2014 BMW 640i xDrive Review - Rich & Lonely

[@mattkroening7964]

640i and 650i are worlds apart in terms of reliability

[@oxcy4k964]

Which ones more reliable? I’d assume the 40

[@brendan7632]

@@oxcy4k964 if youre getting a BMW, always get the one with the straight 6, and not the V8 lol

[@ZDY66666]

Neither are reliable. 640 isn't b58 despite the 40 name

[@topspeed6553]

I know someone that had this but the convertible and it was perfect as he was a young wealthy man with a wife so it was fun and the back seat was perfect for his 2 kids that were in elementary school and plenty off room in the trunk for soccer supplies

[@Schaufelor]

That´s what i think. Even with 2 kids, this car is actually practical for several years. No problem. I think it is a great car and i would never want a 3 or even 2 series. Just too small.

[@Ibnnzahir]

I wish they put a b58 in this😩

[@e.e9331]

I genuinely dont understand why they didnt, these were sold up to 2018-19 and still didnt have B58 unlike 440i and 540i. I would buy 1 in a heartbeat. n63tu is superfast but also super garbage.

[@pheonixblaster9485]

@@e.e9331they put the b58 in the GT but then they got that electronic steering and it’s all just a mess 😔

Bought a 640i recently. The shape, speed, comfort and uncommonness stood out to me. I don't like the new overly aggressive look in the new beemers - it's being overdone and they all look so similar now. I think this car is one of the few pretty beemers left. I don't have kids but they'll easily pop into the back once I have em. The boot space in my coupe has 460L, which is pretty good. The interior is comfy; this car is not meant to be sporty, it's meant to be a luxury grand tourer. I understand the arguments for the 2-5 series, but they're so common where I live I lost interest in them.

[@dave11686]

Very cool but I’d want a 50 with the V8

[@celsovera91]

They also made a four door version of that car

[@damilolaakanni]

Yeah, the 6 series Gran Coupé.

[@faris5785]

10:44 I may not be rich now but I am lonely and I want to be rich some day. I absolutely love the 6 series coupe and cars like the 6 series coupe 🫠

[@Markm1017]

I fell in love with this car ever since Clipse drove them in the video of "Im Good"

[@damilolaakanni]

The 6 series was replaced by the 8 series in 2019. And like the 6 and 4 series, there's a Gran Coupé of it.

[@bwofficial1776]

BMW's medium and big coupes from the last decade look like Mustangs from the side. The kind of person who buys one of these doesn't need a back seat.

[@IronMonkeyPimp]

Its an assholes car - its long, its wide, huge, sits only 2 comfortably, its an enigma wrapped in a paradox. Interior has leather everywhere, its quiet and refined inside. In the UK we have a twin turbo diesal option which after a stage 1 does 0-60mph in less than 5 second but return 50mpg. I have one - I love it.

[@izacah85]

I'd definitely have a 6 over a girls M2😂😂

[@Chris-rs3dj]

Yes BMW makes better coupes, but at the expense of luxury. This has balance.

[@dabenz11]

as an owner of 640i x drive convertible - you said leave comments on why we like them: You complain that it's big, that's one of the things I like about it, not scrunched up in it, if I get hit / have an accident, there's girth around the car. Your fixation on the rear seat being tiny - I never use the rear seat except to place groceries into it when the top is down. So-stop acting like it's some abomination to have those back seats, think of them as shelves and nothing more.

[@monoralph1375]

640i is reported to be the reliable choice. No diesels in the USA for this model. Kids are gone and hours away. Grew tired of my retirement (own for the rest of my life) Lincoln LS, 13 year ownership and very reliable. Multiple two seater toys in the garage. Needed an new toy. Wife purchased a 4 series 10 years ago, 600 miles new. Too small for me. I remember a 6 series convertible in the showroom when they were new. Gorgeous car. Well I realized a GT was an appropriate choice but didn't want another four door. Looked for a few months for a low milage, no salt rust belt, 640i (not 650) in an acceptable color combination. So far well pleased with my selection/purchase. Quiet, smooth, highway drive for hours car. If I want wind in my hair and noise, I'll take out a toy in from the garage.

[@izacah85]

Your clearly not ready to own one of these...

[@yunga8305]

What makes u say that ? Isnt the 640i reliable?

[@Chris-rs3dj]

Looks like a 2023

[@successblueprintinstitute]

I can never find these in x drive

[@retrosteven]

Zach the Mazda RX7 picture I love looking at that

[@matthewnicholas6365]

No idea why this proposition is so difficult. Grown ups don't always want hard edged leary M cars. I own an e46 M3 and dare not leave it in a station car park all day. When my wife sits in it she moans constantly about the noise, the rattles, the bumps, all of it. A big GT is for people who have no need for back seats (or another car) and want a nice looking car that eats miles and doesn't worry you. I'd stick a 650 in a train station car park and forget about it for the day. I wouldn't put an M4 in there at all. I'd rather walk in the pouring rain!

[@texan176]

Guy at work had a 2014 650i X-Drive and it was great when running properly but the quality was horrible. The transmission went out at 20K miles, passenger seat motor failed around the same time, fuel system had pressure loss dealer was unable to repair for months, it went into limp mode reduced power at least a few times for various reasons, some $8 coolant hose required $1500 in labor to replace because it was considered a wear item and not covered by warranty, etc. Most all other stuff was covered by warranty. He paid around $100K to buy and got $25K in trade on it. Nothing wrong with that if you know what you are getting into. This is not a car for anyone in the used car market thinking they will get a bargain price for a premium car. It will bankrupt you as something completely out of any warranty coverage.

[@swaggydesh4997]

That’s the 650 not 640, which is way more reliable

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

That bmw. Is a nightmare for maintaince. Terrible. Car really.

[@thepatrioarchy]

What series BMW do you have?

[@barrywhite5899]

Absolute nonsense. I have a e63 BMW 630 2006 and a 2013 640i. Both have strict service requirements, driven with care and serviced correctly, they will be fine.

[@Anythingyoulike2013]

You are so wrong 640i with n55 engine is known to be reliable. :)

[@davidgeorge2666]

The 650i v8 is the nightmare
