderful car, drove it belgium, even drove it snow!!

[Jahmed]

The six series oozez luxury and comfort! Such a good looking motor!!

[howefamily]

Had mine over a month. Its an absolute machine. Went from a 520d. It makes me want to drive more. I love it.

[andrewclayton]

Great review. Bought a high spec 2015 facelift 640d GC ex demonstrator from a main dealer in Sept 2016. Matt picked up all the good points including the benefit of the panoramic sunroof - it makes a big difference. An absolute dream to own and drive. Another standout feature in the Head Up Display that should be fitted to every car! Nice job Matt!!

[xwuiwvo]

When this came out it was stunning and even now it's still gorgeous - personally find it a million times better looking then its hideous predecessor. Also have to agree with you Matt on the fact that this 6 series and the A7 & CLS at the time are 3 amazing looking cars, all 3 which I'd happily buy now

[johnholland]

Excellent video Matt, I had a test drive of a 2015 640d last November and couldn't believe how good it was. I drive Clients cars for a living(f/t chauffeur) and have driven hundreds of different vehicles over the past 24 years, so a car has to be really special for me to be impressed! Just missed out on a well spec'd car two weeks ago.

[mikeowen]

I came out of a 996 C4 when my children were too big to get in the back of it and I knew I’d be doing loads of motorway miles. Loved almost everything about it… but on rutted and pot-holed B roads the ride is really very very harsh. But it’s a GT and it does that effortlessly and, when sensible, returned 45mpg too. Swapped it since for a Macan Turbo on 22” wheels and the ride is sublime so it’s the run-flat, reinforced tyres that can irritate.

[teaw]

I’ve had one for two years. Best car I’ve ever owned. On 80k miles now and never had an issue. Still pulls like a train

[lucacristian]

once in a while I come back for having a reassurance on my next dream car.. Always best review material you can get on you tube.

[Brego]

I have a 2018 GC and it is the best car I've ever owned. Better than a 7 series with style. Just Love it....

[jamescarr]

I’ve had a 4 640i conv over 12 years… feels wonderful and I look forward to any excuse to get into it and drive it somewhere . Only people without a pulse don’t like this car.
