2008 BMW 6 Series Convertible 650i 2dr Convertible (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
Review
This is one sweet automobile. So responsive, amazing comfort in the driver's seat ( great lumbar and head support). And the headsup display is invaluable - what a car. Can't wait to really get it on the road for a trip. Love it, love it, love it.
Best Features
the whole thing, period.
Worst Features
Make the seat extension automatic, elimination that awkward drop off area that catches sand, whatever.

I had the 650 for 12 months and I regret getting it: Too much money for what you get. I paid $90K+, includes: conv, auto, sports pckg, head-up display is an absolutely stupid option, convenience key is not necessary and HD radio that never worked right; dealer said it works best in the city but not in the suburbs where I live, thx and heated seats. I could have gotten a better car for $90K or a great car at a much lower price but not $90K+ for 360 HP. This is my 3rd BMW; I have a 01-740i and a 05-330cic; both are great but the 650 at this price level is a disappointment, not only in lack of HP but in technology/computer etc. Take your time, compare and shop wisely before you commit to a 650.
Best Features
Excellent road handling, responsive and feels glued to the road.
Worst Features
Computer/Engine Technology adjustable to driver's habit is nonsense if the car can't shift gears and gets confused at a tiny climb/20 degrees - GPS Headup display is truly useless - HD Radio: Discontinue it - Paddle shifters: Waste of space - Insanely a gas guzzler - Lower the price tag

Review
I have had lots of cars in my life, including MBs, other BMWs, a Porsche but none have been more fun to drive or more luxurious. The 6spd manual is terrific and the sport mode just adds a little more sports car feel. The iDrive complaints I've heard don't register with me. In less than a day, my phone was working with bt, I was using voice commands and the navigation system. This car is a head turner and all the gadgets are fun to play with, including the convertible top. I also like the throaty sound, especially in sports mode. There is no question that the backseat is next to useless but I intend to use this car as a two-seater any way.
Best Features
6spd manual, convertible top, overall look, iDrive, comfortable front seats, luxurious interior, voice commands, driveability, adjustable trunk space when top is up.
Worst Features
More interior storage space since glove compartment is very small and so is center console.

This is by far my favorite car. The handling and power are outstanding. With the top dropped, my passion for driving fast can be fully realized. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who enjoys open air driving.
Best Features
Heads up display is a feature I thought was useless... until I found myself doing 100+ without realizing it.
Worst Features
The paddle shifters can be a problem if you are clumsy.
