The last great looking BMW, you don't have to convince yourself it's good looking, or let it grow on you, it simply has you at hello.

Kept mine for 3 years/75K miles, which is a record for me. Traded it for a Merc E300 coupe, which I hated. The Merc salesman did a private deal to buy my 640, as he loved it so much. I've had 29 cars in my life, and I think this was the best ever. Fantastic buy.

You have convinced me, I will buy a 640d. Started looking for a sensible electric car as a daily driver but life is too short…

I have one and after nearly 30 years of almost exclusively BMW owning/driving I have to say that this is the best looking, most satisfying and most capable BMW I have ever owned. Sure it is just an F10 in drag but with all the toys it has as standard plus some nice options this is so much more. Get one, you will not be disappointed.

Unbelievable that this is a 10 year old design. Such a stunner. I'd take it over the new 8 series GC any day. Thanks to the god send that is depreciation, I think this car has to be the most expensive looking £12-15k car you can buy!!

I had an M6 GC in 2016..owned it for 2 years..blistering fast..575bhp..sold it when I nearly(nearly) lost my licence..still regret it..looked awesome...rocket ship.

The BMW 3.0 straight six diesel is probably one of the best diesel engines in any car.

Great review. Bought a high spec 2015 facelift 640d GC ex demonstrator from a main dealer in Sept 2016. Matt picked up all the good points including the benefit of the panoramic sunroof - it makes a big difference. An absolute dream to own and drive. Another standout feature in the Head Up Display that should be fitted to every car! Nice job Matt!!

I came out of a 996 C4 when my children were too big to get in the back of it and I knew I’d be doing loads of motorway miles. Loved almost everything about it… but on rutted and pot-holed B roads the ride is really very very harsh. But it’s a GT and it does that effortlessly and, when sensible, returned 45mpg too. Swapped it since for a Macan Turbo on 22” wheels and the ride is sublime so it’s the run-flat, reinforced tyres that can irritate.

Had mine just over 12 months. Beautiful car. It attracts looks and comments everywhere I go. The engine is relentless like you say. Bullet proof. My only beef, parking the beast, those wheels are kerb magnets too. Its bloody massive. I love it though, best car I've ever had.😁

Great design, great looks, great engine, great gearbox. Great review Matt (you never disappoint) always entertaining 👌👏

Looks great and i love the interior design and exterior design especially in that silver with those alloys. i think the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is really underrated like the Vw Passat CC Facelift even tho this is much more luxurious. Keep up the great work Matt! 😀❤

Had mine over a month. Its an absolute machine. Went from a 520d. It makes me want to drive more. I love it.

Love this video. Had my 640d coupe since 2020 and never had a thought to get rid, it is just so good. For me who used to change cars for fun I never thought I’d have a car I love this much.

The six series oozez luxury and comfort! Such a good looking motor!!

Yoooo thanks for the kilometer conversion!! I always jump out of your videos to calculate and come back! This is amazing! Keep up the good work man!!

When this came out it was stunning and even now it's still gorgeous - personally find it a million times better looking then its hideous predecessor. Also have to agree with you Matt on the fact that this 6 series and the A7 & CLS at the time are 3 amazing looking cars, all 3 which I'd happily buy now

once in a while I come back for having a reassurance on my next dream car.. Always best review material you can get on you tube.

I agree with most of what you said, especially about the driving experience, I had my 640 for about 3 years and hands down the best car I had, pretty cheap to run considering, mine never missed a beat, service every year and all went great.

sold my Msport 640D and got myself a Porsche Panamera ehybrid Sport Turismo, mine was a 2014 6 series and what a wonderful car, drove it belgium, even drove it snow!!

Oh the one i had a few nice extras like the Variable Damper Control, so had the Comfort+ setting and it did make a difference, surround cameras, and to be fair was amazing, i got nearer 30mpg around town and 35+ on motorways, but i think i had a heavy right foot!! Great daily, had it for 4 years on Lease finance, and had £8K in residuals, which i used towards the Porsche! Amazing car for sure!

Dude I have been waiting 3years for you do do a GC review. Mine is a 2014 640d gc msport in carbon black and I love it. Great review 👍👍👍

This is my favorite gran coupe. I love the CLS as well, but the 6 series is German quality at its finest. Great video Matt !!

Always great reviews. You seem to review all the cars I love. Since following your channel I have owned a RR L322 a RR L405, a BMW 530D GT 5 Series, now looking at RR Sport, or now 6 Series Coupe. Cannot fault the honest reviews. Cannot wait to see your next review and perhaps my next car !!😀

Used to have a 640d m sport but not the Gran coupe which is the one I would buy now. I’ve missed it so much and having watched your video I really want another one! Classy looking car, very quick as you rightly said and luxurious. Great review, thank you

Been wanting one of these for ages! Home renovation taking the pennies at the moment but it’s still top of my “want” list.

Jealous at this point, hope to drive this car one day, I've always said that the interior for me was the best and still think it holds well. Great review as always.

Thank you for this, been waiting for you to a review of the 6 series Gran Coupe, always like the look of this car best looking BMW in my opinion. Well no more just thinking about it, think will take the plunge and get one.

I’ve had one for two years. Best car I’ve ever owned. On 80k miles now and never had an issue. Still pulls like a train

I have a 2018 GC and it is the best car I've ever owned. Better than a 7 series with style. Just Love it....

Excellent video Matt, I had a test drive of a 2015 640d last November and couldn't believe how good it was. I drive Clients cars for a living(f/t chauffeur) and have driven hundreds of different vehicles over the past 24 years, so a car has to be really special for me to be impressed! Just missed out on a well spec'd car two weeks ago.

A great BMW review and as always, good fun! Thank you Matt👌

Superb review of a superb car. Great weather too. Best video yet.

Great vid :) Always a pleasure watching your reviews!

Been sat binge watching your reviews, honestly so refreshing to hear someone not put on a voice and just be themselves reviewing cars.

The only white car I’ve ever owner and loved it especially with the glass roof. Brilliant piece of kit, as ever too many are now being chaved out thus diluting an otherwise classy motor 👌

Great review and car. Seriously thinking about one of these. Very helpful summary.

Great review and good advice. I love these. Many thanks.

Always liked your vids! Always just get to the point no fluff!

your videos are really entertaining and informative at the same time! do keep up this amazing content! maybe a Z4 E89 ?

I've been waiting for this kind of you for so long.

I really enjoy your content, insights and humour, always look forward to your videos, they're very natural, not over the top, you're doing an excellent job. You've cracked me up hard with - if passenger in the middle complains, he might find it more comfortable in the boot. But given the space in the middle seat and the boot it isnt so far fetched. Cheers!

Nice motor Matt ,thanks for the video

Another great review Matt . I would love to see your thoughts on the B58 straight six if you get hold of one . In my opinion an absolute masterpiece of an engine in BMW's long line of 6 cylinder engines . Love my 440i .

This is a very stylish and refined BMW. If you are into big 4-door coupe cars, this is the one for you. Great video.

So true about BMW making you feel at home. I’m driving my first one after decades driving other makes and the driving position and feel of the Beemer is superb 👍

You sir, have a way with words which commands respect, you're an artist in the noble sense of the word. I don't need that grand coupe, I have a 2005 XJR and a 1971 riviera. But I keep coming back and listening to your takes. Much obliged. (French guy in WA state) Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

Excellent video Matt, thank you. I love your turn of phrase, and the subtle and oh so classic British sarcasm! :) Have watched quite a few of your videos, the Bentley Continental review is excellent so I was elated to find this. You're 100% spot on about this magnificent 640D. I've owned one for almost 4 years and its truly one of the best cars I've ever had. Really impressed that you mentioned the EGR issue as that is the only issue I've ever had with this magnificent beast. BMW sorted it (EGR cooler) under recall but a year later they stung me with an EGR valve replacement. Not too expensive but once replaced it was soo much quicker and more agile. My previous ride was a 730D which is much the same N57 engine but single turbo, and it had that dreaded accelerator drag, which I put down to it being diesel. The 640D behaves like a petrol engine (and sounds like one!) hit that gas pedal and it surges like a rocket ship - no lag and it handles like a demon - alas, with the right tyres. Dumped the RF rubbish and went non-RF, yuuuge (to paraphrase Trump) difference!

Great video! Thanks Matt

I had the 640 D Xrive in M spec for 2 1/2 years and got to say it’s by far the best car I’ve ever had hands down! Engine is just a perfect mix of speed and silence when needed. Tested Mercedes CLS and Audi A7 before and this was way better almost in all aspects. Good video!

Great review as per usual and great channel. Favourite channel at the moment by a mile. Can’t decide between the 5 series and 6 series for my next car, both review videos on them have helped me a lot👍

Another fab vid Matt !!!!! Brilliant

I'd recently been thinking "why's Matt not done a 640d review yet"🙃 I bought the 640d coupe in October as I've always been drawn to the nicer lines in my opinion. Great car and I always look back at it.

Seen this on Instagram, been looking forward to seeing the video and hearing your thoughts. Great review!

New to your channel but wanted to say I really like your videos - very down to earth and witty. Found you because I was looking for vids on picking up a cheaper E46 but I'm starting to think I missed the boat! Keep it up anyway. :)

Thanks for another great video! I've got a 2012 640d cabrio and I love it. But probably would consider a deal with an X5 or X6 with the same engine. Or even a RR with that 4.4 V8 diesel!

I currently have a 2008 635d coupe and I absolutely love it! If I were to upgrade this would be the car without a doubt.

Great engines those and the 8 speed zf is a masterpiece. I've currently got an f31 335d which shares the same engine. Although I agree they sound great when in sport mode, it is fake! Active sounds make it sound a lot better in the cabin.

Always liked these and fancy one myself. Pushed me to look for one now

I think the term "Timeless" was coined for this car. It looks every bit as fresh as ever and the interior has aged beautifully too. Bloody gorgeous.

Excellent content as usual and well timed, just as I have recently been considering replacing my 5 with one of these! One thing I normally do to gauge risk of issues, is get a quote for BMW insured warranty, a price normally tells you how risky BMW think the vehicle is. A 2015 640i with 36k on the clock comes in at £1200 with £100 excess for the comprehensive warranty, the 640d costs the same. Not bad and less than what I am paying for my 5 which is slightly older.

Keep it going, the best you tube videos!

the review that i have been waiting for so long thank you so so so much👍👍🙏🙏 also would you br able to do the best value for the money in hybrid sector thanks. you are my favourite reviewer with thr practical cars that someone can actually buy 😇😇

Great video as usual, love watching your content 👌

Having had a 645ci for 5 years I was about to buy a 2017 640i grande coupe from a BMW dealer until I saw a familiar RR Vouge SE for sale. The right choice was made with the RR, much to the disgust at BMW, it was a beautiful car with max spec and was perfect on the test drive. No regrets though.

Great video, I have a 2015 facelift coupe. Best car I’ve owned, brilliant daily with all the class and power you need . Tax in Ireland is €400 per year and I’m sure it’s 313bhp.

Very interesting and thorough.review. I thought the interior layout quite unique in some respects - especially the seat design. I should imagine that the two door version you mentioned would have looked terrific, but having owned a BMW coupe, I should imagine opening the door woul need a lot of side space for a fairly large person to get in or out. And yes, a great sound when you in sport mode. It’s one of those cars that will have over the speeds limit before you notice.

I miss my 640, amazing car. Had it for 3 years without any issues….and it looked great. Only annoying thing is the position of the sat nav controller as it keeps getting knocked when you have someone in the passenger seat.

Lovely car Keep putting out these entertaining videos

I didn't realise how much these had depreciated until perusing Autotrader about a month ago and have been on the look out for one since. Coincidentally I was looking at this exact car two minutes before seeing this video. There don't seem to be many silver 640d GCs about. Great car for the money.

Just bought one of these. I'm very impressed with it.

Hi ,Matt the best car I've ever had was the BMW 630d GT M/sport, a hatchback with a huge boot ,superb ZF box,auto hold, it just did everything so well, sunroof as standard, its now gone back and I shed a tear, but last year it took us round Scotland, Norfolk,Wales,and the Cotswolds, when we arrived in Inverness I looked down at the trip and had averaged 54 mpg from Yorkshire. Love your reviews and humour

Love your work 👍

BMW get a lot grief for the looks of their cars these days, but what a fantastic looking car this is. If only I could afford one 😄

Yes mate. One of my dream cars. Good choice of video 😍😍😍🤙

Spoke to you a couple of months ago saying I wanted one of these. the week after 9 months after I began looking, I found one and I'm here sat in mine now watching your video 😂 highly recommend these to people it's a great luxury coupe with plenty of power new they started off at 67k most midspec m sports average at around 75k new.

Been waiting for this

I seriously considered one of these before getting another cheap hot hatch lease. If you get one thats new enough to be ULEZ friendly, in the right spec, its a lovely thing. Those lights and the diamond cut version of the wheels make it look a lot more expensive than it is. A great all round mile muncher, if not particularly special.

I also have just got one in white. I agree with everything you said it is a lovely car.

Great review!! Nice, short and realistic!!

This is a fair and honest test drive presentation about BMW 640d. Mine is 640i with that favorable N55 3 litre twin-scroll single turbo six in-line petrol engine under the bonnet. You are so right by saying that the 640 Gran Coupe is all you need as a daily, cross-country touring car because it was really designed as a GT car, sleek A pillar, frame less doors and soft-closing windows. The styling doesn't look aged even today. Not at all. And it's got enough power from thew classic BMW straight six engine that quietly produce 480 NM at 1500 rpm. Enough space both in the cabin and the boot. That driver focus "waterfall" trimming dash is a nice touch. It's a big car in terms of length and width. But you would feel it quite nimble and agile driving in town. A well serviced one with not so high mileage on the dial would be a bargain for such a good looking car that not many other brand can come close with that much of an offer.

I've not long bought an E60 550i. Figured it was perhaps my last chance to own a big, V8 engined performance saloon before Greta and her cronies get their way. Could have stretched to an M5, but the maintenance would have killed me. Very, very impressed so far. Yes, I know there are a couple of expensive jobs in the post (stem seals, coolant transfer pipe etc), as bigger family car (which is what I was instructed to buy 😂😂😂), it's brilliant.

Nearly bought one of these but went for a Ghibli S instead. Has to be one of the best bang for buck motors out there.

Absolutely super looking motor, for me top of the podium of the three you mention. By the way, another good review Matt!

I love my 640d gran coupe , 178k and still drives like it’s done 50k !!! Absolutely love it .

I thought these were the most ridiculous cars when they first came out but in true BMW fashion the design grows on you and now love them!

We've had our 650ix LCI convertible for 4 years now and it has been perfectly reliable. It's now done approximately 46000km (28000 miles) and has only seen the dealer for the service. In my opinion the V8 is the only appropriate engine (at least for the convertible).

Great car, I have 2015 coupe fine for the kids in back occasionally, great all rounder. Only gripe I have is the comfort of the seats in front, this is the second 640d I've owned - so good I bought a second better speced!) but my partner and I both suffered terrible back ache, you would think so adjustable this isn't possible but there's no lumbar support. I briefly owned a Mercedes e350 and the seats very infinitely better just cupped you perfectly no adjusting required. Still didn't put me off buying another 640d just need lumbar cushions. A sunroof is a must if you can find one makes a real difference! Lovely car.

I remember looking at one of these in a used car dealers showroom several years ago, and I thought it was one of the best-looking cars I had ever seen. Very expensive too! It was a nice shade of green. I never imagined these large saloons with a diesel, and I doubt you could get one over here. I've had a Peugeot turbodiesel and a Mercedes 300d turbodiesel. The cars were nice but the engines really were crap. That one sounds like it would be worth having.

Love these, this the A7 and CLS all look stunning... the interior of the CLS is dated and let's it down now which is a shame, the 640 inside and out is timeless

Hi matt What a underated car that is mate ? Not many around though do remains it's exclusivity ? 😍👍lovely car bit in the salesman bracket though will struggle on most drives and car parks so not a day to day more ofice to office ❤👍keep them coming and stay safe 👍

All the latest BMW 6 series are stunning in whatever guise they come in

Excellent video. Makes such a change to get a balanced opinion without dozens of jokes and stupid humour (also refreshing to not have to be told about glovebox size and water bottle storage capacity, no offence matt watson). I've just subscribed

I went for the Cls and love it. Only thing that put me off with the 640d was all the ones I went to view the seats was all worn out.

"run it on premium fuel!" Could be a new t-shirt in your merch store... I'd have one🤣 could apply to our bodies also

Brilliant review. I love mine. Its by far the best car Ive owned.

I've had my 2014 F06 640d for 5 years and done 75k in it, best car I have owned. With 115k on the clock it's near bullet proof, drives just the same as the day I bought it, and has never let me down. Ticks every box apart from ULEZ. Struggling to find anything I want to replace it with to get into London.

The new B58 straight 6 petrol engine is excellent. It revs extremely fast, has loads of torque (even at low rpms) and plenty of power too.

Love my 640 d gran coupe especially now it's been remapped 😃

640i GC owner here (one of 22 according to How Many Left). Fantastic car. I’ve owned 911s in the past but with kids, this is the only way to travel (apart from the L322). You have to work it harder than the 640d but it sounds so much better and doesn’t smell. I see 30 mpg average so the diesel wins on that of course but I don’t do huge mileage. The 8 is undoubtedly good but just doesn’t look the part somehow. Keep up the good work.
