6 series quality is questionable ?
Only question for yaself is do you have the money to buy it and keep it.

Wah, can afford to buy this car, but worry about FC?

my dad is buying im just 17
so wanna ask u guys if it is a good car?

Very very well said, if i am you, i will get myself a driving license and then test drive this car everyday.
Your dad is a CEO ? BN people ?

I thought you said "im considering to buy a 6 series"?

Then now become YOUR DAD?

People who can really afford this car and keep this car in their garage, they will not care for the fuel consumption. Unless you are a person who just pay for downpayment and few months later sell off the car, purpose is to show off to people for few months.

Depends on where u drive it little boy

Well, sign most of us here can only dreeeeam of such cars, why not look into this review from Top Gear....

http://www.topgear.com/uk/bmw/6-series

As qouted from the page,

"The BMW 6-Series is a well-sorted, huge Coupe that does everything with typical BMW aplomb.
But even its mother thinks its looks are ‘challenging’."

Why not just buy the M5.... 4 doors, more poweeeeer....

Wow, golden child. Since you can claim 6-series, then why worry about FC. Can claim from him also what.

the m5 looks old fr me
suitable fr middle age dudes
but not fr teens i guess

my dad said he will only gimme 2.5k fr the FC
is it enough?
i hear a lot of comment that this car gulp down the oil like water

Per month or only one time?

per month
will it suffice?

So ugly heh
Go for something better looking,hmmm

lol, 2.5k, of course!

Boy, how far can you travel a month?
RM2500 of petrol can last u at least 10000km.
Divide that by 30 days, an average of 330km per day.

Which if you still have no idea. Is equivalent to driving from KL-Penang.

But for the sake of your safety, literally. Don't buy BMW, cos it's one of the favorite of robbers & hijackers.

Get something less popular, like:
Alfa Romeo GT Coupe
Benz SLK 280
Audi TTS
Porsche Cayman S

beauty is in the eyes of the beholder mate



this cars that u mentioned
is it easy to get spare part?

2.5k per month?! That's more than enough.

why a 6-er?

if you insist on a bimmere coupe, get a E92 3series coupe..

You have the money to buy the car...

Why worry about anything else...???

that car is common on the road

ill ask my dad to gimme only 1.5k
coz i think 2.5k is a lil bit too much

wanna ask fr the con la
no use to buy if the car have many problems

This post has been edited by happymilk: Apr 22 2009, 11:26 PM

You're really a damn lucky son.

These cars are going to be problem free as long as you serviced them as per schedule at authorised service centre.
Cost of maintenance?
It's peanuts compared to the car price.
Surely you can afford.

May i ask.... why a 6 Series...???

330km per day is more than enough la, unless u doing sales~
buy lar nissan GTR then u can show off at college

M6 perhaps? With exhaust setup done, it will be roaring like a ferrari. Seriously.

im gonna survey those cars 1st
thx fr recommendations

em bcz its beautiful?

tried it b4
didnt like it

haha
i dont like a car that roars

This post has been edited by happymilk: Apr 22 2009, 11:32 PM

BMW is not suitable for 17 years old kids lar~ 6series somemore~ where do u wan to further ur studies? i ask ppl go kidnap u

Last try....

Latest M3....

2 door coupe, same as the 6 series....

More power than the 6 series....

or you have already made up your mind.....

dont jeles.

the 6 series design is more sleek and solid den the m3

Since your going for the 6 Series.....

Why not choose the M6.....

M3 and 6 series are almost the same. 6 series has slightly more torque and the handling is about the same.

Another lucky son....

P.I.M.P to be??

too expensive la
but if you want to the extra rm200k ok la

Get a Z8 man, what else you want ?!
or you like to look like a old man drivin 6s ?

This post has been edited by InF.anime: Apr 23 2009, 12:02 AM

z8 never heard of it lol
the design is kinda awkward =..=
hows the performance of this car?

get a z3 better

wish my dad is rich enuf to get me such classes of cars

Here is the links, go through all of it.

http://www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&q=z8...&meta=&aq=f&oq=

my uncle got a z3! lol
nice car but the design is kinda outdated

Buy Honda Legend lah. Be the first Malaysian to own the new Legend.

my bro used to had n it;'s seriously under powered tho the spec is rare 2.0 -.-
at the it looks flatter than z4

Hm, if it was me, i'd still go for the m3.... maintenance wise, performance wise....

the V8 sounds thunderous.... the handling.... simply one of the best cars....

but since your heart is already with the 6 series, go for it....

everyone has their own preferences....

pagani zonda.. saleen raptor.. merc slr.. ferrari.. best buy..
i ride bicycle only when i was 17..

we're different i guess

dude, go for the 7 series, get the 740li, i assume you wanted to get the 630 coupe, price differs alittle but the ride i personaly prefer the 7 series, test drive both cars before jumping into conclusion getting the 6series...

7series is too big fr me
that car is suitable fr old business man

mate, this is a very good car. doesnt look old. power and stylish. u got the right choice. get a black 1 or white 1.
this car cannot compare with those subaru, evo, nissan or honda. 6 series is one step further than all these brand. go get it, but becareful of ur safety, coz this car is very eye catching. i think 6 series is better than M3 in term of exterior. else u can consider CLS, CLK, SLK, audi TT. all are elegant.

ur dad doing wut kind of business? got any kangtao intro to me?

haha, icic, but why coupe?? 2 doors are troublesome... just my personal oppinion...

This post has been edited by BouncyBall: Apr 23 2009, 01:40 AM

6er has been around for a while. BMW might probably be thinking of the next gen.

i'd say m3, but seeing that you're still a kid, you'd be safer in a 320i, tbh. if i had anything more than 2.0 when i was your age i'd have been wrapped around a tree.

what is the price for a bmw 6s ?

anyone think that this may be posibble troll thread?
who in the world will care about FC and maintenence and spare part if his/her father are going to sponsor everything of it?
talk about being good son?
why not cheaper car like toyota/honda or if really wan conti, audi/alfa etc?

it could be a troll thread.
however, of course ppl should care abt fc and maintenance, even though it's sponsored. it's still money, and it still has to come from somewhere, and chances are, it's not unlimited.
my petrol is completely taken care of by the company, but i still watch the fuel consumption gauge and try to drive efficiently when i can.
my maintenance is completely taken care of by the company, but i still shop around for places to fix the car at a lower cost, and have opted to ditch the more expensive runflats. i have a mental image of how much fuel i use a month, and i've been hoping to keep the maintenance budget under 10k for this year, but i've failed miserably there cos it's over budget and it's only april now

fc/maintenance/road tax/insurance/loan repayments... they're all valid points to consider when choosing a car.
but really, i'd rather google everything up instead of asking it in here, or i'd try the bmw forums instead.

@TS
u are lucky to have a good parent that provide a car that other people can dream on .asking about pro and con is good.but it is a bmw and 6series somemore.not much cons about this car cause people actualy praise it.that mean it a damn good car.seem ur parent give u the car and give a petrol money,so just take it.ur just 17 and i dont see u can be a good son just saving the petrol money?if they can give u 2.5k/month,that mean they can give u more than that.for maintenance,spare part or etc,plz dun care about that.its not that u will pay for it.did u?
if wanna be a good son,just take a good care the car and show them how much u appreciate it.
about maintenance/road tax/insurance/loan repayments or etc ur parent know about that.
p/s:u 17,dont think too much.just take it.

other car in the same class : Jaguar Xk, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Merc SL class, Maserati Granturismo, Audi S5 (not really in the same class thou), a 911.

Please tell me you're not sensui...

go for it! its 6 series for god sake!

is it brand new or a recon one?
as someone said the 6 series has been around since 2003. bmw might have been preparing for a new model already.
is it 630i?
645ci is more common(easier to get at the importers)..
but a 17 year old driving 4.4L v8 engine? even 17 year old driving 3.0 is insane enough

Thought it was his dad who was buying it?

his dad ask him to choose for him to use.

he said m3 too common. hahahahha~

haha u shud explain that to him.

fuyooh..
17 years boy drive 6 series?
u will be tenggelam inside dat car if u are small haha..

other cars like nissan gtr @ evo X not in ur list ke? more suit to young ppl rather than diz 6 series..

long term thinker he is.

This is apparently, his rich dad's next purchase.. so obviously those Asian nonsense won't make it into the list..
I won't take him seriously if I were you, though. He's only 17.

many young kids case today esp at Hartamas. this is common now.

how long he want use diz car? 10 years until he become adult to suit to diz car?

or he juz making story of diz

dudes im not trolling
my dad can afford it and i got prove
im not a spoilt brat my dad ask me to choose a car
so i choose la
ill trade that car with my straight A's spm result
ive tried gtr b4 and my cuz got a evo but the old one
nice car but it does not suite my taste
ill be using this car until im married
so it will be 10years b4 change to another car
long term
so i wanna ask u guys is this the right choice
im not gonna rush
=..=

Long term...

If you're driving it everyday, you better consider other cars. If you're only using it for weekend ride, then it will last for 10 years or more. But then, money is not a problem eh? You buy 1 Swift for weekdays commute and a Porsche Cayman S for weekend ride. Cool?

have u ever considered a porsche 911 carrera? that's more practical as a daily car i suppose

porsche is kinda ugly
no offence

get a Golf GTi la, this 6 series is for old man,

I'm same age wif u TS,but i can drive my mom's 5 series due to special occation only -.-"

go for M6 =P

srsly, this is not too far-fetched, there are a lot of people in this country with money.
heck, even i've had the pleasure of having some cars i've probably shouldn't have had before my time.

now, the E63 6er came out in 2003, about the same time as the E60 5er. we know that the F10 5er replacement is coming out around 2010. one can assume that the 6er replacement would be around that time, and indications are around 2011. mules are already being tested.

so consider that the car will be current only for the next two years, and if you intend to keep it for a decade, you'd be having the previous generation for the 8 years after that. and also that the E63 is kinda fugly haha.

also consider that the 645Ci road tax will be quite hefty, and I've had a car with the exact same 333hp v8 inside, and it's an engine more suited for cruising around gt style, crossing continents in a day, and not really vroomvroom m6 style. I've also had a car with the same engine as a 630i, which really should be quite sufficient actually, if a tad bit underpowered.

but yeah, the advice i'll give you is exactly what i stuck to when i found myself in a position kinda similar to yours very recently:

1) buy european
2) buy a new updated model early in its lifespan
3) buy for classic looks, not for cutting edge
4) buy for reliability, reasonable cost and ease of operation

i very almost picked out the new m3. even now, i'd absolutely love to have it. but there are so many other cars out there that are worth looking into, so why don't you have a look into them.

if u wan long term, better get 5 series or the incoming all new E class or X6. 6 series is not really term i can say. if i were u, i take 5 series, and take the extra money for some other investment or business. i think in the future u hope to own 1 6 series by ur ownself rite, not ur dad buying again rite..

ignore thouse people who destroy your post, they are probably jealous, even if you are fake, this is a forum where we should share our knowledge, typical Malaysians are always like that...

anyway, for long term you should seriously consider other cars like a 4 door or something, and you are 17 right?? and you are not going overseas to study?? go and get expose to the world, you might wanna consider to migrate wif the great amount of money your dad have... hahaha... i'm an asian american, used to live in southern california, the cars there are way cheaper compaired here... think about it... hahaha...

can m3 really live up to the hype?
bcz many ppl here recommend me the m3 i think i shud try it
gonna test it this weekend with my dad
hope it doesnt disappoints me
lol

those car isnt really suitable fr my age
those car are more for the middle age ppl

migrate? no thanks
i love malaysia
im going overseas if i got good grades

then if you're gonna study abroad soon, why get such an expensive car in malaysia now?

y not try discuss wif ur dad about Ferrari spider?LoL!

im not sure yet if im gonna study abroad
the business management course here is ok what


thats too much lol
but the car is so

This post has been edited by happymilk: Apr 23 2009, 04:09 PM

then i strongly suggest u 6 series over M3. really different lar the outlook and style.. if u are rich, just drive what u can, dun bother other ppl.

really glad that know someone love malaysia. i love malaysia too. and i hate those who study abroad and dun wanna come back, and insult malaysia country badly. i tend to ask them, where is ur root, ur parents. no malaysia mean no u. not matter how bad is here, still our home we grew. no offense.

6 series is a good car but pls be very careful with it. A lot of eyes will be watching.

This post has been edited by silverwave: Apr 23 2009, 04:29 PM

eh really?
hmm nyway ill still be testing the m3 this weekend tho
wanna see the difference that everybdys talking about
yea malaysia is wonderful

will do mate

if dunwan eye catching then get proton lolz...

1) don't think of all the hype when testing cars. don't think of what other ppl say, just make your own assessments about how it drives. what clarkson and all the other wannabe-clarksons say are only guidelines, and not rules to be adhered to. after all, when you buy a car, you buy it for yourself, not other people.

2) a 6er looks way more middle aged than a 5er i think. but really, other ppl's misconceptions about how old a driver should be when driving a certain car is crap, and it should not matter. so disregard what i say when i say the 6er is fugly haha.

3) you're 17, young and impressionable. you want people to look at the car, and what ppl think about the car and about you is important to you. just remember, when you buy a car, you buy it for yourself, not other people.

em...as per your WTA thread; well 6 series is alrite. 2.5k on FC is sufficient (say em.. 350 per week X 4 = 1400, the balance; spend on clubbing) but subject to your driving mileage and driving method. this is not 2.0 engines..

if u want to consider other car, perhaps Audi TT 3.2 Quattro.

thanks mate

ill be driving it 100km'h> always
well this car is meant for high speed action

100km/h wont consume much if ur RPM below 2.5k
RM2.5k is enough unless u wish to travel 200km daily

6 series is a decent car, if u talk abt 'actions' on high speed y not consider M6.
anyway, satisfactions demand are subjective.. as long as u r happy with the car.

if u getting a new unit, no worries

if u getting a 2nd hand unit, good luck

have fun!

This post has been edited by wizardboy: Apr 23 2009, 05:11 PM

most likely will getting a brand new 6 series
wont getting a 2nd hand unit bcz i know they will be problematic
m6 cost a mill
with a mill i can buy a bungalow house
unless u wanna add the extra 300k ill consider about getting a m6
joking

This post has been edited by happymilk: Apr 23 2009, 05:15 PM

word of caution though, especially about high speed action: m cars and 17 year olds aren't always happy stories. you can google around for that 17yo that killed himself and 3 other buddies in his dad's m5 on some runway in the states.

when my spm exam is over
ill be attending the advance driving course
so i think i can handle it

ahhh bad news bad news..

Added on April 23, 2009, 5:20 pmn i tot all BMW future owner will have to attend the advance driving course of their own?

This post has been edited by ridox_orimabu: Apr 23 2009, 05:20 PM

i'm sure u can afford that 300k top up for m6

anyway.. i must agree with Roland. Regardless any car u drive, once u are above that 80km/h, the car is in control; not u. it doesn't matter u gonna attend the adv driving course, but alwayss be ethical and responsible driver.. not all road is meant for speeding. n control ur ego and temper
it's easy to speed..easy to drive the car.. but .. trust me, it's not easy to handle a car at high speed.
