Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Nimble handling for a big coupe, endless power from ultrasmooth V8, elegant interior design.

Cons

iDrive controller is improved but still a nuisance, only one engine option.

What’s new

The 6 Series coupe is back after a 14-year hiatus from the BMW lineup. With eight-cylinder power and all the latest technology, it has the necessary ingredients to take on the world's finest luxury two-doors.

Edmunds says

A phenomenal work of automotive engineering, but its shape fails to elicit universal enthusiasm.

Love my Bimmer - But I'm a hands-on owner

Ken Allewelt, 10/06/2016

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

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 …

Too much fun in the sun

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

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. …

Fun But ...

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

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 …

Will drive this car for 10 years.

new645cicdriver, 09/11/2004

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

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 …
