I HAD never driven a 6-series BMW before. A quick straw poll of my friends (not that I have that many of them) indicates that this remains one of the must-have cars right now and I wanted to find out if the car was worth the hype.
Lead scientist Carlo Leifert said last week that the findings to date indicated the organic crops contained 20-40% more antioxidants--believed to ward off cancer and more iron and zinc.Also there are new alloy wheel designs and a third high-level brake light on the boot lid. Active head restraints are also now standard across the range.A twin-turbo, 282bhp 3.0-litre diesel joins the range. The 635d is the first diesel-powered 6-series and despite vast improvements in fuel economy of its petrol siblings it still moves like a 6- series, 0-100km/h in 6.3 seconds and 250km/h flat out.I got my chance when BMW decided to make a raft of changes to the car for the 2008 model year. There are a host of small cosmetic changes to the exterior which includes some new colours and a mild redesign of the rear end to make it look less weighty. At the front a new headlight arrangement features clear lenses and LED technology, a new front valance, a front air intake and a larger front grille.The findings could force the agency to change its advice to consumers and recognise the health benefits of organic produce.It is worth noting that the 630i is now more economical as well as boasting lower emissions. Obviously, you want one.The 635d Coupe is EUR110,600 (ex-works) while the 635d Sport is EUR115,075 (ex-works) while the entry level 630i is EUR102,000 (ex- works).I drove both the 635d and the 630i and I am pleased to report that while I have no idea what the old car felt like, these two cars were very pleasant things to drive indeed.
