Big, beautiful, and brash, BMW’s 650i Sport Convertible is one of the most luxurious soft-top cruisers on the market, but don’t confuse that with laid-back or docile. Stretch out your right boot; the 4.8-litre super-smooth V8 is all business. BMW has created a desirable soft top that, while impeccably appointed, never compromises performance or handling. In short, the 650i Sport Convertible drives as well as any serious GT hardtop.
The 650i, regularly serviced by BM Works (Preston), is an excellent example of BMW’s technology and style. This model sports a 4.8L V8 with a 6-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox. It has tinted windows, an upgraded black kidney grill, and an extended rear boot spoiler lip. In 2006, the BMW 650i E64 Convertible model retailed for $204,000.00.
Inside, it’s an incredibly comfortable place to be with more technological kit on board than a Space Shuttle. Luxurious, yes; cluttered, no. BMW has been careful to use a minimalist approach to luxury in the 650i Sport while being entirely functional, especially when it comes to the mostly metal-fabricated switchgear. Settle back into the superbly contoured leather seats, which, while large and sumptuous, are also suitably bolstered to hold you in place during some quick driving through your favourite curves. The badge on the back of the car simply says “650i,” but this is the Sport version, which means it’s got a superbly crafted M-sports steering wheel and several other standout features, including Sports Suspension, which gives this car a sportier feel and, surprisingly, better fuel economy. With a kerb weight of 1860 kilograms, the 650i Sport is no lightweight, so improved fuel economy is even more impressive than it might sound. This is especially true when you consider that 0-100km/h takes just 5.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to a rapid 250km/h. With a very responsive and very willing 4.8-litre V8 under the bonnet, punch the throttle, and you’ll be rewarded with a positively tuned engine note and silky smooth power delivery, thanks to the 6-speed automatic box. But if you really want to get moving, hit the ‘Sport’ button, which holds the gear ratios a little longer. Like all BMWs, the steering is perfectly weighted, precise and quick to respond, requiring only minimal inputs, which feels entirely natural. Of course, there is an extensive inventory of additional luxury and convenience features that are worthy of mention. They include the brilliant and super safe Head-Up Display and High beam assist, which eliminates the need to dip your headlights for an oncoming car. Boot space in most convertibles is usually compromised, but the 650i Sport Convertible manages a creditable 350 litres of load space.
