The Appeal
The E63 6-Series replaced BMW’s flagship 8-Series by taking what was good about that car, namely the effortless performance, quality, and luxury, and returning a healthy dose of the original E24 6-Series’ style and agility. It proved a winning formula and a distinctive alternative to less engaging European rivals.
The 650i is a canny choice that boosts performance without the complexity of the V10-engined M6. It is a much more relaxed cruiser, making it perfect for long-distance mile-munching. This 2008 car eschews more common silvers in favour of attractive Tiefsee Blue metallic, matched with a black leather cabin generously trimmed in Maple Wood Grain. Inside and out, it is in great order, the only really notable point being some scuffs to the factory alloys.
The history file tells a similar story. There are 11 service stamps up to February 2025 at 103,456 miles, when we are told there was a major service including plugs and oil pressure control valves. The work has been undertaken by main dealers and BMW specialists. The current MOT runs to February 2027 with no advisories.
The care of this car’s duo of keepers is evident in the photos. A great choice for touring and weekend drives.
The vendor says:
“The car is an absolute joy to drive, can return 25mpg if driven sensibly. It's never let me down. The engine delivers great performance and, in sport mode, is very responsive and has the best V8 soundtrack around. Reluctant to sell, but I have bought a Maserati and can't accommodate 2 V8's !”
