2007 BMW 650i Convertible

Engine & Performance

Engine: 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 (N62B48), producing approximately 360 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque

Transmission & Drivetrain: 6-speed automatic with Steptronic manual shift mode, Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)

Performance: 0-60 mph in approximately 5.3 to 5.6 seconds, electronically limited top speed of 155 mph, fuel economy around 15 mpg city / 22 mpg highway, and a curb weight of roughly 4,200 lbs.

Exterior

Black exterior paint with matching black soft-top convertible roof, dark or blacked-out alloy wheels, distinctive Chris Bangle-era styling with the sculpted trunk lid ('Bangle butt'), sleek wrap-around headlights with amber reflectors, and low-slung grand tourer proportions.

Interior Features

Luxury leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats, iDrive infotainment system with a central display screen, premium audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a thick-rimmed leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Condition Assessment

Fair to Good. The vehicle appears to be sitting on grass with auction or inventory markings on the windshield, indicating it might be a project, salvage, or recently acquired vehicle. The front hood/bumper alignment near the nose looks slightly askew.

Condition Issues: Visible writing on the windshield suggests it is coming from an auction or storage. The front bumper and hood gap look slightly misaligned or unlatched. Paint shows typical age-related wear, and the black wheels appear to have a matte or plastidip finish that may be wearing.

Estimated Mileage: 100,000 to 140,000 miles

Historical Significance

Representing BMW's bold and controversial design language under chief designer Chris Bangle during the 2000s, the E64 6-Series brought high-tech lightweight materials (aluminum front ends and composite trunk lids) and advanced electronics to the luxury grand tourer class.

Notable Features

Active Roll Stabilization, optional Head-Up Display (HUD), dynamic driving control, and the iconic multi-layered acoustic soft top with a vertical rear glass window that can be lowered independently of the roof.

Production Numbers

Approximately 116,000 total units of the E63 coupe and E64 convertible were produced globally during its production run from 2003 to 2010, with the vast majority sold in the US and European markets.

Maintenance Recommendations

Check for coolant leaks from the notorious valley pan gasket, monitor valve stem seals for blue smoke (common N62 V8 issue), inspect the complicated convertible top mechanism for hydraulic leaks, and verify proper electrical functioning of the early-generation iDrive system.

Fun Facts

1. The polarizing rear trunk design penned by Adrian van Hooydonk under Chris Bangle earned the affectionate and sometimes infamous enthusiast nickname 'Bangle Butt'. 2. Despite its heavy luxury features, the E64 650i uses a carbon-fiber reinforced plastic trunk lid and aluminum front structure to save weight. 3. The V8 engine found in the 650i won the prestigious International Engine of the Year award in its displacement category.
