2004 BMW 6 Series 645Ci 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I love my car. I love that fact that you don't see one everyday. My problem is my car has been back for service 4 times 4 mths. 4x for the flat tire monitor. Its in the shop now and has been there for a week. My A/C comes on by itself, sometimes the window goes back down when you roll it up and the radio has frozen up three times. This car was not ready to be sold. I love the power and performance. Heads turn everywhere I go. If BMW can get the computer system under control, this would almost be the perfect car. Even though it's a sports car, the convience package would be nice to have for the price. I can't wait for the M6.

Favorite Features

the look with the top down and the power.

Suggested Improvements

the computer system, hard top convertible and option to have the convience package

Review

and money is no object, this is the car for you. The design and styling is something very special and the drive, handling and sound of the vehicle is unmatched. I heard all the comments on the I-drive and expected a lot worse-- it's not a problem to work at all. Grab the Sport Package is it adds bigger wheels and very comfortable seats, plus some other driving goodies. For a fairly large car, it handles like a little sports car without sacrificing comfort. It's a very special and unique car for someone who does not have to ask "how much" when ordering one. I'm thrilled with my silver convertible with a black top and cream beige interior. One of the best cars I've ever owned.

Favorite Features

Design and styling are fantastic--so many different curves and angles. Light grain wood is gorgeous. Handling is superb with a throaty exhaust sound that will quicken your pulse every time. A real head turner. Premium sound system worth the extra cost.

Suggested Improvements

Sure wish this car was one of the BMW I- pod compatible models.

Review

I had been a Mercedes CLK 320 owner..loved that car UNTIL I purchased the new 645ci Convertable. There is NO comparison. The BMW handles better,is more efficient,does what I ask it to do,responds beautifully.drives smothly. Have not yet driven in snow,but I am sure will be fine. The convertable mechanism is great,,absolutly nothing to do except press one button. top up/or down in seconds.Cannot extol virtues enough. will NEVER go back to Mercedes. BMW also much easier to do business wiht.

Favorite Features

favorites. ease of top up/down,radio, I drive is simple to use..a/c is almost too cold, seats very comfy. I love it all

Bugs in the Computer

Review

Love the car, drives like a dream. Brakes are wonderful. Car attrackes a big crowd. Unfortunitly, severe creaking with body twist and active steering gets floaty over 105mph. Back seat is just for groceries. Car has been in the shop for total of 15 days and 4 trips in first 2 months, all computer related. No radio, no phone service, navagation meltdown, iDrive meltdown. This car was just not ready to be sold to the market, they needed another year to work out the bugs.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, Engine Sound, Braking, Lines

Suggested Improvements

Computer system reliability, cabin space, seat confort, power fold in mirrors, creaking from body twist, telephone key pad, blue tooth phone and iPod connection. Not as luxurious as my 2001 740il, and not as modern as it should be.

Will drive this car for 10 years.

Review

What I think is best about this car is how well it operates in the two roles of luxury cruiser and sports car convertible. Overall it is exceptionally self assured and holds the road with tenancity. The low grumble from the v-8 sounds great. As a luxury car it compares to anything out there. But put the top down, select the sport setting on the transmission and you have a car that will give you all the excitment you want and remind you of what fun driving is. Additionally the aerodynamics are phenominal. At any speed up to 80 mph, with the top down and windows up the car is quiet and there is virtually no wind buffeting in the front seats.

Favorite Features

That you can raise and lower the top while driving less than 20 MPH. Great for putting top down/up as you are leaving/entering the parking lot.

Suggested Improvements

Addition of Blue Tooth enabled cell phone system rather than only one BMW phone.

Review

This is an amazing car. The i-drive is not as bad as some say, but it is a silly piece of show-off design. That is the ONLY quiblle about this car. It is astoundingly fast and handles equally well. It turns heads wherever you go, and the interior has all the comforts you could want. The best car I've ever had.

Favorite Features

Handling; 6-speed manual.

Suggested Improvements

Ditch the i-drive.

Review

I have it this vehicle for about 45 days and have been extremely please with every feature. I was hesitant at first due to my experience with BMW service departments in the past, but the car out weighs those concerns. The car is fantastic - a car you can drive everyday!!! The lines and looks are fanstastic - top down is the only way to drive this. Many trips have already been done to Park City and Deer Valley.

Favorite Features

Standard transmission, sports package,burl wood trim, ease of operation for convertible

Suggested Improvements

Teach BMW about service. This is the fifth BMW I have owned (3-7 series, 1-3 series and this 6)and they still can't get it right. Maybe I ought to start my own dealership and show them how?
