2008 BMW 650i Coupe and Convertible Preview

BMW 6 Series fans and enthusiasts will be pleased with the new 2008 650i Coupe and 650i Convertible, since it now comes with the new six-speed Sports Automatic Transmission as well as the six-speed manual transmission.


On the exterior, you can expect the standards like bi-xenon dual round headlights. New color options come in the metallic paint colors of Deep Sea Blue and Space Gray, and other options like the new light-alloy rims give the buyer a chance to enhance the already sporty elegance of the new BMW 6 Series to their liking. Since other car markers have been taking notice of BMW’s style and then subsequently copying it, BMW has given the rear deck lid and spoiler lip a more concave design to give the rear a more distinctive and dynamic look. In the front, the trademark kidney grill has been widened and integrated more with the lower spoiler in order to visually widen the stance of the car.

Inside, look for the new Chrome Pearl Grey Design as a nice finish on some controls and instruments. New colors for trim and upholstery like Saddle Brown will be also be optional. If you don’t like the standard aluminum trim, you can opt for trim made of trained maple wood or dark birch wood for a more elegant look. You can also go with the optional Pearl exclusive leather and add leather to the armrests, door grab handles, and the center console. Standards are the electrically adjustable seats for both driver and passenger as well as the three spots for seat position memory on the driver’s seat.

Slightly better lipstick, but it's still an obese pig. The elegant 635 seems a distant memory.

The 6 series has that great engine though. The Benz, you have to remember, does not have anywhere near the performance capability of this.
Anyway what are you comparing it to thee CLK? The SL is too expensive as well as the CL. This car looks insurmountably better than the rather dated CLK.

So says you MaranelloMaster.... Compared to the CLK550, the 650 actually loses the performance match up. Really though, I dont think Mercedes has anything to compete with the 6 in the same way BMW doesnt have anything to compete with the CLS or SL.

The looks are really a subjective thing. Personally I don't like it. But I own a CLK 550 Convertible(380hp). I looked at the 650(360hp) but it was smaller on the inside and had less power and I just really didnt like it as much. I looked at the Jag XK too but it was gonna cost me $90,000 and I wasn't too sure about the Jag. So I went with my CLK for the same price fully loaded. Plus Command is easier to deal with than iDrive.

My CLK has a big V8 Just like the S4. If its a chick car without a big engine its a chick car with it.
