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. |

BMW tests M Lap Timer App with M4 Coupe at Brands Hatch
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The 2015 BMW M4 looks to include all the necessary ingredients to offer dynamite driving experience. It's an M car after all. But in today's constantly connected world, the experience of hurtling a car around a track isn't always enough.
We want data, and while there are some solid telemetry apps available for smartphones (notably Harry's GPS LapTimer), manufacturers have been a bit slower to develop their own dedicated mobile telemetry trackers for their performance cars. With the new M4, though, BMW is taking the plunge, allowing drivers to track their lap progress through a new app, creatively called the M Lap Timer.
To show off the program, BMW has recruited touring car racer Andy Priaulx to perform a fast lap in an M4 at the UK's Brands Hatch circuit. The accompanying video doesn't do much to show off the app in action. Rather, it give us a stylized look at the metrics as Priaulx hustles BMW's hottest 4 Series coupe around the circuit.
What happens when you take an engineer sliding in a BMW i8
Fri, Sep 19 2014The BMW i8 is a pretty impressive car, and a highly visible one at that. It's a great brand ambassador, but not just for BMW. It's really no surprise that Formula E chose it as the safety car from the electric racing series. And, for its duties at tracks around the word, the i8 safety car got some slick upgrades, including wireless charging capabilities courtesy of Qualcomm. It's not your regular, cut-and-dry technology presentation. In the video below, Qualcomm engineers explain a little bit about what they do to enhance electric vehicles. But it's not your regular, cut-and-dry technology presentation. The engineers are forced to answer questions about Qualcomm's technology while riding along in the BMW i8 Qualcomm Safety Car driven by none other than Formula E driver Nelson Piquet, Jr. Sure, riding shotgun for hot laps at Donnington Park in an i8 sounds like a lot of fun, but these guys have a job to do, and Mr. Piquet isn't making it easy for them. The Qualcomm guys talk about taking technology and beefing it up for automotive use, explain the benefits of wireless charging and discuss some other stuff that's hard to pay attention to while watching the i8 get totally sideways in a smoky powerslide. See for yourself in the video below. If you miss something, don't worry; Qualcomm provides more explanation about its automotive technologies at its website, including safety, communication and, of course, inductive charging.
What would you drive in 1985?
Wed, May 6 2020Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985? It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic." West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?
