Used 2006 BMW 6 Series Coupe Consumer Reviews

The 650 Rocks!!

Great car - fast, incredible handling - much better than the Mercedes Benzes that I've owned. The back end is still a bit too much Bangle, but performance is amazing.

ultimate driving machine

I have owned Mercedes for the last ten years I owned a Porsche and Jaguar. This is the first BMW I am totally pleased with my 650, its the fastest car I have ever owned, and the interior is not only beautiful but very user friendly, I recommend this car to anyone that enjoys driving.

2007 650i

Total cost of ownership compared to competing cars is much lower. Acceleration and handling is great, so is the sports suspension.

Awesome car!

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.

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

Close to Perfect

I bought this car because I wanted to know what it was like to drive on the autobahns of Germany at speeds they were intended for, and the 650i lets me do that. I haven't had to pull over to the right lane for anyone yet. The acceleration, whether starting from a stop or at 100 mph, pulls you into the back of your seat. Merging and passing is effortless. The car grips the road at top speed (157 mph), around corners, or even on wet surfaces. It makes you feel almost too safe..... I used to be a Mercedes guy, but I have definitely switched. This car drives so nicely and smoothly, has such a simple elegance inside, and turns heads because of its awesome exterior. I am 100% satisfied!

Away with the iPod

This is a wonderful automobile except for two very annoying things. 1. The iPod control knob is a disaster. It requires unsafe driver attention to use and is a dangerous distraction if used while moving. 2. The stereo system turns on each time you start the car. This is very annoying.

Dream Machine

Without a doubt, the BMW 650i is the hottest car I've ever driven. You just have to be careful about your speed because as you step on it, you can't feel anything shift... it literally glides from gear to gear like no other car I've driven. I see tickets in my future and I'm not talking about the ones for a show. I had concerns about the iDrive, but I found it pretty intuitive to use and I'm getting more comfy with the voice commands. All in all, the car is a beautifully tuned machine. The front end of the car is a lot prettier in view than the back end. But then the "not so pretty" back end gives the car a hint of less pretentiousnes with a really big trunk.

BMW 650i is the one to get

This car is just an extreme pleasure to drive, the handling, acceleration and features far exceeds the my other luxury coupe test drives. The complaints on the iDrive are understood, but I use the voice control to access just about anything on the menu, without touching the iDrive. I live in the Miami area where there are many, many lux coupes out there, but the BMW always turn heads. Absolutely, no regrets buying this car.

"OH MY GOD"

What a great car Handling and power are incredible. Came out of a 530, never going back. what a ride.

First Month Review

Overall this car has been great fun to drive--a great performer with solid construction. The big V8 provides ample acceleration to dust away those pesky Mustangs. The interior treats the driver and a single passenger to indulgent comfort, but back seat passenger = contortionist. Style, comfort, acceleration, fit and finish all get high marks. Less impressive is BMW's implementation of the iDrive interface, with special admonishment for the MP3 system's inadequate display of song information. Stalwart critics of the Bangle Butt have a point, but are typically so far behind me in traffic that I can't hear them. This is a car that demands attention while putting the driver in command.

Awesome wheels

In spite of Chris Bangle, this car rocks. It just oozes,"Move over, I'm here." Great looks, performance, comfort. It says, "I've arrived."

Better than expected

I love this car. Driving it is even better than I imagined it would be as I waited for it to arrive.

To Live For

I just knew on the day that I test-drove both the coupe and the convertible that I was going to get my own coupe. The look says: That's right, I am mean. You insert the key and you hear that aggressive rumble in the back. You press on the throttle a couple of times and you realized that you've been smiling like an idiot. Depress the traction control and activate the Sport button and the car takes off likes hell on wheels. Find a loop and keep pushing against the curb -never touch the brakes- and you'll feel like you are ready for NASCAR. All the while, people will try to catch up with you so they can give you the "thumbs up". The car makes you want to drive while making you look better.

BMW Engineering at it's finest

Over the years I've had quite a few cars. I test drove the 650 and was instantly sold. The performance is stellar, the handling amazing. This car does everything right. The people that complain about the iDrive, haven't used it or taken the time to learn. I had it down within a couple of days and appreciate the simplicity. BMW has won me over, I don't know what took me so long!

AAAAWSOME CAR

This car is EVERYTHING I expected it would be. Great to look at and drive.

FUN

Fast, fun to drive. Looks great and has the comfort of a sedan, at least in the front.

BMW 650i is superb

Some don't like the car, but I have dozens of people telling me how much they like it. I had a 2004 645ci and it went like stink. Now my 650 simply is fantastic. Both cars have the most amazing grip and impart a feel of confidence. The iDrive isn't too bad, if you can't master it you must have a very short span of attention.

Only car that people stop and say nice ride.
