I'll openly admit that this is an abnormal test drive, we don't even have a BMW dealer here in town. But that just made it all the more sweet. Check out this 2012 640i and see what its like to have a personal sports coupe...on 22" rims!
As always, I try to present a real world, honest and most of all, unscripted review that you can relate to.
A special thanks to Rico AutoComplex of Gallup, NM.

I love my 05 645ci. Same rims but 19" and in Bronze. Gray ext. Black int. You're 100% correct. I get looks and compliments where ever I go. HUGE SMILE. :D. Though I had to fix the common issues that come with the motor to the tune of $3500 shortly AFTER the purchase I would still recommend this beastly beauty. I'm an Emergency Room Nurse and really do not have the budget to get a 2015 6 Series and 05 is very reasonable. When I pull up with the top down even the doctors think I'm a doctor. Hahahaha. Thanks for makimg this video!

Well done review. I'm in the market for a late model preowned luxe / driver's car that's super comfortable ... and holds the road like glue... and a car that LIKES to be spanked when I'm in the mood. I've been looking at all the top car reviewers and your review on this BMW is right up there. One side note: make sure the dealer's logo who gave you the car, get's some prominent attention along with their web address and a cool shot of theit inventory as well... You'll get many more dealers willing to give you their cars to test. And then we viewers get to see a bigger range of cars!

It's a single twin scroll turbo. Confusing because the the engine cover says "twin power turbo". Its a beast of a motor nonetheless. Don't remember where I found my 0-60 data (not my own) so I can't vouch for it!
