Overview & Reviews

The 6 Series coupe is back after a 14-year hiatus from the BMW lineup. With eight-cylinder power and all the latest technology, it has the necessary ingredients to take on the world's finest luxury two-doors.

• Nimble handling for a big coupe, endless power from ultrasmooth V8, elegant interior design.

• IDrive controller is improved but still a nuisance, only one engine option.

  Fun But ... - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By David - June 5 - 12:54 pm

  This is a magnificent car, providing more niche-fillers than any other car on the market: a true sports car, with excellent speed and handling, top luxury, eye-catching look, available with a stick, and a back seat and trunk that are actually useful. However, the alloy wheels are so soft Im on my my third set, and despite their advertising, BMW will do anything to avoid having the warranty cover anything more than the usual minor issues. The software on the care is unreliable too and the car is a gas hog. Even so, I love it, but its hard to accept being treated poorly by BMW given the nature of their advertising and the cost of this car.

  The feel good factor is priced in! - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By voldiver - March 1 - 9:49 pm

  The 645 is truly "sport" luxury. Not nimble and quick but muscular and responsive. The extra horses of the 650 should help. The iDrive is not difficult...if you cant figure it out you most likely cant afford the car anyway!

  Porsche 911 Carrera meets practicality! - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By puffysheep - February 11 - 12:40 am

  I would choose BMWs over Mercedes and other equivalent cars. Having said that only cars I would drool over this one are BMW M5 and M6. I got this car with full option and everything ranging from parking distance control to cold weather packages, all very useful. If you hear people complaining about the BMW iDrive system, dont believe them. Unless you are very old- fashioned and dont know how to use a computer, you wont have a problem with the iDrive function. This car has a surprisingly big trunk and back seats are plenty for people under six feet tall. This car drives like a Porsche 911 but it can also be driven like a luxury sedan so its lot more practical for everyday use.

  Not an M6, but it is pretty.... - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By carlb9 - January 20 - 1:40 pm

  The vehicle handles wonderfully and weight is perfect. One of the best 2 door convertible on the market... The Aston Martin Convertible DB9 is the only thing that can touch it...

  Couldnt Be Any Better! - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By KathyO - November 6 - 4:37 pm

  Best vehicle Ive ever owned. This one has it all: performance, sporty, luxury. Great combination of mastering the road and pampering the driver. Ill probably get another one when my lease is up. This one turns heads and gets lots of compliments all the time - and is still exclusive enough that I rarely see another one on the road.

  645 ci has no equal in the market - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By Bimmerfile - March 21 - 5:48 pm

  SMG makes the car hard to drive smoothly. Active steering feels awkward and unnatural. Otherwise the car is a terrific driver. I can live with the iDrive. I think there is a little dodge stratus in the back. It makes the car look cheap honestly. I never quite got used to the awful trunk. The car seems confused on whether to ape porsche or dodge.The front is unique, not really attractive but not particularly ugly either. Saddle up behind the seat, and the outside wont matter any more.

  Love my Bimmer - But Im a hands-on owner - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By Ken Allewelt - January 26 - 9:21 am

  Unless you have deep (very deep) pockets, or are comfortable doing routine maintenance on a high-tech vehicle, the 645ci probably isnt your best choice unless youre able to purchase an extended warranty. I drove a 1984 633csi for about 20 years -- thoroughly loved the car. When work required more travel, I upgraded to the 2004 645ci. I was able to pick one up a 2-owner with 85,000 miles for right around $13K. Financed through the credit union and added a $3,200 3-yr/36K bumper to bumper warranty; total price $16.5K or so. (warranty paid for itself the first trip to the shop when the transmission started leaking -- $5,300 expense; I had to pay a $100 deductible). The Bimmer is a FANTASTIC touring car on the road and fun to drive around town... Has plenty of power and a beautiful and unmistakable design.

  Awesome! - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By SF - January 3 - 9:19 am

  Talk about a fun car to drive! I dont get very excited about driving cars, but when I got behind the wheel in a test drive, I immediately knew there was no other. Now that I have the car, I dont want to stop driving it.

  A great car - 2004 BMW 6-Series
  By Truk - October 30 - 2:00 am

  If you like to drive youll love to drive this car. Ive owned five convertibles, my last being an SL500, and none of them comes close to the "ultimate" driving experience. I can wait to get it out wesr with no speed limits! It is very comfortable to ride in, which my wife really appreciates. A great automobile.
