Of course they do. When is related to warranty work for free and otherwise for a small price.

Probably it is slow compared with the M6,
It is slower than a 650i coup?, 550i, 545i, 645ci coup? .


1. It may not be here as warm as in Italy, but I can use a cabrio from April to September with the top down.
2. While we have a lot of cold weather, summer is very hot.
3. Even if some may think weather here is not good for a soft top, why judge me in public? I don't get it.
4. Our climate is way more warmer in summer than in Germany for example. Does this means they are not buying cabrios? Let's not even talk about guys in Sweeden.
5. I cannot understand your comment in this topic context. Please enlight me.
I couldn't prefer to appear a little more instead of performance .
Bye and enjoy your 1800 Kg 650i!

Yeah they do but nobody asked me.

And when i gave them my car for a small repair the guy that took it drove away with wheel spin. I saw that with my own eyes and couldn't belive it. Than i walked away...on foot.

Don't even get me started with the incompetence from our dealers (stealers).

Give the guy a break. 650 Convertible is a lovely car. If the ONLY thing that mattered was speed, we'd be driving round in Caterham's or something. A convertible 6 is an awesome car. So it's a little heavier and slower than a 545i - woopedoo - who gives a shit.

Don't know what your problem is with him or his car, but this forum is NOT the place to discuss it, stop making yourself sound like a dick.

Excellent selection of words, Russ!

1. I cannot see the 6er other than convertible, yeah the coupe is nice too, but this car is suppose to be all glamour...
2. The weather doesn't have anything to do with the fact that is convertible or not, I've seen a lots of convertible Saabs in Scandinavia ...
3. About the M6....

On the point of Cabrio versus Coupe. I don't care where you live, even if you get one day per year with ideal conditions and are able to spend that one day driving around an M6 Cabrio, that is a life well lived. Cabrio for sure!!
