I haven’t 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. Owner’s manual(s) don’t 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 driver’s car.
Favorite Features
Convertible top design and storage. Power and acceleration. iDrive improvements (easier to use). Bluetooth. Interior layout. Upgrades to the nav system since my 2005 545.
Suggested Improvements
Needs at least enough room in the glove box to fit the book of owners manuals. Cupholders in the front are needed. Remove the shift paddles on the steering wheel.

After much deliberation, I bought a new 650i coupe. I always liked it generally, but could not imagine a car at this price without an opening sunroof. You have to drive it to understand that the trade off is a beautiful panoramic experience through the roof glass with ventilation still available. The trunk area, which I always saw as ugly Bangle bungling, is subtly changed and now much more acceptable to me. The brake light previously near the back window is now integrated into the deck lid. It just looks better. People really rubber neck; a nice extra.
Favorite Features
HUD; bluetooth, xenon lights, “growl”, interior chrome on cup holder and steering wheel. Endless acceleration.
Suggested Improvements
Paddle shifters not intuitive, rear deck still leaves styling opportunity, nav screen graphics need upgrade.
