Welcome Pope - good to see that you've got some decent motors to hoon around in at the end of the month when you retire.  :devil: or  O:-) ?

I've often fancied the idea of a 2nd hand 635d - they've quite a few examples at bigmotoringworld.co.uk - a lot of car for the money and I like the idea of a fast economical cruiser that the kids can comfortably sit in.

Cheers for that  I've had the 6 for two years now and I love it.
Had it remapped to 330hp & shit loads of torque.  >:D

6'er needs lowering though as the gap is bigger than on my X5.....

Hi and  (again) Pope.  I had a 630i for a year a little while back and really enjoyed the car, found it great for chilling.

I tried a 630i and thought it was good, until I drove the 635d. 35mpg and all that instant thrusting torque  did it for me.

Welcome.

Bit of an old 6 though being a 98

Nice Ducati, the only bike I've ever been on.

Couple of friends have them.

The 6 is a 2008..

Here's the Duc

And to those I haven't quoted. Thanks for the warm welcome..

Newsflash

I've traded in my trusty little X3, for rather nice X5 35dSE
Picking it up on Friday..yay.

Hi and welcome, your Ducati is very nice

I've always been a fan of larger diesels but in this case, the funds wouldn't stretch to the 635d at the time.  The six was purchased as a weekend car and when we first started looking the budget was £10k, but before long it was over £20k, so had to stop pushing the budget!  ::)

Congratulations on a good looking motor.  Lots of fun ahead.

Yes welcome. 330bhp - is that all?    O:-)

Excellent new addition, enjoy picking it up

I opted on economy over performance with the current map.
But it's the extra torque that's rips it. At 635nm torque, that's more than 100nm more than a M5/M6

Trouble is with that much torque at such low revs, I find it very difficult to launch it off the lights without monster wheel spin. :blink:

You fell into my trap. Imagine 385hp and 750 newts )))))

Or 300bhp/tonne which is even more fun....

Blimey.. :blink:. though at least that power/torque is divided by 4, so thats er..187.5nm per wheel.

As opposed to 317.5nm per wheel on my 635... :'(

All sorted and ready for blast off tomorrow evening....bring it on..
