2016 BMW 640d Gran Coupe Start Up, Road Test, and In Depth Review

[@tim2kz]

The perfect autobahn cruiser.

[@Eweyouhew]

Great reviews as usual! Being able to decode all the available manufacturer options packages offered is a science & art in itself. You have a natural talent for that. Please review the 2016 BMW M4 Turbo (with water injection), a 2016 Buick Lacrosse, and a base 2016 BMW 535 (without the M and M-Sport option) in the future.

[@anantaudi]

You should add a night time review of lighting of car also in your videos. It would give a much better idea of headlights and interior lighting.

[@rickysmits3378]

I think that'll take much more effort. But if he likes it... good idea!

[@ibeunstoppable]

The BMW 6 series is sooooo sick!!

[@AboVeV]

finnaly a bmw driver who uses his signal lamps i thought the lamps were premium and you had to pay 10k for them

[@AboVeV]

@@trickydicky90 Well you did reply to a 5 year old comment tho haha

[@Lukasdw02]

First real German car that you've driven. Nice. You were actually not far from me when you were in Germany. I live Frankfurt and you started in Düsseldorf. I've watched the videos from your trip and I can totally tell you had a lot of fun.

[@Awayze]

Saw one of these on the road, it truly is beautiful. If I had the money, i would get it over the 5 series anyday.

[@carguyns4348]

Awayze well said

[@nsx001]

If sex was a car, it would be a BMW 6 Series.

[@hemligt4367]

You Are The Best Car Reviewer By Far Man! Great Job Kyle, If you come to Sweden i'll give you a Saab , No joke.

[@corona407]

I love these bmw L6 Diesel engines so much! Their sound has that "dirty" note that i like

[@chanseormon]

BMW 640D Xdrive needs to come to USA

[@brianlee4986]

BMWs are my favorite cars (especially the ones powered by a 3.0l Inline six) the Inline four BMWs are my favorite too.

[@mjodi666]

Your new recording is perfectttttttttt , keep it up man .

[@saabkyle04]

+Majed 2014 Thank you!

[@BrandanM94]

I have the 2015 model 650i Gran Coupe same exterior color with the m-sport package and x-drive. My dream car. So beautiful

[@JoshBrinson]

It's a little thing, but I LOVE the absence of the annoying ding ding ding at start-up that our cars in the States are required to have.

[@ConnecticutDashcam]

That was a really sweet review! Really cool getting to see that Autobahn clip

[@saabkyle04]

+asdbs11 I wish it wasn't raining and there was less traffic so we could have explored the limit! Glad you enjoyed!

[@KeeT4Life]

FUN FACT: The license plate: M: FG ; First letter stands for the the city(M for Munich) where the car is registered and the second and third is random but if you wish you can choose the letters and the numbers following (of course for a little amount of some €uros^^) So...but the combination M F G stands for the german MIT FREUNDLICHEN GRUESSEN ... translated in WITH BEST REGARDS. I know my comment is 100% usless but i think the license plate is cool^^

[@saabkyle04]

+KeeT4Life That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@propanemower13]

Hey Kyle, Just want to let you know diesels can't have variable valve timing or valve lift. They will loose compression, since diesel engines use air that is compressed so fast and so tightly that when you compress air, it gets very hot, and when the injector squirts the fuel in at around 30,000 psi, it instantly ignites. These new ones are so quiet because of the common rail direct injection system. The fuel injector will inject up to 5 times per combustion cycle to reduce noise, instead of letting a big quantity of fuel out at once like the older diesels and thats what makes them loud. The new clean diesels inject small amounts but up to 5 times per combustion stroke.

[@saabkyle04]

+propanemower13 I had no idea about that, thank you for the insight! I'm not sure where I saw that, but I must've mistaken that for the 640i specs. I will add that in an annotation!

[@propanemower13]

+Saabkyle04 You are welcome! Thank you so much for all of the time you put into your videos. I agree with you, I'm a big fan of BMW diesels. Its a shame we don't get that many models in the US. Thanks again Kyle, totally enjoyed this BMW diesel review. I didn't want to come off that I was correcting you, Just wanted to let you know! :)

[@propanemower13]

+Saabkyle04 But you are absolutely right about the 640i having variable valve timing known as VANOS, and variable valve lift, known as Valvetronic.

[@swsephy]

Damn that's a nice car.

[@tamaraanuradhawijesundara754]

+swSephy | Sim Racing Yeah!

[@ftxs.2857]

+Tamara Wijesundara Vevo my uncle have that lol

[@carguyns4348]

Yes it is

[@ihuss007]

been waiting for the review of this beast!

[@Guitarplayer219]

Great video Kyle, glad you had a great time on an amazing trip.

[@CrunchiBox]

The front of this car... man i cant its so beautiful

[@carguyns4348]

CrunchiBox the whole car is beautiful

[@therigidperson4079]

the best reviewer ever !!! keep it up Kyle.. 👍👍

[@TuddecBMW]

What an awesome car. I want one right now.

[@HangHe2key]

Kyle don't forget you drove on Wintertires ! Equiped with some 20" high performance summer tires this car will be much sportier !

[@dReMiXeDg]

i drove a 2015 x5 the other day. was pretty impressed with it.

[@sirschittzalott9730]

My dad has a 2013 bmw 640I gran coupe. Fantastic car.

[@WhiteSlift]

Hey Kyle, as you are probably aware, German auto market does not use the "future model year" distinction, so this is not a 2016 but a 2015 Gran Coupe.

[@saabkyle04]

+WhiteSlift In America, the 2016s are already on the ground. Someone had mentioned that, but I had no way of confirming. Nothing significant has changed between 2015 and 2016, I double checked. Being so late in the model year, I covered this car as a 2016 model since it was brand new. In less than two months, we'll be in 2016 anyhow :)

[@markbalo4469]

Hey Kyle nice video!! if i may make a suggestion, could you do a segment in your videos where you drive but strictly hear only the interior of the car without the commentary? it would be interesting to hear how quiet and comfy these cars are

[@saabkyle04]

+Mark balo I am starting to add those shots to the the sound clip section of the video, and did so on this one. Click on the time stamp in the description box for the sound clips and you'll see what I mean. I will start doing that for future videos. Thanks!

[@markbalo4469]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@topdollars2]

Soooooo nice to not hear those murrican-style beeps at 2:30. Welcome to Europe.

[@saabkyle04]

+Riccardo Vigato Hahaha, that's the first thing I noticed!

[@VaunShiz]

ya like in GM products, Bong Bong Bong

[@Trophos94]

+Saabkyle04 i got a quick question everytime i am thinking of a specific car model and searching for some videos on youtube you seem to put the review on youtube the very next day! You really know what your viewers want from you!! thanks for the content and welcome to Europe!

[@saabkyle04]

+Trophos94 I try my best! Thank you so much for watching, glad to hear they're helpful :D

[@H808Cars]

Sounds weird without those murrican style beeps.

[@fredschriks8554]

Great review Kyle. i like it in 60FPS.

[@SamuelDrives]

Great review, great car, great engine (long personal experience), tanks a lot

[@CarCommercialsofthePast]

That is one elegant, and very sleek looking BMW sedan.

[@turn1_shorts]

I love how the exhaust sounds like Gran Turismo on the PS1

[@danielfl.9347]

You should have put it in a car wash before making the video... Almost every fuel stop in EU has one.

[@saabkyle04]

+Daniel San As I said at the beginning, I did it on purpose. By the time we washed it in monaco, drove up this mountain and across the gravel, it would have gotten dirty again anyway.

[@danielfl.9347]

***** My fault, apparently I did not listen carefully enough. But actually it gives a pretty good insight in how the car will be in everyday life. I have just turned 18 and bought my first car. I wash & polish it every week, but for most people, they barely even wash their car after 3 months. - You could perhaps use it as a "long term test" of other cars? Instead of having a press car for 1 week you could ask for having it in a extended period of time? But nice videos, I have been following you since you had around 13.000 Subscribers, and I must admit that I miss the cold starts and the Jeep Grand Cherokee that had a blown engine, ha!

[@saabkyle04]

+Daniel San Haha that's awesome! I'm a neat freak on my personal cars too, we had a lot of fun with this one, thanks for watching and supporting me for so long, it really means a lot :)

[@danielfl.9347]

***** You're absolutely welcome Kyle. It has been a pleasure, and it will definitely never end! :-)

[@ardonjr]

+Daniel San When I was 18 I also washed my car every week.. Then I got a fulltime job and now I have some better things to do than wash my daily driver every weekend.. You'll get there when you get older.. trust me ;)

[@JUNIOR43950]

next in deept review is going to be that Peugeot at the background.....I'm joking...great!! great video Kyle.

[@keniiito]

such a beatiful machine

[@Queenwraith]

Great review! Quick question, where’s the side door ambient lighting? Cheers!

[@gorl01]

Such a nice car! Great review as always

[@stayer85]

2:45 xdrive has hydraulic assisted power steering, not electrical

[@noredcr]

I really hate the digital gauge trend...

[@saabkyle04]

+noredcr I was always mixed originally, but I can see the benefit. Some look better than others, but I love the reconfigurable layouts, so much technology haha.

[@noredcr]

That is an upside, Im just stuck in the past i guess. haha. I dont even want nav in my car, Im one of those people that wont even change out the stock head unit.

[@saabkyle04]

+noredcr Understandable!

[@trefod]

+noredcr I've only ever driven one car with a digital speedo. It was so annoying and kept me gazing at the readout all the time. I prefer the the more vague needle that just informs me that I hover around a certain speed. Also there is something aesthetic about a nice mechanical gauge.

[@Cr3act]

Love the 6-series, always has. Have a friend who's waiting for his new M6!

[@ajeisenberg]

Can you plz try to get a video out on the brand new BMW 7 series? That's would be awesome. By the way, love your channel.

[@pacobomz7523]

Why does it have an M badge on the wheel, but not in the back or in the grille?

[@saabkyle04]

+PacoBom Z I was trying to figure that out myself, maybe an a la carte option?

[@nathanrc27]

That's for the 'm sport package'

[@saabkyle04]

+Nathan Crook But this car isn't an M Sport, that's where my confusion comes from.

[@strongandhealthy126]

+saabkyle04 you can Order just the Steering wheel itself. Its called m Sport multifunktionale Leather steering Wheel

[@nathanrc27]

+Saabkyle04 oh really?? That's so weird!

[@PlazmaBooy]

God I LOVE 60 fps! Great video as always! ;-)

[@billwilmington8284]

Hey Kyle! Is it possible for you to review a preface lifted E90 328i 3 series? All of your reviews for that generation 3 series are around 4 years old. I recently got a 2008 328i and it would bring me so much joy for you to review one!

[@maxbaker1889]

Hey great video as always, but its a shame not be able to hear the music of the cars speakers through the actual mic of your camera, i much prefer this and i think it shows us what the sound system really sounds like, its a shame to hear it edited it in. I hope this can be improved for the future. Cheers

[@saabkyle04]

+Max Baker It's not a matter of being improved, as I usually play it normally, it was a matter of timing and audio difficulties with my mic. I have since corrected the problem and have a new mic on the way, no worries. Thanks!

[@maxbaker1889]

+Saabkyle04 that's great to hear thanks !

[@antoineford1185]

boooy you know you big time now, got ya fly ass glasses on, on the mountains. congrats on everything man really mean it been watching you for some years, can't afford a damn thing you review but that k900 on my radar keep eating man world is yours

[@Nordmann61]

Please Kyle, if you have pictures or videos from your driving in Switzerland, could you please post them on your website? A part of me is Swiss :). Thank you for the review, exellent and in depth as always! Cheers.

[@jayanpawar3028]

Awesome vids!!! Keep it up!

[@alexvlad2770]

Well done review!

[@EliteMustangGT]

Looks very nice very high tech with the exhaust of a breaking down 1980 Honda Civic. Maybe its just the recording, hopefully it sounds better in person.

[@babapg]

Finally an Europe car, without all the annoying sounds when the doors are open. nice

[@adamglover252]

Another great car from BMW

[@duncan-audi2855]

can you do a review on the E24 6 series. I want that car as my first car. But I would like to know more about it. And your reviews are helpfull, awesome and clear. Hope you'll read this :)

[@Tbland0930]

Beautiful car. Looking to pick up a CPO 640i GC soon.

[@CynicalBastard511]

BMW doesn't make V6 engines. It's an straight six three litre with a twin-scroll turbocharger.

[@Tbland0930]

***** The N55 is a beast motor.

[@jamesmolyneux2743]

This is a very, very good looking car.

[@motorhead_jt21]

Quiet my ass, that thing is breathing harder than Darth Vader.

[@jetstream454]

Because augmented sound sadly

[@bigalfredkaholique1961]

That speed limiter option would be useless for me if I had that in my car, as you mentioned when you fully mat the pedal, it allows you make said evasive maneuver, due to my cheerful but not plentiful 130bhp in a car that is 1100kg it's really the only way to have fun.

[@saabkyle04]

+Big Alfred Kaholique Understandable! I had a tendency to press it too hard and knock it out of the limiter haha.

[@connorsurdyke8841]

LOVE THE BMW MAN DO MORE!!

[@lshin80]

Crazy question: which one is a more comfortable ride between this and your old '95 Buick Roadmaster?

[@Deathslayer2299]

MY god I wish I could afford a nice car like this one day!

[@DaOldSchoolRapLova96]

+Deathslayer2299 You will bro. Keep grinding.

[@carguyns4348]

WhipMeGrandma ikr

[@burchmaine2962]

You did a review on the Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM AMG, right? When are you going to post the video?

[@saabkyle04]

+POTAT O I will work on it ASAP, have a ton of content to work through from the trip and other recent testers.

[@farhatnasar804]

please review the 2016 lexus lx 570

[@andypittman9850]

F.Y.I. to convert Kilometres into MPH, just divide by 1.6. Ex: 2,300 kms becomes 1,437.5 miles. Equally to covert MPH to KPH you multiply by 1.6. I do this all the time as I cross the border from Canada to the U.S.

[@GD15555]

videos remind me one of the best car reviewer named MegaRetr

[@johannesmaximilian848]

Why do you use a external navigation system? Does the car has no navigation system?

[@johannesmaximilian848]

***** GPS

[@5.7_TY]

Most rental cars don't have nav options on them

[@anthonymontgomery8186]

If you can, do you think you can do a review of a 2016 Ford Explorer?

[@DevasionX]

Kyle have you ever considered using the metric system for the rest of the world?

[@saabkyle04]

+DevasionX Someone else asked that already. At this time no, it would just be too many numbers to list. North America is my biggest audience so I have to look at that primarily. I'm contemplating on adding charts in the video that lists the numbers, if I do that, I'll add the metric units. Thanks!

[@DevasionX]

***** even if it only is a subtitle telling the metric counterpart the moment u point out a measurement, for example when u talk cargo space in cubic feet, subtitle liters under it. And everyone will know what u are talking about.

[@AsianJon]

Love the car!

[@saabkyle04]

+Asian Jon So did we! :)

[@saabkyle04]

+Ghislain ASSAN I have a 2015 coming, have to wait on the 2016.

[@sivuluisu5801]

Driver's side's A/C at 26 celsius? You prefer sweaty shirts over dry shirts?

[@brianlee4986]

Does this diesel have glow plugs, Kyle? I mean obviously all diesels have glow plugs nowadays. Love the review though and I hope you enjoyed your trip in Europe!

[@jeremyadiitya]

Probably my next favorite car ;)

[@Tashyncho-Sapa]

the seatbealt looks very weird and uncomofortable, is it actually?

[@BusMaster99]

Rocket 900 video coming soon?

[@saabkyle04]

+BusMaster99 Yes!

[@barrachief]

i worked it out to be about 40mi/gallon ,is this correct?

[@SangvinKang]

anyone noticed the bov at tev ups?

[@JDMLife97]

Sweet ride

[@Rockport1911]

Nice rental, I only get the slow diesel Golf wagons, but i also drive alot more kilometres. I like that you kept it dirty, exacly how a rental should be :)

[@bachnguyen1749]

Hey Saabkyle04! How was it like driving on the autobahn where speed is how fast your car can safely handle, and common sense is more common than the states ! Lol. I'm stationed in Germany right now and I love the autobahn and pretty much how they drive over here, you can literally pass people on normal roads as well if you deem the're too slow. Just wanted t get your opinion.

[@MA9494AM]

At what rate would you think the Europe videos will be available? weekly - bi-weekly?

[@hendradi3031]

Simply Awesome.

[@victoriag497]

Will there be a 2016 Bmw 650i M-sport Video? (:

[@zartosht06]

why are you using an extra nav?

[@saabkyle04]

+zartosht06 Because it had our route programmed into it and could be wirelessly updated from a smartphone if necessary. The BMW nav worked fine though.

[@maximilianoluera6679]

Jesus the diesel in a new F-250 sounds quieter than that!

[@broganborens727]

Would you go back to doing an actual road test section to the video where it's you driving and talking to us? In my opinion, I like that better than just random driving clips...

[@Ghumman34]

Hi! Are you going to review the Lexus lx570 2016?

[@muzibourrehman7708]

I wanted this bmw to be uploaded for along time ago.and,did you like the car?

[@dpelletierable]

Can u PLEASE do a vid of a 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum!!!!!!!!!

[@RomanM803]

best car out

[@-Tidgy]

Body just looks like a copy of the S Class. Was it me or was there that much lag at 2:18?

[@-Tidgy]

Arthur Naussans Yeah....no, the S Class I think this looks similar to, came years before this facelift version of the 6 series so....

[@arthur33500]

My source Wikipedia : BMW F12 / F13 / F06 : 2011 - And Classe S - Type W222 (2013 - ...) So actually you're still wrong my friend :)

[@-Tidgy]

Arthur Naussans The one I'm thinking of is from way before 2011!!! So I'm not still wrong 'my friend'. Patronising fanboy.

[@TechBootYT]

The audio was fine in the video

[@RAJohnson713]

I don't know if it's just me, but some cars look good dirty

[@furkan5018]

Where did you buy that car in germany ?? It had a number of Germany

[@BullrockMcHammergeil]

It's a rental, dude.

[@stayer85]

11:50 diesel doesn't have variable valve timing

[@Fc-cb3tn]

+Saabkyle04, I'm a bit puzzled by why does this SE 6 series have an M sport steering wheel? Is it a new option for the new GC?

[@saabkyle04]

+Felix Chan Someone else in the comment said it's an a la carte option.

[@Hmmm313]

So saab next is a BMW for you?

[@corjor100]

Gone are the days Kyle posted videos of cars i could afford :(

[@saabkyle04]

+Corjor Not true, I just have more opportunities to film incredible cars than I can count haha. Can't blame me for trying to do bigger and better things. I'm just one guy after all, there's so many videos I have to put up, I just don't have enough time to get through them all :/

[@corjor100]

***** Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that your growing and having chances to interview amazing cars! It's just that my price range of cars as a soon to be college student is only around 16k. So videos like these are cool to look at, but I loved it when i could see reviews of cars in my price range and think "Maybe that could be my future car for college." I still love your videos and your my favorite car reviewer, I just miss that part of the videos. But I still appreciate all your hard work on the channel :)

[@saabkyle04]

+Corjor Thanks man :) I will surely keep that in mind if something comes down the pipeline!

[@talhajaffar]

You said Re-gen system. Did you mean Regeneration ? So its like a Hybrid? Or did i misheard it lol

[@saabkyle04]

+Tee Jays Brake Energy Regeneration, similar technology used in hybrids, you heard correct! Part of BMW's efficient dynamics systems.
