MAybe b/c its new, but, I am telling you never have so many people come up to me and told me how gorgeous a car is, EVER! Doesn't look anything like a sebring nor does it have e-class parts wrapped in a $24k Chrysler 300M Everytime I get the car washed everyone comes around and loves it. Not that it means anything, but, this car gets more looks and thumbs up then ANY car I have ever owned. Although because of the driver, most girls look anyway I think it is a gorgeous car, at least that's my opinion. Its just easier for everyone to join the BMW design hater bandwagon. Oh and that I-drive is just soooo hard to get

I don't know why you would ask if you already have a 645 but I agree with both posts above. Get the Z8.

Roy

ps. Personally, I think the 645 is butt ugly, literally. Front and sides aren't bad, a bit boring, the rear is just hideous imo...

Not a fan of the new 6. I think it looks aweful from the front. I AM a fan of the look of the 7. I just can't say I like the new 6.

Even as a fan and advocate of the 6er, if you are looking for a convert get the Z8. You will be able to find a nice example for around $90 grand, not too far off from a new 645Cic and a lot more car IMO.....

Just throw a nice set of rims on it, and you'll be all set!

It is a long involved story on my 645ci. It is simply a 2-3month car which I can pretty much get out of at any time for what I paid. I figure I already have a coupe(2004 911 TT) so, why not get a convertible for summer. Thanks for the input.

Lou

Keep the opinions coming, really value your opinions. Thanks

No real decision here. Get the Z8. I had a Silver 2001 Z8 W/Red and Black and as of now this is the only car I have ever regretted selling. I will have another one one day.

GET THE Z8!!!
