The future is now! The all new 6 series coupe (F12) and convertible (F13) details are out and dealers are taking orders. Still no word on when the 4 door Gran Coupe will go into production.

Good article. I love mine. I had an E24, and had the same feelings about it.

I have owned the car a couple of months now, and I really like it. Not much I would change; and what I would is nit-picky. I would have the NAV screen hide [go up and down]. I would paint the calipers, they'd look a lot better in BMW blue or something.

Not much to complain about in this car...it's great!

I would like side bolsters for the seats, I would like the suspension settings separate from the transmission setting that way if I want a sportier ride without having a more aggressive throttle. I would like the HUD to have temp, rpm, added option if you wanted it. Make the moon roof smaller so you can slide it open, pop up only is useless IMO.

No it's not setup that way now, when you hit the button now the suspension gets stiffer and the throttle response is more aggressive, you can't separate the two.

Maybe we're talking about two different things, but when you flip it to Sport, you don't have the option to "Configure" the setting, choosing transmission and/or chassis? I do in my 5 and did in my 7.

Yep you can configure - via iDrive suspension and/or drivetrain settings independent of each other and store the same.

Good. Had me worried. Maybe I misunderstood what Elias was saying?
