Overview & Reviews

There are a few changes in store for the 2008 BMW 6 Series coupe and convertible. The previously optional SMG (sequential manual gearbox) transmission has been dropped in favor of a new sport-oriented automatic transmission. Other changes include freshened exterior styling, a new lane departure warning system, a USB adapter for an iPod or MP3 player, and a tweaked version of iDrive for improved user-friendliness.

• Seamless acceleration from refined V8, nimble handling that belies its proportions, smooth and quiet ride, elegantly crafted interior, ample trunk space in the coupe.

• Limited rear seat room, controversial styling, iDrive system still too complex for some.

  Headsup Fabulous - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By Carmelcarol - April 22 - 10:00 pm

  This is one sweet automobile. So responsive, amazing comfort in the drivers seat ( great lumbar and head support). And the headsup display is invaluable - what a car. Cant wait to really get it on the road for a trip. Love it, love it, love it.

  650 convertible 2008 - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By AMM - April 2 - 2:01 am

  I had the 650 for 12 months and I regret getting it: Too much money for what you get. I paid $90K+, includes: conv, auto, sports pckg, head-up display is an absolutely stupid option, convenience key is not necessary and HD radio that never worked right dealer said it works best in the city but not in the suburbs where I live, thx and heated seats. I could have gotten a better car for $90K or a great car at a much lower price but not $90K+ for 360 HP. This is my 3rd BMW I have a 01-740i and a 05-330cic both are great but the 650 at this price level is a disappointment, not only in lack of HP but in technology/computer etc. Take your time, compare and shop wisely before you commit to a 650.

  Fun to Drive - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By Stuboat - December 25 - 8:11 am

  I have had lots of cars in my life, including MBs, other BMWs, a Porsche but none have been more fun to drive or more luxurious. The 6spd manual is terrific and the sport mode just adds a little more sports car feel. The iDrive complaints Ive heard dont register with me. In less than a day, my phone was working with bt, I was using voice commands and the navigation system. This car is a head turner and all the gadgets are fun to play with, including the convertible top. I also like the throaty sound, especially in sports mode. There is no question that the backseat is next to useless but I intend to use this car as a two-seater any way.

  What a beauty - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By Frank Black - September 10 - 6:27 pm

  This is by far my favorite car. The handling and power are outstanding. With the top dropped, my passion for driving fast can be fully realized. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who enjoys open air driving.

  What a Kick - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By Eric Corkhill - July 24 - 10:47 am

  Got an 08 Sapphire Black convertible with saddle leather. Awesome to drive. Extremely responsive steering and brakes. Doesnt feel like the heavy car that it is. Ample power and acceleration through all gears although could be quicker off the line. First time user of iDrive and find it to be much more intuitive then car magazine editors complaints. Fuel economy is better then expected. Getting 26+ mpg on highways with 18 in city driving. Interior noise is also better then expected. The back panel window really cuts down on both noise and turbulence. Only complaint is that the rear speakers seem to be under amped and some navigational clumsiness between iDrive commands.

  Cant believe it is mine - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By diane nushawg - May 31 - 2:50 am

  Custom made for me, in Germany this year. It is truly beautiful. I ordered the saddle color seats. It is truly the best choice in convertibles and when the top is up and your on the highway so quiet you think you are in a hardtop.

  Adult Rollercoaster - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By AdamFisch - March 25 - 10:42 pm

  Take 1 drive in this puppy, and you will realize why they call it the ultimate driving machine. By far the most fun I have had driving a car. Eats a lot of gas, the backseat is for looks not for passengers.

  You Wont Regret it! - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By Soldes - March 19 - 6:16 pm

  Agonized many a times about spending this kind of $ for a car. After 1 week of driving it, this machine is worth every dollar, not only in its performance and peerless handling, but in the way it makes you feel when you are behind the wheel. Extreme luxury, awsome handle, superb sports performance, plus the WOW! factor all in one package.

  Beautiful Car - 2008 BMW 6-Series
  By rasvegas - January 3 - 1:38 pm

  I havent owned a convertible in years so I thought it was time. I added the sport package, upgraded sound system and 21" chrome wheels. The car is stunning. I get comments and looks constantly, especially when the top is down. There is still not enough storage space inside the vehicle. Glove box is small, center console storage is small. Owners manual(s) dont even fit in the glove box. There are no cupholders in the front. But for styling, power, comfort, and electronic amenities, this is a great car. This is a true drivers car.
