A few folks that have been knocking around these forums for a while will know that the manual gearbox in the 630i is big part of the temptation of that car for me. I did a deal on a 2005 manual back in 2012 but the partner of the seller totalled it the day after we shook hands on a deal and I've had a faint hankering for one since. They are a rare beast, especially as AUC.
The 640i is an interesting curve-ball idea, and I do like the f12. The only petrol 640 option on the VRT Calculator is an f12 SE and VRT seems to be a bit stiff. An EU6 2015 640d would only be a little more for VRT. Either is approx 5x the VRT of the e63.
