M635csi vs 840ci...(That is a TOUGH one!) (archive)

I have a Euro M635csi. It sits next to an 850 at work every day. I love them both, but in the corners a (stock) 8 series just won't hang. I suppose the M635 was technically not "stock," however!

For WOW factor, I say E31. It's a twelve cylinder, and was just so damn expensive, it made everyone wish again.

For YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA! factor, I will stick with my e24 M635csi. As for feedback, I am in the process of adding a Supertrapp and Thrush glasspack in lou of the muffler/resonator. It is supposed to make her sound meaner than a Lambo! Whe someone who relly knows what to look for sees my 6 car, they always beg me to see the engine. The fact that a straight six can put out 300hp is phenominal.

Perhaps if the twelve had been offered in a less "tuned down" version (yes,even than the Csi!), I would give the E31 more credit. I am more impressed with some of the Dinan 840's I have come across! What machines Dinan crafts! WOW!

Regardless, when I can aford one with all the goodies I'd like to installm my garage will have an M635 AND an Dinan 850csi! As for now, I just hope I can keep my license long enough to get there!
