    Cars - again!

    Right, forgetting the other thread, does anyone have or have had a BMW 6 series coupe (2006 onwards) - Either Petrol or Diesel?

    Are they any good?

        Why do you think there are more 3 series on the road than Mondeos when they cost twice as much? Quality, that's why. Sasguru wouldn't know quality if it hit him at 155 mph.

          Company car tax and ze Germans sell them cheap to leasing companies. A BMW can hardly be described as "Quality".

              Not all of you though, Mr Sockmeister.
              And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

                Why do you think there are more 3 series on the road than Mondeos when they cost twice as much? Superior Marketing, that's why. Sasguru wouldn't know quality if it hit him at 155 mph.
                Somehow BMW managed to take a situation where motoring journos sneered at the Ford Sierra for being the last rear-wheel drive car in its class and make into one where charging twice as much for an equivalent product that is more common that the Ford of the same size works.

                Before BMW marketing gurus twiddled with everything, a two or three door car was poeverty spec - now they actually charge more for fewer doors.

                It is all smoke and mirrors and more fool anyone who pays the premium because of their own self-esteem issues.

                  Beofer BMW amrket gurus twiddled with everything, a two or three door car was poeverty spec - now they actually cahrge more for fewer doors. It is all smoke and mirrors.
                  For once I agree with you. But ad-men and marketers always have people like Dim who believe them.
