how can you compare both cars? my F06 was basically fully loaded, extended nappa leather (dashboard, armrest etc...), i LOVED THE ALCANTARA HEADLINER, great stock sound system, not so comfortable seats honestly... that's how i remember the interior,
when it comes to the power it was good enough, i hadd acc, nightvision, msport, HUD, etc...
Thank you!

For the short time I had the F06, it was great. Like yours, it had a lot of toys and was such a nice and luxurious place to sit. The engine was great, plenty of power and after a stage 1 tune it was more enjoyable to drive. Prior to the F06 I had a F30 335d xDrive. The thing I found with that was I found it quite cramped in the cabin (coming from an F10 before but at the time I wanted a 35d engine and the F10 535d was out of my budget). With the F06, I missed having xDrive as it sometimes struggled to put the power down and was a bit of a handful.

Fast forward to now and I feel that the G30 was the car I should of bought instead of the F06. When the F06 went into the dealer for a service and I saw this 540i - it felt like this is the car for me! Got talking to the salesman and I was given an offer that I couldn't say no to. Of course I took a little hit, but even after 11 months and 8,000 miles I put on it, I was happy with what I was given for a part ex. I don't regret my decision and I still have a smile on my face every time I get in the car.

The 6 series is a great car but I don't think I gelled with it as much as I thought I would.
