Have BMW ever made a really, really good car??
I don't think they have!
Thinking back, the 6 Series was a piece of rubbish.
I DO remember those being rotten at 4 years old!!
Thank God for the Italians to build a decent car.
Funny how my 28 year old Merc has no rust though!!

That complete kack
Mercs rust way more than BM's do always have dun, We have had 98 and 99 year with rust on the panels at work and the trim is kack.
The 6 is a great car and one off the best BMW's ever. Fact
Tha Alfas are good cars, but you need the AA or some sort off cove to get you home cuss thay will break down. thay rust more than untreated steal.
My m30 is on 170K and runs like a dream with no oil barning, and have never had a welders torch near it {yet}
BMW are better made cars. better than merc's and far better than Alfas. I see a lot of cars and it the Alfa that laging behined.
and if you all wash your cars propley thay would not rust

Absolutely!! :-)
But a 6 Series expert will say it's cloth, not draylon!
Sold it yesterday for £2200, but enjoyed owning it.
A mint one owner 22k 450SL? Yours for £16'000.
Never painted, rusted, welded.
After all, that's about 3 Highlines. Start saving!!!
Mind you, at Geordie wages I can't wait 20 years!!!!!

You should know! So, why did you buy one then? Did the blue Draylon interior remind you of your mothers 3-piece suite?

"985000 kms 3,5 l engine taken from a 735i and still
running good despite the last oil change done at
about 200000kms...)"
So let me get this right............
An old M30 engine with 600'000 miles.
Running on the same oil for 440'000 miles.
And still running eh?
About as likely as a rotten 4 year old BMW.
What's Italian for 'Comedy?'.
.........Or a load of rubbish!!!!

Fransesco
it seems the discussion drifted from the theme - and dare i say your last point is right. But here goes the answer to your initial question
I have an 87 635csi exactly the same colour and it;s -as per the papers that come with the car- cirrus blue.

Would that be like your "lovely" £1800 635 then?

Oh yes they do!!! My brothers '99 Merc CLK has had warranty work done on the rear arches & is now getting a new front wing!!!
Also, there are any number of E36 owners who've found the rust bug hasn't been banished completely.

Free your mind and our minds...I think that anyone has got his own "rubbish" and own opinions about BMWs, Alfas, the other brands , what you 've seen , what I've seen( the rust I saw on a 4years old E39, or the 985000 kms 3,5 l engine taken from a 735i and still running good despite the last oil change done at about 200000kms...) ,and so on ...

Free Your mind and the other member ones....again. You believe I wrote unbelievable things , I believe you wrote not only in the wrong discussion , but in the wrong Forum..
I think (logically:if I was you,but i have a BMW...)you should have to write these comments on a very good and "rust free" ALFA ROmeo Forum, isn't it? There are a lot of forum about that brand, If you want I can send you a e-mail with dozens of links....Just let me know....

Unlike that rusty BMW junk.

Dear friend, I have a lot of bmw mates in Germany with that problem on their latest bmw( E39 520i 528i 525tds or 525d tourings...)...believe it or not , I don't mind, But i also had to see to beleive....

It's the sad truth....
Ady wrote also:"German cars rust less as they use far less road salt"
Are you sure?But really really really sure??????
I spent a lot of time in Scotland , last years... I ensure You that german autobahn, when the weather is really bad, the autobahns are more white for the chemical salt than for the snow....Then They use also a newer kind of tarmac (the "auto-draining " asphalt), to improve driving also under very bad conditions....the only complaint is that snow chains ruin this asphalt , and stone chips on german cars are very deep( so the rust went on....)
