Hey Mark, my 6 is getting a little long in the teeth also. An XKR hasn't been on my radar, but . . .

Do you know of any decent XKR forums? I'd like to see what owners are saying.

Thanks,
Don

A Welsh Tail?

I just returned from spending a few weeks in Wales and Cornwall. In Wales I stumbled onto a Welsh version of our Tail of the Dragon. It's highway A4069 and runs over the Black Mountain Pass in the...

Either you have MUCH larger parking lots in Toronto than we have in Tulsa or you and I have a different definition of "high speed."

The ONLY way to get to San Francisco from Los Angeles in a 6-series is on 1/101. And THAT is a drive everyone should take - top down if possible!

5 will bore you to death.

:dunno:

Not sure which specs you didn't like -- top speed is only 125, but that's faster than I usually drive.
0-60 is under 6 seconds. So I'd say it's reasonably quick, even if it isn't fast....

They will spray the entire headlamp at speed, but not sitting still. The "wind" will bend the stream.

Good luck confirming this assertion.

Get up on wrong side of bed??

Bit of an over-reaction, don't you think?
While I agree with your sentiments regarding texting and driving, I don't think this is the best way to convince people.

How's the sound at cruising speed with the top down? Any "droning?"

I'd love a more aggressive sound in town, but I spend too much time on the road to live with noise at speed.
