Very enjoyable to drive but really a 2 seater

2012 BMW 6 Series 650i 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 6M)
I truly enjoy driving this car. The handling and acceleration are wonderful. Exhilarating. was disappointed that Android Auto is not enabled, but I can connect via Bluetooth. Tire wear does appear to be a concern as there is a sticker from BMW on the windshield to expect 20k or less. When tires run more than $1300/set of 4 it is a consideration for cost of maintenance. There is … also no spare, so get run flats or risk getting stuck. At my height, no one can sit behind me, and as long as your passenger is small, you could travel with 2 passengers. No one buys this car to share the experience with more than one, and I love my BMW. I would buy it again. It is a wonderful car to drive and makes me smile every day.
Awesome

2012 BMW 6 Series 650i 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 6M)
I currently own a 750il and a Range Rover Supercharged.
And I have had other vehicles like the Mercedes 320CLK convertible.
But I must say, next to the RR, the new 650 convertible is the best car I have ever owned.
I wanted the 2011 model, but felt it was just a tad too small for me.
But the enlarged the new model signficantly and redesigned many signficant features.
It drives like a … big car and a sports car.
Its sexy and really fun to drive.
Very fast and love the rumble of the exhaust.
The app option is great as I can listen to Pandora on my iPhone
Very fast.
And if you set the ride to comfort, it drives smooth and comfy.
More so than the 750i. I highly recommend this car.
Always will own one

Second 650i convertible owner. I'll own them as long as they make them. (which, unfortunately, ended Feb of this year). For a convertible, there's less road noise then a hard top, sound in speakers is great, going 80 feels like you're driving 40, no squeaks or leaks in the roof. This car is a 2012 with zero issues. As any luxury car, you can expect a high maintenance bill, but don't … get one if you can't afford it. Just make sure you take it to a BMW dealership and you're covered. Warranty does cover any electrical and mechanical issues - anything outside of wear and tear. The only thing to watch for is the convertible. My last one (I was 3rd owner) had a big top stopping mid-way issue which, although covered by warranty, they wouldn't cover until it was "adjusted", which came out of my pocket. When I asked "what the *** is an "adjustment"? they told me it was the responsibility of the owner to "adjust" the sensors before they will repair anything. I told them being the 3rd owner, how was I supposed to know this? Where in the BMW manual does it say this? Arguing with a warranty company is comparable to banging your head against a brick wall, so I ended up having to pay $900 out of pocket for something that failed, AGAIN, a few weeks later, that, yes, had to be fixed, which I had to pay another $300 for the warranty deductible, but they did fix. I still don't understand what happened, but be weary of that. (side story: I'm also a lifetime Miata owner/fan with 3 under my belt. I'm an original 2004 mazdaspeed owner and not once has that car been in the shop - lesson? The more electronics you have in a car, the more problems you'll have) Anyway, back to this car, since the 2007, the 2012, has definitely fixed a lot of its electronic glitches and what appeared to be transmission "jumping" in my 07, is now gone in my 12. The newer models are a lot less frustrating and way more user friendly. And VERY fast.
Thoroughly Impressed!

I traded in my M3 convertible and purchased the 2012 650i.
I went with the M3 in 2008 because the design of the previous model was just not to my taste but the 2012 model definitely turns heads.
The 650 isnt the sports car the M3 was, but it more than makes it up in comfort and design.
Dont get me wrong, the 4.4-liter, 32-valve 400-hp V-8 engine with TwinPower Turbo is plenty enough … for any road in the US (excluding race tracks) for most drivers and enthusiasts.
It is definitely a great balance of power, performance, gadgetry, and style.
Much better than the previous model.
