I wanted a year around convertible grand tourer with a back seat and a useable trunk that was fun and comfortable to drive. I looked for six months and having given up on other brands I finally turned to BMW. The 650xi always puts a smile on my face especially with the top down. Depending on your previous vehicle it may take some getting used to, however. It is "low rider" and while there are more seat controls than a pilots control panel, you may not find the right seating arrangement initially. The car is second nature to me now and very comfortable in every way. The more options your 650 has, the more you will continue to find new features continually. I purchased the car used and have had it for 18 months and appreciate it every time I drive it. It's good in the snow and l always feel safe in it. The convertible top is not as insulated from sound as I would like for highway driving but other than that I have no complaints. It is a satisfying vehicle.

I’ve owned a plethora of high-end luxury vehicles and this is hands down my favorite. It looks and acts tough and like a rebellious child, it does NOT like to follow the rules and drive slow! The only real negative I can remotely find is that the back seat will only fit a very short person as there is little to no legroom back there. The gas gauge tends to move a bit fast but I knew that going into it...8 cylinders and twin turbos tend to help that along. Time to drop the top and enjoy my day!
