I aimed big from the beginning and made sure I had the patience. I believe in buying something which will not push me in to boredom anytime soon. An interim upgrade would have put me in that situation.

Honestly, lost for words. I would love to hear the other side of the story. How did you manage your finances and numbed the urge for so many years?
As much as the car is special that you got, I am quite sure this story will be equally fascinating.

All said and done, congrats on the 6. Brilliant color as well.

It is fascinating for me when I look back. Like I said, I did not want to get something which would push me to boredom real quick. And when it comes to finance, I planned for this and my wife supported me. Without her support this would have stayed as a dream for some more years.

Congratulations on getting the most practical upgrade from the bmw stable along with a fun to drive engine gearbox combo. Btw how was the showroom guys reaction when you went to TD the car in your maruti 800. 😄

oh man, the classy review of the car class apart!
I see that you have evaluated a car costing Rs16lac and ended up buying a car costing above of a crore (atleast where i live)
Keeping money aside - Enjoy the ride man. Wishing you another decade and a half of stressfree miles.
And I hope the acquisition of this engine and transmission combination some day.

Man, that's one heck of an upgrade. It's just like playing gully cricket one day and the next day setting foot in Eden gardens with full gear on in front of a full house. That's a lovely looking car, wish you many happy miles of joy.

Unbelievable upgrade to say the least. Going straight to that car from a 800, well you must have been shell shocked. Enjoy the ride. Really inspiring read.

Am sure you're tired of reading tall the superlatives on this thread, but WOW! That is one helluva upgrade mate, many many congratulations to you. The BMW is my dream machine and I hope to have a Bimmer in may garage one day, I will keep coming back to this thread for inspiration! Cheers and wish you many many miles of JOY with this absolute beauty!

Hearty Congratulations Rachet! Wow !!! , your thread will keep many readers wondering for ever .... I am one of them for sure.

I have few questions as I am too curious to understand this phenomena. You may completely avoid to answer if you don't find them appropriate.

1) Maruti 800 and BMW 6-Series GT 630 d have only "one" thing common in them and that is both are cars , how did you manage to gather courage to change your profile of spending , lifestyle , driving etc. so much without any hesitation.

2) If you have managed to buy such an expensive car now then I am sure you had enough funds earlier also to buy less expensive but much better ( than M800 ) cars in the past , it would be interesting to know what stopped you then.

3) How your parents , relatives ,neighbors , friends are reacting to expensive acquisition of yours

Many congratulations and wishing you millions of miles of sheer driving pleasure.

Congratulation Ratchet. M800 to a BMW GT 630d; Now that is one Giga upgrade i should say. It just looks killer in any pose. Please do post more pics. Wishing you many more Happy miles with the Beast.

[SR-71]

Lovely car & lovely color. I am sure she is a joy to ride. Share more pictures and your experience with the car.

[vj123]

Congrats on your new ride and that's a quite an upgrade.

I enjoyed reading your whole experience and wishing you happy miles.

[JoshMachine]

Amazing and revolutionary are the 2 words that come to my mind.

Amazing = choice of car that you have got here. Very few cars in that segment can hold a candle to the 6 GT.
Revolutionary = the absolute patience and the will that you exhibited over the multiple years to get to this point in your life.

Kudos!

[mkc15]

Amazing story and what a car! Congratulations and enjoy.

One question on GC of 520/530d. How does 5 compare to your 6GT on the roads you test drove them?

[Livnletcarsliv]

One hell of a kind new buy upgrade @Rachet. Kudos and hats off to your untold living style2.
I'm sure your wishes have already come true to many - "helping at least one person in his/her buying journey".
