BMW 650i Convertible Review by Autocar UK

A seriously rapid car — this is the one thing that Autocar.co.uk had to say about the BMW 650i convertible. The highly responsive turbos and transmission was also commended. They loved the steering, handling and general responsiveness of the car to their inputs. See an excerpt of their review here:

Verdict

A superbly accomplished car, unless you’re a driving enthusiast The 650i Convertible has a breadth of ability that’s unrivalled in its class. A remarkable powertrain, versatile chassis and practical body allow it to play almost any role with conviction: weekend hotrod, long-haul GT, occasional four-seater or carefree drop-top. Convertibles certainly don’t come much faster, better mannered or more thoroughly executed.

The role this 6-series struggles with is the one you may miss the most: for all its basic speed, it’s an uncommunicative driver’s car. Despite the army of active chassis systems, it’s essentially an inert, unresponsive car that lacks balance and poise, and feels heavy and cumbersome when really tested.

How much that will detract from your enjoyment depends on how keen a driver you are because, in other ways, the 650i is as uncompromised as convertibles get.
