2005 Bmw 645ci Base Coupe 2-door 4.4l on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
AOL wrote an excellent review (below) on this model that describes the vehicle perfectly - please read the entire review to know this car. The BMW 6 Series delivers stellar performance, brilliant
handling, and that arrow-like stability that marks this marque. The 6 Series is a true grand touring car,
unique in the BMW line-up, and qualify as an ultimate driving machine, yet can
be driven all day in perfect comfort. They
offer greater luxury and comfort than the Z4 sports car, yet with higher
performance, more agile handling, and sportier styling than the 5 Series sports
sedans. Options on this model include: heated front seats ($500); head-up display
($1,000); the Sport Package ($2,800) adding active steering, 19-inch sport
wheels with run-flat tires, and sport seats; and a Premium Sound Package
($1,800) includes Logic7 audio with six-disc CD changer. Leather upholstery, a choice of rich interior trim, and a
long list of luxury features are standard, including a sports suspension,
18-inch wheels, xenon adaptive headlamps, and park-assist. It comes standard with adaptive headlamps that
aim toward the inside of a corner as the steering wheel is turned. This helps
throw light around bend when cornering, reducing shadows and improving
visibility for the driver. The iDrive system features a big knob mounted on the center
console that controls navigation, the audio system, climate controls, and other
secondary functions. Various functions
can be selected by sliding the big knob left or right, forward or aft, then
turning it like a knob to work through menus displayed on a monitor on the
center stack, and pressing down on the knob to select options. The head-up display projects speed,
navigational information, cruise control status and other data onto the
windshield. The trunk is relatively large and can hold two sets of golf
clubs. The BMW badge on the rear serves as the latch for the trunk. The trunk
lid pops open fully when the button on the remote key fob is pressed. BMW's 4.4-liter V8 delivers 325 horsepower and 330
pound-feet of torque. The 3,781-pound
coupe with the six-speed manual gearbox transmission can accelerate from 0 to
60 mph in 5.5 seconds, according to BMW. The manual gearbox is smooth and precise, easy
to shift, with easy clutch pedal effort; it's lighter than the six-speed used
in the BMW M3. In short, the six-speed
manual is an excellent choice. The
32-valve V8 benefits from Valvetronic variable valve timing and variable lift;
breathing is controlled entirely by the valves. (Technically, there is no
throttle, so the pedal on the right is more accurately called an accelerator.) It's a fascinating engine for engineers and
car buffs with technological marvels such as its Double VANOS steplessly
variable intake- and exhaust-valve timing. But the bottom line is that there's lots of
power throughout the rev range, so the 645Ci responds quickly and precisely in
any situation. It's also an efficient
engine, so energy is not wasted but is instead channeled into fuel-efficient
power. The engine sounds great, emitting
a guttural roar under hard acceleration through its nicely tuned exhaust
system. The 6 Series cars ride lower than the 5 Series. A 645Ci is
absolutely joyful on a winding road. Handling is precise, with a superb
self-centering feel to the steering. It
goes around high-speed turns like it's on rails. It can be driven very hard into tight corners.
The suspension is tuned to minimize
undesirable behavior when braking hard, accelerating hard, or lifting off the
gas while cornering. Active Roll
Stabilization dramatically reduces body roll in cornering. As the car turns corners, the anti-roll bars
are twisted by little hydraulic motors, so the 645Ci leans very little, even in
hard cornering. In addition to
increasing driver confidence, the system improves handling over bumps,
increases cornering capability, and improves steering response. |

Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."
These are your top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012
Mon, Jan 7 2013Despite 2012 being the best year of auto sales this country has seen since 2007, not every vehicle got an equally large share of the sales pie. Some barely got a sliver, as evidenced by this year's list of the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. We've dug through sales data from every automaker to come up with this year's list and, like last year, we've set some parameters to ensure it includes legitimately bad-selling vehicles. The first parameter is a starting MSRP under $100,000, which automatically excludes what's parked in most one-percenters' garages. We're also excluding vehicles cancelled in 2012, even if they garnered sales through the end of the year while dealerships sold off remaining inventory. This includes models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and last year's worst-seller, the Acura RL. Next, vehicles are considered as they are reported by the automaker, which means that, while sales of the Murano CrossCabriolet were probably low enough to make the list, because Nissan reports only one number for all Murano sales, it was excluded. Cadillac, however, reports sales of the Escalade EXT separately from the Escalade, hence its repeat appearance. Finally, there was the question of whether or not eligibility should be given to Suzuki vehicles, as the brand announced in November that it would end sales in the US as soon as its current inventory ran out. We decided Suzuki vehicles should be included as the brand was offering 2013 models at the time of the announcement, and as far as we can tell, inventory levels remained high enough to satisfy demand through the end of the year. Without further ado, below are the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles of 2012 10. Volvo C30 MSRP: $25,500 Units Sold: 2,827 Last Year: – 9. BMW Z4 MSRP: $47,350 Units Sold: 2,751 Last Year: – 8. Audi TT MSRP: $39,545 Units Sold: 2,226 Last Year: – 7. Subaru Tribeca MSRP: $32,595 Units Sold: 2,075 Last Year: 10 6. Suzuki Equator MSRP: $19,449 Units Sold: 1,966 Last Year: 7 5. Cadillac Escalade EXT MSRP: $63,060 Units Sold: 1,934 Last Year: 6 4. Nissan GT-R MSRP: $96,820 Units Sold: 1,188 Last Year: – 3.

Hamann BMW M6 Mirror can now cash the checks its body writes
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Anyone remember the Hamann Mirror? Need a refresher? The Mirror is German tuning company Hamann's idea of a BMW M6. It was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show as an M6 Gran Coupe, sporting a ridiculous paint job and some meaty, multi-spoke 21-inch wheels.
Consider this car the Mirror Mark 2. Based on the M6 Coupe, Hamann has applied a similar visual theme, using the same 21-inch wheels from 2013. Whereas the Gran Coupe rode around with a stock powertrain, though, there's been no such restraint with the two-door Mirror. A fine 620 horsepower is available from the 4.4-liter, biturbocharged V8, an increase of 60 horsepower. Torque is up as well, from 501 pound-feet to a whopping 560, meaning this M6 has speed to match its looks. Hamann claims the Mirror's newfound grunt allows it to hit 62 miles per hour faster than the standard M6 (we'd certainly hope so), although it won't mention a specific number.
The suspension, meanwhile, has been dropped 1.37 inches, or about a third of an inch lower than the Frankfurt Mirror. That drop is complemented by the Mirror's bodywork, including the exposed, carbon fiber hood and the flared fenders, which can now accommodate the enormous 305/25 rear rubber. Hamann has also paid some attention to the front and rear aerodynamics.
