2008 BMW 6 Series Consumer Reviews

Vehicle

2008 BMW 6 Series 650i 2dr Coupe (4.8L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Take 1 drive in this puppy, and you will realize why they call it the ultimate driving machine. By far the most fun I have had driving a car. Eats a lot of gas, the backseat is for looks not for passengers.

Favorite Features

The iDrive is easy to use. Amazing power. A true driver's car.

Suggested Improvements

Lose the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

2008 BMW 6 Series 650i 2dr Convertible (4.8L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Agonized many a times about spending this kind of $ for a car. After 1 week of driving it, this machine is worth every dollar, not only in its performance and peerless handling, but in the way it makes you feel when you are behind the wheel. Extreme luxury, awsome handle, superb sports performance, plus the WOW! factor; all in one package.

Favorite Features

The Starship enterprise like acceleration when you are entering the interstate; the voice command iDrive; love the Bluetooth; car unlocks by just touching the door handle; one touch button convertible top down. Unlike Lexus cars, you won't find many of these at the supermarket parking lot!

Suggested Improvements

More cabin storage space (for small objects like work ID, coins, CDs, pens etc.). Do away with steering wheel shift paddles. Oh, and that fuel consumption...

2008 BMW 6 Series 650i 2dr Convertible (4.8L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I haven't owned a convertible in years so I thought it was time. I added the sport package, upgraded sound system and 21" chrome wheels. The car is stunning. I get comments and looks constantly, especially when the top is down. There is still not enough storage space inside the vehicle. Glove box is small, center console storage is small. Owner's manual(s) don't even fit in the glove box. There are no cupholders in the front. But for styling, power, comfort, and electronic amenities, this is a great car. This is a true driver's car.

Favorite Features

Convertible top design and storage. Power and acceleration. iDrive improvements (easier to use). Bluetooth. Interior layout. Upgrades to the nav system since my 2005 545.

Suggested Improvements

Needs at least enough room in the glove box to fit the book of owners manuals. Cupholders in the front are needed. Remove the shift paddles on the steering wheel.

Review

After much deliberation, I bought a new 650i coupe. I always liked it generally, but could not imagine a car at this price without an opening sunroof. You have to drive it to understand that the trade off is a beautiful panoramic experience through the roof glass with ventilation still available. The trunk area, which I always saw as ugly Bangle bungling, is subtly changed and now much more acceptable to me. The brake light previously near the back window is now integrated into the deck lid. It just looks better. People really rubber neck; a nice extra.

Favorite Features

HUD; bluetooth, xenon lights, "growl", interior chrome on cup holder and steering wheel. Endless acceleration.

Suggested Improvements

Paddle shifters not intuitive, rear deck still leaves styling opportunity, nav screen graphics need upgrade.
