Very enjoyable to drive but really a 2 seater
I truly enjoy driving this car. The handling and acceleration are wonderful. Exhilarating. was disappointed that Android Auto is not enabled, but I can connect via Bluetooth. Tire wear does appear to be a concern as there is a sticker from BMW on the windshield to expect 20k or less. When tires run more than $1300/set of 4 it is a consideration for cost of maintenance. There is also no spare, so get run flats or risk getting stuck. At my height, no one can sit behind me, and as long as your passenger is small, you could travel with 2 passengers. No one buys this car to share the experience with more than one, and I love my BMW. I would buy it again. It is a wonderful car to drive and makes me smile every day.

Wonderful combination of attributes
The new 650 is surely a GT but it seems like more to me. I can explain best via comparison. It handles and pulls better than my Aston Martin. The cabin is richer than all but 65-level AMG cars. Technical geekiness is on par with a 911. On the other hand, it is not a rare British sculpture but it will have much greater reliability. It is not an S65 but feels better and costs way less. It is surely no 911 in terms of handling, but styling and grace, and lack of pretentious attitude give it the nod. I was ready for a less-involved driving experience, and the 650 is perfect. It is a demanding ride only until I am ready to just relax. I used to need 2 different cars for that.

What a fine vehicle from going from a Porsche
Hitting 70 this year I decided to go with comfort and still having the performance I liked with my Porsche I had for 12 years. It hit all the marks. The acceleration, the cornering, the luxury and styling of this machine all are amazing.

Awesome
I currently own a 750il and a Range Rover Supercharged. And I have had other vehicles like the Mercedes 320CLK convertible. But I must say, next to the RR, the new 650 convertible is the best car I have ever owned. I wanted the 2011 model, but felt it was just a tad too small for me. But the enlarged the new model signficantly and redesigned many signficant features. It drives like a big car and a sports car. Its sexy and really fun to drive. Very fast and love the rumble of the exhaust. The app option is great as I can listen to Pandora on my iPhone Very fast. And if you set the ride to comfort, it drives smooth and comfy. More so than the 750i. I highly recommend this car.
My favorite--if you are buying a used one make sur
I bought a set of Goodyear Eagles--Traction improved greatly on wet--Fuel pump issue--stuck on a sunday--1K repair--just got notice from BMW that there is a recall and they will pick up the cost --other than that--love it-- I bought my 2013 640 ragtop used with 19k miles. It has been a joy. Plenty of giddy up. Comfort setting makes for great ride on chicagos pot holed streets. Minimal back seat space and trunk. Strictly a 1 or 2 person driver Tires brakes on another 35000 miles. Car now 6 years old. 55k miles. Minimal issues. A pure joy to drive and own. I'll pass it on to my grand kids

Disappointing
My 640I was the worst car I ever owned. The computer system went out causing the vehicle to malfunction. They replaced it. The windows would not go up in the rain. They tried to fix it but continued to be a problem. The navigation system is the worst. I got tired of all the problems and traded it in at 7000 miles. While driving it to the Chevy dealership to trade it in the computer system went blank and 1 at a time all the systems went black. Absolutely the worst car I have ever owned.
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.
I love this car!
I recently bought my 640IL Convertible with 49k on it. Fuel Pump, Rack and Pinion Steering, and an oil sensor have been replaced in the first month.

How can you not love this car?
This is my 2nd 6-series Convertible. I have owned everything from a Pinto to a Rolls Royce over my 61 years of driving. Nothing beats a BMW and the 6-series is my favorite. It looks great and does everything perfectly.

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!

The Black Beauty is a dream.
I have been driving 3 series for the last 23 yers and the upgrade to the 6 series is really worth it. Bigger cockpit and better (but still tight( back seat. Two sets of golf clubs in the trunk. Great tech and safety features. I'll be driving this for years to come.

I love this car!
I bought this car used, with 25,000 miles on it, four years ago. Now it has 88,000 miles and I was considering trading it in for something a little more practical (more seating) but I just can't let it go. Instead of getting a new X3 or X5 I'll just have to settle for a used one. I want to slow down the mileage on this one. This car has given me no trouble but several years of wonderful driving enjoyment. It is definitely a driver's car. The B & O sound system is incredible. I regularly get compliments from strangers about how beautiful it is. I gave my colleague a ride to pick up his 2015 Porsche 911 at the dealer and he was impressed with how nice it rode and quiet it was compared to his car. I live in the country and commute 80 miles round trip 2-3 days per week. I often avoid the freeway so that I can drive the whole way on the back roads. The only drawback, the back seat is really only a fancy place to put stuff. Nobody really fits back there. If you don't need more than two seats, this is an awesome car for handling, speed, comfort, sound and it's averaging 23 mpg!

Reliable and amazing
My 2013 currently has 49k miles Great on gas surprisingly Interior in great shape Mechanically I’ve had no issues Convertible works fine. I do recommend whoever buys one has full coverage insurance because the parts are extremely hard to find and expensive one headlamp is $2000 alone and you’re lucky to find one in a junkyard for $1200 and no this is not a pair I am talking about just 1.

Fun to drive but burns oil and idles rough
I brought a brand new factory ordered 2012 650i 8 speed automatic with heads up display and drivers assist package and LED headlights-sport packaged 20 inch rims with manufacture date 11/2011. Fun to drive with nice design in/out until the low oil level indicator warning came on at 3248 odometer miles. Classic BMW dealership where I bought the car told me it was normal even though the car had short lived 1-2 sec of clanking noice on cold start and rough idle, evident with bottle water in cup holder. Dealership put one quart of oil. 3200 miles later I am low on oil again. Dealership put another quart of oil. Again I am back for 3rd quart of oil at 2794 miles later with 9610 odometer miles!
My THIRD 6-series convertible!
These cars are incredible! I could stop the review right there with a high degree of accuracy but you should be fair-warned: The BMW 6, now 8, series convertible is like a drug. You wake up craving to drive it. You will seek out and find reasons to get in this car. Walking up to it is like seeing your best friend knowing that all of your best memories in life are with this one. Right here! I have to admit, initially, when I saw the changes from the smooth and sexy lines of the 2004-2011 I was a little hesitant. The 2012 has a more commanding stance that grows on you. The car stands at attention and welcomes you with a quick dip of the air-tight window as you open the door. The massaging seat wraps around you as you settle in to wake the 400 wild horses under the hood! Your body and soul just connected with a machine that could spark jealously in the most loyal living companions! Let them know you love them too but stop there and bite your tongue and, I cannot stress enough, do-not let it slip and say “ almost as much as I love this BMW.” That may or may not have been the icing on the cake of my first BMW 6-Series and former marriage. Those are separate reviews… Yesterday, my 650ci, x-drive convertible just hit 96,000 miles! Not one issue outside of routine maintenance. Like any car, if you care for it properly, it will care for you. The only problem with these ( “ oh. Hi little one series, hello 2,3 and 4 series. *yawn.* Good morning 5-series,”) is there are simply not enough to go around! If you are reading these reviews, you may be lucky enough to have one actually available near you! STOP reading the reviews and go buy the nearest one that fits your budget! Pay what they’re asking. This is not some boring commuter car. This is a classic BMW! An asset that will make you feel ALIVE again! Of the way too many options to list, my all time favorite is the presentation of the top retracting and securing! It is an event that has people stop in their tracks like watching fireworks on the 4th of July! This car is simply amazing. Own the Road. When the wish of being the proud owner of a 6-Series BMW convertible comes true. Push your limits and wish for a longer commute!👍🏼👍🏼

BMW Certified Program means, well, Nothing
I purchased a 2014 BMW under a certified program. I picked up the car and the service alarms were on. I returned the car, then the facia wasn't connected and some of the service was not done. Then I finally got to drive the car and the engine was over 2 quarts low on oil. I asked for a copy of the inspection report from the service manager, nothing. I contacted BMW USA nothing. Buyer beware. A Certified BMW means, nothing.

BMW's V8 engines are absolute garbage!
Anyone considering one of these cars better do their due diligence on the design flaws with the V8, otherwise you will be in for a terrible ownership experience. This engine is complete garbage and i'm shocked and appalled that a car that cost so much can be so poorly designed and terribly made. I will never buy another BMW ever again. Buyer beware!

The 2012 BMW 650i is UNSAFE to drive in a thunderstorm.
The 2012 BMW 650i is UNSAFE to drive in a thunderstorm. I was driving North on Interstate 95 in the left lane at approximately 70 mph when I observed lightning strike about 200 feet ahead of me and to the right of the road. Almost all electrical functionality ceased operation immediately, including the engine and the power steering. Dozens of cars closer to the lightning than me were unaffected. The car has been in the BMW repair shop since July 22, 2011 (53 days and counting). Lightning did NOT strike the car. I observed and heard only one flash and thunderclap. The cloth convertible top is in pristine condition.
great drive
Sold my 2004 645ci 6 speed manual for this car. Thought I might miss the 3 pedal, but the way this car shifts expecially in the sport mode is amazing

Just a really nice car to drive with uber adjustable seats.. I got the M package with it and winter wheels/tires.. I drive it year round but it lives in a heated garage.

The Best car ever had
I recently purchased a very low mileage 2015 650i Convertible (under 20K miles). I've been having many different vehicles over years and this is different in many ways. Powerful, comfortable, enjoyable, reliable and fun to drive. Like any used BMWs, look for a low mileage (preferably under 30K) and maintain it well. You'll love it!
