I've owned both the U.S. and the euro 635, and what Dan says is true. The euro 6 is considerably faster. The suspension is different too. I don't know the details, but the euro suspension is stiffer and the car sits perhaps an inch higher.

If you like the 5-way adjustable seats in the U.S. version though, I've got bad news: The euro 6 has manual seats. Now for me, that's a plus; I don't care for the fancy U.S. seats and don't want more things to fix. However, a lot of guys have told me they like the power seats.

Incidentally I never had problems getting parts for the euro 6, so don't let that be a factor in your decision.

The euro bumpers are MUCH better looking than the U.S. ones, IMHO. Here's hoping they work as well!

And finally, the german labeling on all the instrumentation is a very cool ... fun to point out to people!
