6 Series Facelift

jamieh

Hi all,

My dad is in the market for a second hand 6 series at the moment.

He has looked at a few 07's, but someone told me that a facelift model came out in late 07-08.

Does anyone know what the differences are between the facelift vs older model?

Would it affect resale value much in say 2-3 years if u had the older model as opposed to facelift?

Facelift was a subtle as they get...Google is great for this stuff...;)

Much of the facelift focuses on lighting. The new taillights look familiar, but are now fully LED-illuminated, and the third brake light is now integrated into the spoiler lip. The lower reflectors and reverse lights are longer. Up front, BMW's Angel Eyes now provide Daytime Running Light function, a la 3-series coupe, and the turn signals integrated into the headlights are LED units in an alternating, checker-board layout. The fog lights are mounted further outward to emphasize the car's width.

The vertical portion of the trunklid is more concave than before, two new paint colors will be offered (Deep Sea Blue and Space Grey) and new rims are standard. Cars with the optional, revised six-speed automatic transmission receive BMW's new, controversial electronic shifter. New interior trim colors (Chateau Red and Saddle Brown) round out the visual changes.

Buyers purchasing automatic-transmission 6-series can now specify BMW's Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, which can bring the car to a complete halt, decelerating at up to 0.5g. BMW's lane departure warning system, familiar from the 5-series, is also newly available, and will vibrate the steering wheel if sensors determine that the car is drifting out of its lane.

Finally, BMW has added optional iPod and USB jacks that allow MP3 players to be controlled through the iDrive controller and steering-wheel buttons.

You'll also find the efficient dynamics engines. The 650 replaced the 645, more power and more efficient.

Nice looking car - the only current BMW I like the look of.
