The delay has been due to some work I,ve done since buying the car about a month ago :- new alpina wheels & tyres, both rear lenses, rear mudflaps, ( front ones have arrived from Germany & I am painting the brackets before fittment ), front end painted, it was,nt bad just a few stone chips, front number plate holder. Complete flat & polish to liven up the seventeen year old paintwork. It,s been 10 years since I last owned a six series & I must say it,s been worth the long wait! cheers.......DAT |

Impressive, don't see many black ones. What size of Alpinas do you have ? Did you manage to get original front mud flaps ? |

Looks like 8x17" from where I'm sitting. Then again, W&N still sell the original 7x16" front / 8x16" rear |

Wheel sizes are 8 1/2 / 17 front & 9 1/2 / 17 rear. Front mudflaps are original part from www.wallothnesch.com This company is based in Germany & they buy up all old stock of new parts from dealers around the world. I have eta to thank for suggesting site. |

It,s about light of the same amount of money as if I had bought a new Ford or Vauxhall, well worth it I think! |

After close inspection; that has to be one of the best 635's Ive ever seen, It is a very lovely car. The only fault I can find is to the latter section of your driveway! |

Looks cracking. Can't wait to see it in the metal.
I'd better get the polish out . . . |

Cheers for the comments lads. With regard to the driveway I can only say it matches quite a lot of the house, I am mid term into refurbishment but buying the six before completion means that time is being spent on the car & work on the house has had to suffer. It,s all about priorities, you all know what I mean! |

Just noticed the Shogun hiding away behind the Six.
You must do a bit of tarmac-ing on the side then ![]() Lovely car though. When the new 6 came out I went to a suit and tie launch at my dealer and there was a gloss black Highline in with the new one. More people were looking at the original...... Can't say the new 6 does anything for me at all, as good as they undoubtedly are. At least they don't have Metric wheels. ![]() |

Car looks brilliant in the photos, can you explain the term flattening of the paintwork , What does this do ? I have heard of the term when looking at Bimmer magazine but then it was with reference a new car and orange peel, surely if you flatten the highs of the paint you therefore remove the metallic element in the paint ?
