2006 BMW 650i Cabriolet

Ian has been the custodian of this lovely 2006 BMW 650i Convertible Sport for the past 8 years. Within his ownership Ian has enjoyed the car immensely, and covering around 35,000 miles in it has been an absolute pleasure.

The 650 has been well maintained throughout Ian’s ownership and also the previous keeper’s, this can be seen with a fully stamped service book to back this up. The car has also been through a full BMW check on 20th October 2021 at 82,422 miles. This was after a recall to check some items, which were all as they should be.

The BMW check came back all clear with just a note on the rear tyres that had a slight feathering to the edge, other than that a clean bill of health was given to the 650i.

Registered in 2006, the 650i came fully loaded with a whole host of goodies added to the German Autobahn cruiser, including satellite navigation, leather, cruise control, air conditioning and electric everything, making for a well specced luxury convertible cruiser, which is quite capable of being used everyday should you wish.

There's no doubt about it, the BMW 650i Convertible Sport is a stunning looking car from whichever angle you look at it. The smooth sleek lines flow from front to rear giving the grand tourer the perfect aerodynamics, and taking the roof off just enhances the looks even more.

There are a few light stone chips to the front bumper, which we would say are in keeping with the age and mileage of the BMW. The headlights are in good order with no splits or chips to the lenses. These are also automatic and auto dimming when in main beam mode, and are obviously working as they should. Moving further up, the windscreen does have a chip on the driver’s side, which does get noted as an advisory, but is out of therelevent zone to cause an MoT failure. It has also been filled so it shouldn't get any worse. Around to the sides, the car has escaped any car park injuries and so is therefore as straight as you would expect looking down the flanks of the two-door grand tourer. The windows are in good condition, with no obvious scratches jumping out. The roof is also in excellent condition, thanks to Ian keeping the car garaged throughout his 8 year ownership, there are just a few light creases showing as often seen on any convertible.

To the rear and this is also in excellent condition, with no scuffs to mention thanks to the factory fit parking sensors. The vertical rear window operates as it should when the button is pressed to lower the roof. Twin tailpipes finish the rear, which sound fantastic from the V8 soundtrack.

In 2020 the original 7 spoke alloy wheels were refurbished and powder coated in Silver, which are still in excellent condition. The tyres are different from front to rear. They do have some wear to them but have plenty of miles left ready for the new keeper.

Everything you need and more! The fully electric and heated front seats are finished in cream leather, which are in nice condition and working as they should. There is some slight discoloration and wear to the driver’s side bolster as often seen on any sports seat. Being a 2 plus 2, the rear seat is in excellent condition and doesn't look to have seen a great deal of use in it’s life.

The dashboard is as you would expect, with everything working as it should. For your convenience there is satellite navigation fitted, and a glove box mounted CD multichanger coupled to a very nice and excellent sounding audio system. The buttons for all of the switches in the BMW show little or no signs of wear. The odometer is showing a reading of 83,514 miles, and there are no warning lights to worry about when the engine is running.

Cream/beige carpets finish off the interior, which are in excellent condition having been covered by mats both in the front and rear. Inside the boot is not the biggest of spaces due to the roof needing space to fold into. This is clean like the rest of the car. The warning triangle is present and lifting up the false floor reveals the factory tools still in place.

BMW’s N62 engine is fitted to the 650i, which is a 4.8 litre V8 producing 362 bhp and 361lb-ft of torque, propelling the 650i from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 155 mph.

The 4.8 litre V8 starts up as it should and is reported to run like a dream. The sound of the V8 purrs from the twin tailpipes which can be seen and heard in our video of the car. There are no untoward noises coming from the engine bay or any issues to mention.

The gearbox is a 6-speed which is nice and smooth when the car is pulling through the gears. For those of you who want a little extra, there is always the sport button waiting to be pressed.

The engine bay is well presented, as is the underside, with nothing looking out of place in either area.

A luxury Grand Tourer which is fully loaded with electric, heated and leather seats, sat nav and an excellent audio system. You also get creature comfort things like the auto headlights, which are also auto dimming, an auto dimming rear view mirror, electric windows, mirrors and roof. Everything is in place to maximize the pleasure of driving this luxury German machine.

A fully stamped service book is present, along with the driver’s handbooks and 2 sets of keys. As mentioned, a recent BMW health check was carried out showing the car is in excellent order.

Often described as one of the best handling BMW’s of its time, the 6 Series is definitely a convertible to rival other top end luxury manufacturers. Packed full of technology and safety features, the 650i really is the complete package, blistering acceleration, luxury and comfort, with still the feel of a sports car thanks to the stability of the 6 Series.

The 650i Convertible Sport can easily be used every day or quite happily be something for the weekend getaway. Built to munch up the miles on the autobahn or be thrown around the twisty B roads with the roof down. One thing it doesn't do is disappoint!

We estimate that this 2006 BMW 650i Convertible Sport will bring in the region of £8,000 - £12,000.
