If you can afford this car and want a FAST, great handling coupe, go buy one. My old BMW doesn't even compare to this car. You won't see very many on the road and heads will turn when you drive by. I can't say enough great things about this car.

Best Luxury Sport Convertible

This by far is the best vehicle I have driven, and the best looking. I have had the Nissan 300z turbo and test drove the new Mercedes CLS and the SL 500, there is no comparison the performance and luxury you get with the 650I. The iDrive was confusing until I took about two hours to learn it while parked in my driveway and now it is easy. The voice commands also eliminates a lot of manual functions that comes with the iDrive.

6 series convertible

This car MUST be driven to be appreciated. Once test driven, I had to purchase it. Acceleration is awsome. Dynamic stability control keeps the car perfectly level in corners, as they say, like riding on rails! And BMW quality speaks for itself! Now thinking about the M6, but that may be too much power. This car is the perfect performance luxury vehicle!

The Ultimate Driving Machine

In January, I traded a 1996 Porsche 911 C4 Cabriolet for the BMW 650 C Convertible. This was the first vehicle that had the WOW factor for me since the Porsche. BMW does a much better job with both interior and exterior finish than BMW, has a better warranty, better service, and now has built a coupe that handles as well as the Porsche. The upgraded sound system blows you away and the car is teaching me how to use voice commands. I'm learning. Steering is responsive, acceleration is as good as the 96 Porsche, it is more comfortable than the BMW X-5 I own and I can't find anything BMW has left out. GREAT AUTOMOBILE!! If you can afford own, buy it.

It’s has to be one of the most deprecating cars

My 2009 BMW 650i w/ all packages is the car I’ve held on to the longest. MSRP 128k I purchased it off a 4-5 year lease as I always do, well maintained with 30,000 miles. I’ve had it almost 5 years and there’s 57,000 miles! It’s a coin flip but either way you better have money to throw away or be able to do some work yourself. I changed my oil today myself thinking I’d save a few bucks...$119.00!! That being said I’ve been lucky. You have to get the stem seals changed out which more and more people are doing so that job is coming down in price. Watch the gasket on the oil cooler transfer case. That was my biggest job at $800. The car is 11 years old and a M2 and Alfa Rameo didn’t want anything to do with me on the highway. I cruise at 133mph which my trip computer tells me it’s most fuel efficient at that speed which feels like a brisk 65mph. I’ve had fights with people saying the car wasn’t a BMW and had to show them the registration. If you get one find a lower mileage 2008, 2009, till when ever they changed the body. Although if you can afford newer it’s always nicer. Get a coupe, not the convertible since they tend to leak and break and also fill the trunk or boot with water. No need to tune it unless you do a cold air intake, performance exhaust, and a chip. They ESS supercharger will start breaking all the other parts of your engine. They burn oil...all of them. Clean you PCV valves in the crankcase above the engine. They are always shot, they’re cheap and you can do it yourself in 20 minutes. Alpine White with two tone beige and black interior with calipers painted red is sexy. I’ve been driving around since 11/19 with my inspection up and no cop has yet to ticket me even while getting 2 speeding warnings. It’s the ultimate driving machine
