Agonized many a times about spending this kind of $ for a car. After 1 week of driving it, this machine is worth every dollar, not only in its performance and peerless handling, but in the way it makes you feel when you are behind the wheel. Extreme luxury, awsome handle, superb sports performance, plus the WOW! factor; all in one package.

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.

Beautiful Car

I haven't owned a convertible in years so I thought it was time. I added the sport package, upgraded sound system and 21" chrome wheels. The car is stunning. I get comments and looks constantly, especially when the top is down. There is still not enough storage space inside the vehicle. Glove box is small, center console storage is small. Owner's manual(s) don't even fit in the glove box. There are no cupholders in the front. But for styling, power, comfort, and electronic amenities, this is a great car. This is a true driver's car.

What a Kick

Got an '08 Sapphire Black convertible with saddle leather. Awesome to drive. Extremely responsive steering and brakes. Doesn't feel like the heavy car that it is. Ample power and acceleration through all gears although could be quicker off the line. First time user of iDrive and find it to be much more intuitive then car magazine editor's complaints. Fuel economy is better then expected. Getting 26+ mpg on highways with 18 in city driving. Interior noise is also better then expected. The back panel window really cuts down on both noise and turbulence. Only complaint is that the rear speakers seem to be under amped and some navigational clumsiness between iDrive commands.

Well, i finally bought a used 2008 BMW 650I convertible V8 in 2020 and it is in excellent condition. I love cars and i have had about 41 cars by now but this one is the best i have ever owned. Let's face it when it was new i can not afford it for real, the retail price in 2008 was at 85k base price and i have the window sticker that says 88k with options like sport package and winter package plus upgrade stereo system, i would imagine with sale tax at 8% and dealer fees the car probably leaves the show room at about 95k car. In 2008 the new Corvette only costs 36k. Today 2020 the new 650i would cost 256k. Well, i thanks all the rich buyers that bought this car new so i can buy it used today. I have this 650i for about 2 months now and i love every minutes of driving it, the seat is very sporty and comfy it hugs you good, the steering wheel is nice and tight no vibrations, it has plenty of power and very responsive, takes off great and very fast, i hit my head on the head rest every time i step on the pedal, i feel like the town is in slow motion when i drive this car, everyone seems to be slow as snail, and every time i take off from a green light i always ahead of the pack and i can see all cars in my rear view mirror. The suspension is awesome it made for curves and changing lanes, the breaks are super light on stopping and quiet and smooth. Driving with the top down i feel like a millionaire though i can still drive faster than most convertibles out there. I feel like people either loves me or hate me when they see me in this 650i, they love me because they think i have good taste in car and they hate me is because they think how can i afford to buy this car?, i did not mean it but my 650i is the most expensive car in my company's parking lot and we have about 120 cars in the lot. Anyhow, i really enjoy driving this 650i it is ultimate driving machine for real, and i have had Benz, Audi, Porches, Lexus, Corvettes, ect...This is my 3rd BMW, my other car now is the 2012 BMW 528I AWD 4dr sedan, that's is also a very nice car. The 650i is by any means not a perfect car, my car does not have bluetooth for phone music only for phone talks, the rear trunk when hit open on the remote it unlocks and that is it, you have to then open it by hand and not open automatically, it drinks a lot of gas for it power. I have no problem with this car yet, but i will update later about a year from now to see if any issues occurred. The car drives quietly and smooth, powerful, fast, gears shifts smooth , its very enjoy to drive, some times i come home from work and i want to drive some more to satisfy my thrill so i pass my house and keep on driving. i have the upgraded stereo system which sounds the best.
