This Year's Model Updates:

The 6 Series receives an engine upgrade in 2006 and now boasts a 4.8-liter V8 with 360 horsepower. As a result, nomenclature changes slightly, and the car is referred to as the 650i.

Pros:
  • Nimble handling, smooth and quiet ride, endless power from ultrasmooth V8, elegant interior design, supportive seats, large trunk in coupe.
Cons:
  • Fussy iDrive control requires practice to operate, small backseat.

  • BMW 650i is the one to get - 2006 BMW 6-Series
    By -

    This car is just an extreme pleasure to drive, the handling, acceleration and features far exceeds the my other luxury coupe test drives. The complaints on the iDrive are understood, but I use the voice control to access just about anything on the menu, without touching the iDrive. I live in the Miami area where there are many, many lux coupes out there, but the BMW always turn heads. Absolutely, no regrets buying this car.

    The car is exceptionally beautiful, with clean sophisticated lines. The top is a wonder and absolutely effortless. The car drives like a dream, it never seems to run out of power. It is responsive and surprisingly nimble considering its size. I will never regret buying this car.

  • WOW! - 2006 BMW 6-Series
    By -

    I just took European delivery of my 650i convertible in Munich, Germany. I loved every minute that I spent in the car. I am already in withdrawal waiting for the car to arrive in Atlanta! Even though I was babying the engine for the 1200 mile break-in period, I was still amazed at the power and performance even though the rpms didnt exceed 4500. I was even able to go 150 mph on the autobahn and not go past 4500 rpms. In a word: WOW!

  • To Live For - 2006 BMW 6-Series

    I just knew on the day that I test-drove both the coupe and the convertible that I was going to get my own coupe. The look says: Thats right, I am mean. You insert the key and you hear that aggressive rumble in the back. You press on the throttle a couple of times and you realized that youve been smiling like an idiot. Depress the traction control and activate the Sport button and the car takes off likes hell on wheels. Find a loop and keep pushing against the curb -never touch the brakes- and youll feel like you are ready for NASCAR. All the while, people will try to catch up with you so they can give you the "thumbs up". The car makes you want to drive while making you look better.

  • Better than expected - 2006 BMW 6-Series

    I love this car. Driving it is even better than I imagined it would be as I waited for it to arrive.

  • best convertible ever - 2006 BMW 6-Series

    This car handles incredibly and offers a very quiet interior ride compared to many convertibles.

  • Best of the Best - 2006 BMW 6-Series
    By -

    This car is top notch ! After evaluating several convertibles and fun cars and considering the BMW 7 series (there isnt a convertible) I chose the 650 convertible and havent been sorry !! The POWER is incredible, the looks I get driving it and the special fun of driving with the top down ! GREAT GREAT GREAT car ! Love the voice commands !! J.

  • Great car... but - 2006 BMW 6-Series
    By -

    Car is a great blend of luxury and performance. It is really a great drivers car able to do the commute as well as the weekend get away. Trunk is small with top down, but still fits golf bags. Dont get this car if you dont like to draw attention to yourself. Am always having people come over and talk to me about how the car looks.

  • Awesome car! - 2006 BMW 6-Series
    By -

    If you can afford this car and want a FAST, great handling coupe, go buy one. My old BMW doesnt even compare to this car. You wont see very many on the road and heads will turn when you drive by. I cant say enough great things about this car.

  • Gonna Love It - 2006 BMW 6-Series
