I have always liked the BMW 6 series coupes and now they are making a convertible too/ Back in 1987 and 1988 when I sold BMWs back in Florida I always favored the 635 CSI coupe and actually sold a couple of them. One to a husband and wife doctor team that paid full sticker and financed it for 84 months. Never did quite understand that. Must have needed a tax write off.. The new 2009 650i coupe and convertible are much different than the old 633 and 635 and are still my favorite BMW except the M-6 which is a 650 with the M engine and drive line and an extra 20 grand. They have about doubled in price but the so has everything else.. A person can tell you about them but the only true way to really appreciate a BMW is to get behind the wheel and drive one. They drive and handle like none of the American Cars. Get a 650 i convertible on a nice day, put the top down, and head for the nearest University campus and you will more fully understand the allure of a BMW convertible. It doesn’t matter if you are 20 or 70 you will get a heck of a reaction to the car and who knows what else now days.
The 6 series are equipped with the 4.8 liter DOHC 32 valve, 360 horsepower V-8. Each engine has the valvetronic, direct ignition system with knock control, a two stage air intake manifold, BMW’s double VANOS steplessly variable valve timing and electronically controlled engine cooling.
You have your choice of the 6 speed manual transmission with Dynamic Driving Control or a 6 speed automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes and steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, Dynamic Driving Control, and Adaptive Transmission Control. No matter which you choose, The 650i is one heck of a vehicle that anybody would be proud to own and drive. It is rated at 16/23 miles per gallon and has a 18.5 gallon tank. 0-60 time is 5.3 for the coupe and 5.7 for the much heavier convertible.
Like all BMWs, the 650 comes with just about everything you could ever need or want but there are three optional packages available. there is the sport package which includes 19 X 8.5 rear and 19 X 8.0 front star spoked forged alloy wheels with 245/40 front and 275/35 run flat performance tires, 8 way power front sport seats with adjustable headrests, manual thigh support, and active head restraints. Chrome exhaust tips and a contoured hood. There is the cold weather package that includes 3 stage heated front seats, heated steering wheel and a ski bag. The one I would have
