Love my Bimmer - But I'm a hands-on owner
Unless you have deep (very deep) pockets, or are comfortable doing routine maintenance on a high-tech vehicle, the 645ci probably isn't your best choice unless you're able to purchase an extended warranty. I drove a 1984 633csi for about 20 years -- thoroughly loved the car. When work required more travel, I upgraded to the 2004 645ci. I was able to pick one up a 2-owner with 85,000 miles for right around $13K. Financed through the credit union and added a $3,200 3-yr/36K bumper to bumper warranty; total price $16.5K or so. (warranty paid for itself the first trip to the shop when the transmission started leaking -- $5,300 expense; I had to pay a $100 deductible). The Bimmer is a FANTASTIC touring car on the road and fun to drive around town... Has plenty of power and a beautiful and unmistakable design.

Too much fun in the sun
This car is not the best in any category, there are better looking, faster, cheaper, whatever the category. But as a package, this car is the one to take out on a winding road on a Saturday afternoon. Or you can just drop the top and actually enjoy your drive to work, as I do. It has all the power you need to be pushing well to the right side of 100 by the end of the average on ramp. It sticks to corners like glue. And yet is behaved enough to not look like you are finally living out your high school fantasy - even if that is exactly really what you're doing.

Fun But ...
This is a magnificent car, providing more niche-fillers than any other car on the market: a true sports car, with excellent speed and handling, top luxury, eye-catching look, available with a stick, and a back seat and trunk that are actually useful. However, the alloy wheels are so soft I'm on my my third set, and despite their advertising, BMW will do anything to avoid having the warranty cover anything more than the usual minor issues. The software on the care is unreliable too and the car is a gas hog. Even so, I love it, but it's hard to accept being treated poorly by BMW given the nature of their advertising and the cost of this car.
Will drive this car for 10 years.
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.
Bugs in the Computer
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.
awesome car
I have been driving BMW's ( 3's 6's and 7's) for 20 years--- while nothing competes with the new 745I for sheer comfort and overall drive, the same can be said about the 645's looks, handling and performance in a sport coupe--the only complaint I have is the lack of little amenities such as a coin holder or the placement of the extra outlet for your phone-otherwise it was worth the 15 year wait. Driving the car makes driving fun again-like it was when you first got your license. The car is simply awesome!!!!!!!!!
This is the best BMW I have ever driven
I purchased my first BMW in 1987, a BMW 325is. Since then I have owned a BMW 528i, 328i convertible, 1988 M6, 540i, 745Li and now I own a 2004 BMW 645ci Convertible. I will tell you this as a prior BMW owner this is the best BMW I have ever owned. I love this car so much I can't bring my self to even drive it in the rain. I only have 14,000 miles on the car. This car turns heads, causes other vehicles horns to blow and lights to flash when approaching. My Lady always wants to a company me in the passengers seat. She's is nobody's fool. She knows wherever this car goes there is a lot of attention given and she enjoys being apart of it. This is truly an Ultimate Driving Machine.
Beware "the convertible roof"
Love to drive my 645 when the roof works which is not very often over the last year. BMW can't fix it after 4 attempts on my nickel and I can no longer afford these repair bills. Like some women, this car looks absolutely terrific, but don't even think about getting too close. It'll cost you! There are other cars out there that are a joy to drive, do the right thing - buy a coupe!
Not an M6, but it is pretty....
The vehicle handles wonderfully and weight is perfect. One of the best 2 door convertible on the market... The Aston Martin Convertible DB9 is the only thing that can touch it...
Best Car I ever owned
I have owned 6 BMWs in my life starting with the 2002tii in 1974 and continuing through a 530i, 633csi, 740iA, 745i and now the 645. It is by far the best car I have ever owned and still makes me smile after 2 years of driving.
6 Series Convertable
An extremely comfortable automobile with fantastic lines both inside and out. The car responds very well at both local and highway speeds. The triple lined top is unusually quiet; its operation a snap. With the front seats brought partway forward, the rear was able to hold my petite daughter and six foot son. In two weeks of ownership, I have been stopped four times by complete strangers remarking on its beauty.
Awesome!
Talk about a fun car to drive! I don't get very excited about driving cars, but when I got behind the wheel in a test drive, I immediately knew there was no other. Now that I have the car, I don't want to stop driving it.
SOOOOO Sweeet
Words can not justify the feel and look of this automobile. If I were able to express my feelings in words I would be working for CAR and DRIVER instead of writing this. The car is just Awesome, the ride the feel and the pure stick to the3 road handling that BMW is known for. For total luxury in an automobile I would vote Mercedes, but when you combine Luxury, styling and just pure adrenaline nothing touches what BMW has done with the 645 CiC. Gotta go know, 81 degrees no humidity and the sun going down outside......I think I hear the roar of the V8 calling my name, Ya just gotta luv it!!!!!
Couldn't Be Any Better!
Best vehicle I've ever owned. This one has it all: performance, sporty, luxury. Great combination of mastering the road and pampering the driver. I'll probably get another one when my lease is up. This one turns heads and gets lots of compliments all the time - and is still exclusive enough that I rarely see another one on the road.
the best in open air motoring
There are so many plus points to this car, they're hard to list. Ownership makes it even more likeable. It really grows on you.
Breath-taking
It's an amazing machine, uproaring speed and agility, i honestly cant find the proper words to describe it. it is absolutely paramount automobile.
BMW is the Best
I love the car i just bought - the 645 ci is an outstanding car. BWM has a winner. This car is the best of 2004. I have owned 4 other BMW's - the 645ci takes the cake.
If you're REALLY a car person......
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.
This is my second 645 Ci ! I LOVE IT!
You should know you're going to have a timeless classic that is the best driving car you will ever own! Just drive one; any one. You will want it and make it happen if you're lucky. It is perfectly designed and balanced with flawless road manners. My mouth waters, thinking of it. I keep it in storage for the Buffalo Winters. My first one, I had on the road for occasional winter driving and it was fine.... UPDATE from last year!! STILL HAVE THIS beautiful trouble-free car! It’s in storage under a car cover for the Buffalo winter. I put a battery in it prior to storage. It was only $135? Huge battery easy to pop in the trunk with little wrench that came with the car. I LOVE THIS CAR! If you can get one that some kid didn’t alter or “ plasti-dip” and smoke in, GET IT. Miles don’t matter. You will know as soon as you open the door and try it on. Mine is a 2004. People think it’s new. Timeless styling. New ones were $145,000 before it was replaced with a hauntingly familiar 8-series. The ‘04 actually has more character and better lines.

The 6 Series
This car is just off the wall it is a great and i mean great car. Its safe, fun to drive, everywhere i drive it heads are always turning and looking to see what kind of car that is. It is super fast! I love the interior it's very slick and just echoes the word "PIMP".
fun
Nice car was purchased as college gradutation gift. Looked at Lexus SC430 but liked larger size of BMW. Beautiful design as well as fit and finish. Must be seen in person and drive to be appreciated.
Phenomenal
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.
Better than a Disney E ride
This is a fabulous ride.The BMW 6 ci convertible has multiple personalities.It can run like a bat out of hell with the top down,SMG paddle shift Sport mode and Jimi Hendrix blasting out of all 13 speakers, or serenely cruise in automatic mode in the insulated cacoon of top up quietude with some smooth Miles Davis.
watsons 645cic
gorgeous car that drives beyond belief. what more can I say? Thank You BMW!!!
best car i ever had
all i can say its unreal
A dream machine
This could be the neatest car I've ever owned and that includes a Corvette, an XKE and 24 years of Mercedes S Class. This is a blast to drive and a show stopper. A sports car with room for four if you need it (a plus over an XK-8) and quicker than a cat. The design and air-flow keep you and passangers from being wind blown.
Whiplash
I've owned my launch vehicle for 4 months and it still turns heads so fast, guys get whiplash.
excellent all around luxury sport coupe
got the covertible in silver grey with black interior, navigation is standard, added the sport and cold packages, went for the automatic with manual option this is a great transmission gets better mileage than the smg and so smooth and easy to use no jerky shifts, i like everything about this car, even the i-drive is making sense now that my kid showed me how to work it.
BMW 645 - Dream!
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.
my thoughts
awesome performance, BEAUTFUL with the top down,with onlt pretty up.
Best Handling car ever owned
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.
645cic
This is a great car!
Was this a Good Choice?
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.
A great car
If you like to drive you'll love to drive this car. I've owned five convertibles, my last being an SL500, and none of them comes close to the "ultimate" driving experience. I can wait to get it out wesr with no speed limits! It is very comfortable to ride in, which my wife really appreciates. A great automobile.
Sporty yet practical.
Just invested in a used 2004 645Ci convertible, Sapphire black on cream leather with a 6-speed manual transmission, with only 16000 miles... great vehicle!! Combining performance, fun-to-drive factor and practicality (can take some friends in comfort in back seat). Although the design is now nearly 3 years old, the 645's beauty will never age. Would recommend the car to anyone with car-fever.
Beauty in motion
A blast to drive - can't leave it in the garage and take the Lexus!
Luxury, Comfort, and Speed
I’ve owned several convertibles and coupes, but this is my first BMW. I’m the 2nd owner and am very impressed so far after 3 years and 8,000 miles. The V8 revs easily to over 6,500 when you have the need for speed. Quiet ride with top up or down. Love it.
