Has anyone, who has moved from a 550 to 650, have any comments about the change?
I am considering it, and am open to feedback.
Thanks for any thoughts.

I have driven several miles in a 650. My brother in law has one and the dealer has given me one on 2 occasiions during service work. While it is an absolute joy to drive, it is completey impractical vs a 550.If you don't need the room they are fine .They are BMWs worst car for snow and something else I didn't like was the sunroof. It pops up but doesn't go back, Hey it's a BMW and it is a great driver but I would never get one , nice to borrow every once in a while . ( IMHO )

Cheers

Thanks for the thoughts. I test drove a 650CI Friday night. Good comment on the
sun roof seeing how it was a drop top! The car was nice, no sport package / auto trans.
Like the pm I sent NeRwEEzy ealier, when I returned home I drove my 550 and again found out why I
love the thing I guess one must be careful what one wants, and just enjoy what one has!!!!!
Thanks agin for the comments guys!
