The BMW-UDE was in Vegas today. So, we decided to ditch work and go drive a million dollars worth of European Bliss.
I was personally looking forward to driving the Porsche Panamera-S coupe, since it is one of the few sedans I've missed on my bucket list.
Things I liked: Vented leather cooled seating.
Things I didn't like: Everything else.
================================================== =
Up next was the star of the event - the 2013 BMW 640i Gran Coupe. For some strange reason, BMW only brought the 640i. 315bhp. $85K MSRP. Not sure why they wanted to match that up against the Panamera-S. 420bhp. $105K MSRP. They would have been better off bringing out the 650i Gran Coupe. 445bhp. $95K MSRP. I guess they figured it was more of a competition between the Porsche and the new 7 series. But, that car was a pig. The old 750Li was a MUCH better ride...
Things we liked: Pretty much the whole car.
Things we didn't like: No suspension setting options.
They had a decent line up...
But once my wife sat in the
M6, all bets were off.
We had to start driving EVERYTHING else on the lot.
Why not make a day of it, right?
The
M5 is remarkable...
The
M6 is breathtaking...
I didn't bother with the M3. I just snapped this photo for the rims.
They actually look WORSE in person. Not sure what they were thinking.
They had a few sign-ups and prizes in the "follow-up" tent. So, hopefully we'll win something.
I wouldn't mind doing the REAL driving experience at the BMW Plant Spartanburg, all at THIER expense.
Enjoy...
