As some of you may have noticed my lovely Range Rover is up for sale.... so I thought I'd post a few snaps of it's replacement a BMW 640d M Sport in Alpine White with some options, including a panoramic glass sunroof

It's a very different animal (which is what I wanted), extremely quick and will do an alleged 51mpg (apparently 40 - 45 real world). I collect it from the BMW dealership at the end of the month

Very nice Andy .... oddly enough i was looking at one of them last night all be it the 630i ....  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

Where does the dog go then Andy?

Nice looking car sir

Yep, they're nice motors. I was looking at a 5 Series GT for a while. Well appointed inside too.

^ funnily enough I saw one of these at Dublin Airport marked up as a VIP car.

Looked rather classy in black. Bit different to the regular 5 series and their pretty fearsome depreciation makes for a decent 2nd hand buy.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

MPG, really
Had an X5 and it was a country mile of their claimed figures. Had the dealer take in and check, was massively as at the time that swung me from my FFRR I traded in, never again.
Check Honest John and you will be nearer 38 mpg  Porsche 993 Targa, Buick Skylark Convertable 1968

I love everything about that car apart from the ride the run flat tyres provide .

I'd happily have an M5 - great car

I think the new M4 looks really sharp and perhaps makes M6 look a bit "flabby"

Thanks for the comments The car is beautifully finished inside full leather dash, all leather doors, centre console etc - bit like the FFRR Autobiography spec and one of the things that I liked about the car

RE the MPG the reviews seem to demonstrate 40 - 45 mpg on average which is good enough for me coming from a petrol FFRR that does 17mpg  Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White

Very smart looking car. nice colour combo too.

(SWMBO has a 645 conv in black and its a pig to keep clean). Like your pano roof. makes a lot of difference to the inside which I think can feel a little cramped especially with the black liner of the rag top.

Remember it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

Gone in order:
4.4 TDV8 SE - gone to a good home
93 Classic hard dash Plymouth Blue
03 L322 Oslo Blue
2000 Disco TD5 ES Epsom Green
98 P38 Rioja Red
89 Classic Cairngorm Brown

I assume if it's the 645 it's the previous generation, older shape 6 series? I had looked at the old model many moons ago and space wise the new model is much more spacious internally  Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White
