Introduced at the 2003 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW E63 6-Series was the third BMW to exhibit Chris Bangle’s controversial flame-sided styling language and the first sports car, making it arguably less controversial than the 5-Series and 7-Series saloons.
With its slab sides and high boot line, the 6-Series was offered as both a Coupé and a Convertible. It was developed off the platform of the E60 5-Series, but with a shorter chassis and wheelbase and a wider track for better handling and agility.
This one is particularly desirable. Not only is it a 650Ci but it’s also the range-topping convertible model with an incredible spec and a comprehensive main dealer maintenance record.

SUMMARY
Smart, unruined examples of the E63 are getting harder and harder to find and there are many abused and tired high-mileage examples around, which makes good ones hugely desirable. This is a good one.
As classy and elegant big convertibles go, the 6-Series represents astonishing value and with a main dealer history and in the flagship spec, this one must be up there with the best on the market. A really smart and well looked-after car that promises to be an absolute pleasure to own and drive.
It's a lovely car in superb condition throughout, and a wise investment as a future classic.
This is a exceptionally rare machine as 650's often get passed around especially a car of this caliber - being a convertible, they often go from owner to owner in the summer months. This is as rare as they come a 650i Convertible that has been looked after and by its one owner from birth. This is a true collectors machine. It is not often you see any convertible that has had one owner from new, let alone a powerhouse like this 650i. It is very unusual to see a one owner 650i, then you bring the Convertible aspect into it, this is finished by the even rarer main dealer service history. This is definitely one for the collectors to put away for those special occasions when they want to feel like James Bond - shaken not stirred!
