2012 BMW 650 M Sport
I owned a 2009 650 convertible for three year and never had a second's trouble with it. I now have a 2012 650 convertible with M Sport and the Bang and Olfsen sound system. This is the most amazing car that I have ever owned. The power is unreal, it can float across potholes (in Comfort + mode) or feel as connected to the road as the old M6. It is stunning to look at, especially in white, but the best part about the car is the new Bang sound system. It is crystal clear and LOUD enough to shake your clothes. You can describe it. You have to hear it. I'm sorry about the post above that had a problem in the rain. So far, mine is better than my first one.
She let me know
Just purchased a 2012 650i AWD Convert, with M Sport and M Luxury packages. 31,000 miles. Had a few BMW's, 911/Z4 Porsches, Z's, a 450 Benz, and a Corvette. All had their finer points. I will say that this 650i was driven only 1500 miles a year for the last four years by the previous owner, and when I took it out in the mountains, it was almost like she was thanking me for flexing her muscles. In Sport mode, the vehicle was perfect in everyway. The 8 speed auto with paddles responded with precision and grace. It almost felt like she was thanking me for opening her up through the mountain curves, with a throaty exhaust, excellent cornering, and a ride that was magnificent. I guess my point is that this type of vehicle needs to be driven to be enjoyed. I can't imagine how much touring or speed could have been accomplished ay 1500 a year. Looking forward to this summer.

Always will own one
Second 650i convertible owner. I'll own them as long as they make them. (which, unfortunately, ended Feb of this year). For a convertible, there's less road noise then a hard top, sound in speakers is great, going 80 feels like you're driving 40, no squeaks or leaks in the roof. This car is a 2012 with zero issues. As any luxury car, you can expect a high maintenance bill, but don't get one if you can't afford it. Just make sure you take it to a BMW dealership and you're covered. Warranty does cover any electrical and mechanical issues - anything outside of wear and tear. The only thing to watch for is the convertible. My last one (I was 3rd owner) had a big top stopping mid-way issue which, although covered by warranty, they wouldn't cover until it was "adjusted", which came out of my pocket. When I asked "what the *** is an "adjustment"? they told me it was the responsibility of the owner to "adjust" the sensors before they will repair anything. I told them being the 3rd owner, how was I supposed to know this? Where in the BMW manual does it say this? Arguing with a warranty company is comparable to banging your head against a brick wall, so I ended up having to pay $900 out of pocket for something that failed, AGAIN, a few weeks later, that, yes, had to be fixed, which I had to pay another $300 for the warranty deductible, but they did fix. I still don't understand what happened, but be weary of that. (side story: I'm also a lifetime Miata owner/fan with 3 under my belt. I'm an original 2004 mazdaspeed owner and not once has that car been in the shop - lesson? The more electronics you have in a car, the more problems you'll have) Anyway, back to this car, since the 2007, the 2012, has definitely fixed a lot of its electronic glitches and what appeared to be transmission "jumping" in my 07, is now gone in my 12. The newer models are a lot less frustrating and way more user friendly. And VERY fast.

Thoroughly Impressed!
I traded in my M3 convertible and purchased the 2012 650i. I went with the M3 in 2008 because the design of the previous model was just not to my taste but the 2012 model definitely turns heads. The 650 isnt the sports car the M3 was, but it more than makes it up in comfort and design. Dont get me wrong, the 4.4-liter, 32-valve 400-hp V-8 engine with TwinPower Turbo is plenty enough for any road in the US (excluding race tracks) for most drivers and enthusiasts. It is definitely a great balance of power, performance, gadgetry, and style. Much better than the previous model.
Refined BEAST!
Owned Cadillacs over forty years and switched to this refined BEAST! Highly doubt I’ll go back to Cadillac, as long as I can afford the 6 series.😊 The design interior/exterior is outstanding and frankly receive many compliments!
