2005 Bmw 645ci Base Coupe 2-door 4.4l on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States

AOL wrote an excellent review (below) on this model that describes the vehicle perfectly - please read the entire review to know this car. The BMW 6 Series delivers stellar performance, brilliant
handling, and that arrow-like stability that marks this marque. The 6 Series is a true grand touring car,
unique in the BMW line-up, and qualify as an ultimate driving machine, yet can
be driven all day in perfect comfort. They
offer greater luxury and comfort than the Z4 sports car, yet with higher
performance, more agile handling, and sportier styling than the 5 Series sports
sedans. Options on this model include: heated front seats ($500); head-up display
($1,000); the Sport Package ($2,800) adding active steering, 19-inch sport
wheels with run-flat tires, and sport seats; and a Premium Sound Package
($1,800) includes Logic7 audio with six-disc CD changer. Leather upholstery, a choice of rich interior trim, and a
long list of luxury features are standard, including a sports suspension,
18-inch wheels, xenon adaptive headlamps, and park-assist. It comes standard with adaptive headlamps that
aim toward the inside of a corner as the steering wheel is turned. This helps
throw light around bend when cornering, reducing shadows and improving
visibility for the driver. The iDrive system features a big knob mounted on the center
console that controls navigation, the audio system, climate controls, and other
secondary functions. Various functions
can be selected by sliding the big knob left or right, forward or aft, then
turning it like a knob to work through menus displayed on a monitor on the
center stack, and pressing down on the knob to select options. The head-up display projects speed,
navigational information, cruise control status and other data onto the
windshield. The trunk is relatively large and can hold two sets of golf
clubs. The BMW badge on the rear serves as the latch for the trunk. The trunk
lid pops open fully when the button on the remote key fob is pressed. BMW's 4.4-liter V8 delivers 325 horsepower and 330
pound-feet of torque. The 3,781-pound
coupe with the six-speed manual gearbox transmission can accelerate from 0 to
60 mph in 5.5 seconds, according to BMW. The manual gearbox is smooth and precise, easy
to shift, with easy clutch pedal effort; it's lighter than the six-speed used
in the BMW M3. In short, the six-speed
manual is an excellent choice. The
32-valve V8 benefits from Valvetronic variable valve timing and variable lift;
breathing is controlled entirely by the valves. (Technically, there is no
throttle, so the pedal on the right is more accurately called an accelerator.) It's a fascinating engine for engineers and
car buffs with technological marvels such as its Double VANOS steplessly
variable intake- and exhaust-valve timing. But the bottom line is that there's lots of
power throughout the rev range, so the 645Ci responds quickly and precisely in
any situation. It's also an efficient
engine, so energy is not wasted but is instead channeled into fuel-efficient
power. The engine sounds great, emitting
a guttural roar under hard acceleration through its nicely tuned exhaust
system. The 6 Series cars ride lower than the 5 Series. A 645Ci is
absolutely joyful on a winding road. Handling is precise, with a superb
self-centering feel to the steering. It
goes around high-speed turns like it's on rails. It can be driven very hard into tight corners.
The suspension is tuned to minimize
undesirable behavior when braking hard, accelerating hard, or lifting off the
gas while cornering. Active Roll
Stabilization dramatically reduces body roll in cornering. As the car turns corners, the anti-roll bars
are twisted by little hydraulic motors, so the 645Ci leans very little, even in
hard cornering. In addition to
increasing driver confidence, the system improves handling over bumps,
increases cornering capability, and improves steering response. |

Cafe racer motorbikes storm Japan
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Japan may be best known, at least among motorcycle enthusiasts, for its sport bikes. But as we found at the Tokyo Motor Show this year, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are capable of producing all kinds of motorbikes. And to our delight, that includes cafe racers.
Along with the myriad electric bikes, dirt bikes, crotch rockets and scooters, the halls of Tokyo's Big Site convention center this year were full of the retro-infused rides we love. Chief among them was the Bolt (shown above) which Yamaha exhibited alongside their various electric two-wheelers, sporting a delicious metallic blue paintjob, inverted handlebars and hanging mirrors, machined metal bits, blacked-out trim and saddle brown leatherwork.
Honda was also on hand with a new EX version of its '70s-style CB1100 retro roadster in sinister and low-key matte black. And this was our first chance to check out BMW Motorrad's new birthday present to its 90-year-old self, the R NineT, a model recently unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. But one of the most amusing retro rides we came across was the Honda Monkey Limited, a mini bike that makes the new 125cc Grom (which was displayed alongside it) look positively gigantic.
New European charging network will offer speeds up to 350 kW
Tue, Nov 29 2016It's about to get easier to fast-charge your electric vehicle across Europe thanks to four major automakers working together in a new joint venture. BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Ford, and the VW Group (Audi and Porsche) have all signed a Memorandum of Understanding to install about 400 DC fast charging sites in Europe. As you may know, there are different types of fast chargers, but the ones that this group is talking about installing will be able to charge an EV in much less time than other stations. That's because these chargers will offer power levels of "up to 350 kW." Compare that to what's generally considered the current gold standard, the Tesla Superchargers, which have rates of up to 145 kW and a statement not that long ago from a Ford exec that suggested that 150 kW chargers would be the new normal. Of course, the Tesla chargers use the company's proprietary connector and the new network the JV is setting up will use the CCS standard. The first new stations will go up in 2017 and those 400 sites are just the beginning. A joint statement by the JV says that EV drivers will "have access to thousands of high-powered charging points" by 2020 along highways and main roads. "The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refueling at conventional gas stations," the companies said. While not every electric vehicle will be able to take advantage of the 350 kW charging rate, the companies involved would be silly to build the infrastructure without vehicles that can handle that kind of energy flow. The JV says it would welcome participation from other automakers and will cooperate with interested regional partners.

Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo offers Europeans a pre-M3 performance 3er
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Anyone that's spent some time behind the wheel of the Alpina B7 probably knows enough to understand what Americans are missing with this, newly launched Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo. We've got no lack of M models to choose from, it's true, but the Alpina touch offers a completely different driving character, with almost as much performance. A pity then that Alpina has no plans that we've heard of to bring this one across the pond.
Filling the gap between the current 3 Series offerings and the outgoing M3 (we're not likely to even see the new M3 and M4 until September's Frankfurt show, nor be able to buy one until after that), the B3 Bi-Turbo brings serious performance to the F30 3er. As the name indicates, two turbochargers are used to force-feed BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six engine, for a total output of 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. That power offers a big jump from even the BMW 335i sedan, and will push the B3 to 62 miles per hour in just 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 190 miles per hour. Alpina's own sport suspension underpins the thing, while the power is modulated by way of a eight-speed automatic transmission.
The new B3 will be easily recognizable thanks to its "Classic" 20-inch, 20-spoke Alpina wheels, and a rather subtle, aero-enhancing body kit. No pricing has yet been announced, but you will find a host of additional information in the attached Alpina press release below.
