BMW vs MB - Cabriolet
We have been toying with the idea of replacing the 1999 SL 500 with a more modern, technically advanced, all wheel drive, slightly more powerful cabriolet.
The 4Matic drive train was missing from the E and C Class line ups for a while. We came across a 2012 BMW 6 Series 650i xDrive Convertible currently for sale in our area. On doing some research it seems like BMW had a lot of what we currently seek - going on with this new series, back then. - 400 hp (bumped to 450 in 2013 & on) - 450 ft-lbs (480 in 2013) - 4.4 Liter, mV8, bi-turbo - 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 sec (4.2 in 3013) - 8 speed transmission - all wheel drive - soft top - Nav - Heads up, drivers assist - 16 speaker sound - $ 35,000 Cdn ($ 26,000 USD) I have to pay up for a 2017 E Class + C Class to get such features We have been a loyal MB family since 2002 and am seeking advice from those who have experience with both brands. Thoughts? |
6 series is a great looking car. I would caution you to look up BMW N63, especially 2012.

Thanks for the info. |
We cross shopped 3 and 6 series in 2016, Wife just didn't like all the tech in the BMW, she found MB easier to use... That 6 series if i remember correctly has very little room in the back seat, whereas as the MB was quite useful, as in if I move the seat up i can still drive with someone behind me, im 6-2.
