:rollsmile:

It is in fact me, the car belongs to one of my favourite clients and I have offered to help him sell this absolute beauty.

The car is stunning, just wish he would give me the keys for a week so i can truly experience the drive. :idea:

Oh, if any of the Fanatics here can refer me to a buyer with a successful deal, remuneration in the form of a R2500 spotters fee will occur. :thumbs:

Why does it say 645i in the add but there is a 650i badge on the back? :nonono:

 

[Mike1]

Did you read the whole ad or just go straight for the pictures?

 

[herr bmw]

why did he put 650i badge on in the first place?

why did he put 650i badge on in the first place?

Why do BMW put a 4.0d badge on a 3.0d engine or now even 550d and its a 3.0 engine?

IIRC, the new tri turbo one, the M550d

[herr bmw]

still confussed,just put what is under the bonnet,if 3.0l the 330i etc

 

[Rolf]

Its been "wrongly labeled" long time before when a 318i actually was a 2.0 and so on....

Just this time its the other way 'round

I guess once you start adding turbo's in the mix, the engine capacity does not give a proper reflection of performance any more. On a related note, the E90 320i should be the 301i ...

Did you read the whole ad or just go straight for the pictures?

I read the whole add and then saw the pic. So if there is going to be confusing from the start why post a close up pic of the badge? Rather just don't and then there is no confusion.

 

[Rolf]

Why blame poor Mike for that?

I'm sure there are people out there who get a "soft off" seeing this......

I'm not blaming anyone, if I were in the market and saw this one it would just look dodgy and I would not even bother to call.

LOL ... not everthing is negative! (Should have added a smilie on above post)

Haha you are probably right :rollsmile:

 

[Clownshoe]

When BMW started turboing they reasoned that the badge should reflect the equivalent NA output.

 

[Rolf]

Everything can be explaint this or that way :biglol:
