BMW 650i....65k Miles Later

- The 2007 BMW 650i with 65k miles. This particular 2007 BMW 650i is the E64 chassis as it is a convertible 6 series. This 2007 BMW 650i review will also be a test of how well it has held up with nearly 65k miles on it but I have alway appreciate older BMWs as they have a very nice connected feel to them.

#BMW #luxury #review
Always appreciated the way older BMWs drive. I really enjoyed this brawny V8 had a muscle car feel to it. If you would like to see what cars I work on next, follow on insta @exhaustsports or become a Patreon member. Thanks again for all your support.
the 6 series has always had a brawn to it. recall the first: 633csi of the 1970s.
Hey i've alaways wanted one of these but was torn with the Camaro, my main thing is maintenance you said the warranties aren't that bad huh?
@@regrich8795 bro I just got one not bad at all!! Just don't be racing!! It's meant to cruise!! It's no where near slow! Got one for sale now a 6 speed manual respond if your interested!!!
I already own one, but I still watch these kind of videos. Just to confirm how awesome my car is
Same here, mine is exactly like the one in the video, difference is it's a 645i EU spec.
It's the best car ever.
My uncle had one and I was never a bmw fan but the 6 series will always be my favorite bmw models.
I've always been a BMW but now, not so much but yes I like the 6 series
I loved this car when it first came out, and I still love the way it looks today, great review bro!
Thanks so much my friend! Yea this is by far the most Unique BMW design I like it a lot
@@MeynMotorGroup 👍💯
06..650i convertible.. White with black top 22" chrome with white accent. I'll never get rid of my awesome car❤😊
El mío es todo negro!! Lo amo❤ nunca lo dejare ir!
most beautiful car ever
Great looking car still. You hardly see them around these days so it can still feel like you have a unique vehicle.
Absolutely my friend! This is def the most unique BMW I feel like
Mr. Marv tbh u probably don’t see them cause the engines aren’t very reliable
@@ruemonbhattacharyya7730 I was kind of waiting for this comment lol
Facts, that makes me happy too because I bought one a year ago, been customizing it and changed the instrument cluster to the oled one changed the stereo to the android apple carplay one and changed my rims and tires ect, I still have more things to do to it but I can't wait until she's complete. Definitely a head turner even today
Great review..I still love how these 650's look!! I'm glad you reviewed it!!
Thanks so much my friend I really appreciate that. Yea I always appreciated the way this generation of 6 series looked such a unique BMW design! Can’t thank you enough for stopping by and watching
@@MeynMotorGroup no problem
Man this design bro... its like its forgotten because its now a damn 15+ year old car... but when you see it.... oh you realize again the ageless timeless beautiful design of this coupe.. seriously
It's a timeless design that will never get old. It's kind of sad that they did away with the 6 series.
Future classic
That's true
100%
I’m on my third 650i all LCI models but I’ve still had to replace the valve stem seals on my current one, a 2010 model(last year of production). Will agree with you on the rewarding feel especially for the size and weight.
Thanks for stopping by I appreciate you sharing your ownership experiences. Yea this was an awesome ride!
Hi , blast from the past , would you mind sharing how much the work to replace the valve seals etc cost?
@@andyp8464 depends on where you are mate. I’m based in the UK, and there is a reputable garage in the midlands PMP that do the valve stems replacement for the N62 in situ with the specific tools for 995GBP all in. If you’re based in the south, which I am. I had mine done by another specialist CPC performance in Amersham, North West off of London for around 1200ish. This was a few years ago now so prices may have increased
@Eric Lam mate that's much appreciated 👍thanks for the super useful info.
hopefully wouldn't have gone much up from that price. I'm down in Surrey and unfortunately the one I'm picking up has 20 inch rims and the tyres fitted are not great so rectifying just the tyres is 1k so I'd hope I don't have to throw more cash at the car. It is low mileage, around 67k but that doesn't mean much in the context of the valve sealants and coolant pipe etc
If I like the car and decide to keep it for a few years I might preemptively do the work but I fear I tend to swap cars around rather quickly 🤣
bro I love your reviews this was your best one yet I love how effortlessly review the car! It's finally good to see someone do a completely positive review on these cars because too many people do half and half reviews and then you get people skeeved out not to get one when in reality they really are truly great cars if taken care of and not beating the crap out of. I don't understand the point of someone buying a beautiful car like this and then going beating the crap out of them. Go buy a 325 or 328 if you want to go beat the crap out of it don't waste this beautiful masterpiece of a car that's how I always looked at it. You don't manhandle the 650 this is a gentleman's car. Anyways brother I really just wanted to tell you I appreciated the review and then definitely I'm going to go pick one up now for a weekend car. I agree with you on the transmission issue as well it's really not as bad as people think I also test test drove and I was actually very impressed with how smooth it was. Was wondering if you'd be willing to do one on a 550 of the same era the E60 just to see a comparison maybe for people if you could do maybe an M sport one like a 2008 to 2010 model I think it would be good idea to do both the 650 and 550 video. I have two big dogs so I would rather consider the 550 with the space so it'd be nice to see if a video on them. Keep it up brother love the content can't wait to see the next one! God bless Happy Thanksgiving!
This car came out right after I got my driver's license. It's so weird hearing someone call it "an older BMW". I feel really old now. =D
Haha yea I know what you mean I remember the generation after came out and that's when I got my license lol always loved the 6 series
I love my 2008 650i fun car !
Yes indeed
This is the 6speed automatic (torque converter)
The smg is a semi manual transmission
I’m literally in the process of picking my next car. Spending the winter exploring. It will be a 3rd for me. I love this market because cars like this, and others of similar year and caliber are less than $18,000 with low low miles! And worth the extra cash to get into perfect running condition
Thank you Kevin.
Very good review... I'm looking to go from a 645ci to a 50 convertible
Steptronic trans, not SMG
Thanks for this great video!! I‘m thinking about buying a 650i, maybe the stick version 😊
Kind regards from Vienna/Austria :))
Nice! Stick would be incredible but as always, make sure you are covered with a warranty my friend. Thanks again for stopping by and showing support
Saludos asta Austria!!!Amo tanto a Viena!!Que estas vacaciones me quedare asta que pase la Navidad!!
I drove a 2015 I think it was, 650 and dude what a car as a matter of fact I think I still have pictures of it on my phone!
Hey, I was going through and emailing a bunch of manufacturers for press cars and found your email that one time you sent regarding those trucks you drove that was cool haha.
How did you like that newer 650i would love to know my friend
'08 E63 650i owner here says hello.
Thank you for stopping by my friend epic car!
How reliable has your e63 been I’m loooking at one now 645ci
Is maintenance expensive on this car?
I always like the 650. Nice width to height ratio. 12.5k is a pretty sweet price point too. Headlight style has not aged super well. The dash cover made me laugh too
Yes I like the way you put that it really does have nice width to height to even length ratio lol. Headlights I agree probably not my favorite part about the car but it will do I suppose. Car is actually around $9,000 now haha.
So the dash is apparently “webbing” not sure what that is and I’m also not sure where they got that perfectly aligned dash cover from either 😂
@@MeynMotorGroup I thought the same thing and had to pause your video to see how it was so custom fit ha
Right lol very custom but we still need to link up weather has been so crappy tho
@@MeynMotorGroup I'm guessing the "webbing" means that it is striating; breaking down due to sun exposure / lack of conditioning.
@@MeynMotorGroup can i get it for that price??
Im picking up a 645ci convertible as a commuter and weekend cruiser and for lazy family trips. The car is 4
4 v8 and only 330hp. Its a bit underpowered but my driveway has an e63s so i can use that for hooning
During my test drive i found it was comfortable , rear visibility sucks on the vert and its a big boat of a car. With 4 seats 350l boot with roof up, its actually a decent car. The hydraulic steering is good but as was the case with my e46 m3, im not a fan of steering deadzone around the centre , but still has plenty of feel.
Only question mark is whether it will have the coolant hose or valve seal issues and whether the roof is going to hold up. 67k miles only on the clock so im hoping it can so another 40k
thanks this was very informative ! ;)
i love that car
Great video. Cheers from Denmark (fun fact: in Denmark this car would cost roughly 45.000 USD because of out taxes :((( )
Hey thank you very my friend for stopping by. Yea cars in other countries can easily be over twice as expensive as they are in the states due to many of the fees and taxes that you mentioned which is unfortunate
This is not an SMG. This is automatic. SMG has +/- paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
Oh good to know
what does SMG mean? I have paddle shifters on my steering wheel. I love them.
@@mjtfield Sequential Manual Gearbox or Serious Money Grabber!
would you recommend for a good daily?
That’s a sweet car. I’m just curious: Did you test the convertible top? I also laughed at that dashboard carpeting and the amazing Sony not figuring out where the light went!
I was not able to test the Convertible top unfortunately as it has been raining for the past week here haha. Yea Sony has some hiccups but I still can’t argue with the quality as I am an amateur when it comes to handling a camera lol
Sorry Pal, that is NOT the SMG: just 6 speed auto
I remember the first thing i did when i got my Mom’s Corolla was i removed the dashboard carpet
Haha thanks again Michael for stopping by. The dealership told me the dash was “webbing” do you know what that means lol
I’m dying to get one ,but have been scared away by listening to some people here about the engine being so bad . Now I think it’s those high miles car or burned out some way. What do you think ? Thanks Ive see most of your videos .
Oh you need a warranty no questions asked my.friend or I wouldn't even touch this car
Exhaust Sports Auto Ók thank you !! I believe you are right !!
I have the straight 6 cylinder 630i it looks exactly the same and it's still fast (0.8 second slower to 60mph ) , the engine is more reliable, and the fuel consumption is better. I can get over 40 mpg on the motorway/ highway. I stay in Scotland. I've had the car for over five years and I've loved every day of it. Random people often comment on how good it looks. Best of all I've had nothing major to repair so far, so it has been inexpensive luxury motoring for me. And I didn't get a warranty....If you get one I hope all goes well for you !!!!😊
Ian Morrison I’m looking at a 2005 645ci tomorrow hope it does good as yours
@@ianmorrison6798
Thank's
2007 black on black 650i w/ 115k miles for sale near me, worth say 8500$?
I just bought a bmw e64 last week
Love the look of the vehicle. Nice touring car , too bad the repairs and maintenance can be a nightmare....but it is a bmw
That carpeting on the dash...I guess this is some custom made "sun protection" the owner got.
Can i still choose to slap a warranty on a 2010 650i im thinking of buying tomorrow? It only has 45k miles on it...
Yes just talk to the dealership you will be buying from every warranty company is different and make sure you know what that warranty covers, not just power train but electronics too
Five adverts on this video, one for each litre?
Small channel problems 😔
????...No redesign in 08... simple facelift in 2007. The 6 series was redesigned around 2011.
Easy to lose traction? Not at all. Maybe with shitty rear tyres or runflats (there are Potenza runflatds on the car you reviewed). With MIchelin PS4 I have hard time to actually make the rear wheels slip (it's another story with all assist systems turned off, but you get that with any strong engine vehicle)..
Potenza (summer) is a good tire
I can't stand run flats. when mine need replacing I will get normal tires.
Does anyone recommend a good warranty company out there ?
What exhaust system is on it?
Looking to get one now but that os not the smg model.
Do you have extend
Just got a 650i 2006!!!! 😎
Yo u ran into any problems yet I’m thinking of getting one
@@rajsingh2411 2008 owner… skip it lol
Interesting it has a dashboard cover. Is that for blocking the sun reflection?
Haha apparently they told me the dash was “webbing” not sure what that means but that’s why that carpeting is there. But yes it was kind of nice it covers the whole dash and prevents sun damage haha
@@MeynMotorGroup I think they mean cracking (webbing like spider webbing) maybe?
these old 650’s are notorious for the dash cracking badly. I’ve looked at several with this issue and the dealers will put those ugly covers on it! Its an expensive fix as well!! You can most likely neg harder if you can live with it but then its gonna come back to haunt you whenever you sell.
WTF you look like my cousin
This is the exact car I'm looking for , know where I can find one I'm in Texas
Check cargurus my friend!
@@MeynMotorGroup nothing, but I did find an 06 anything I should look for?
Yes forums and get the best warranty possible
@@MeynMotorGroup most warranty companies won't write on a '06. I bought an '08 650i convertible with only 56k miles on it but the warrantors wouldn't even consider it.
@@mjtfield do these cars just crater
You know what’s funny, I was just looking at the 2009 bmw 650i v8! What a coincidence! But ion know about long term reliability
Haha that’s awesome and yea man we are all car enthusiasts and these cars always intrigue us. They truly are great but you have to get warranty with these cars so at least that way you’re covered when mishaps occur. That’s mainly why I rock with this dealership so much because it’s like $2700 to warranty most of these Euro cars like this for 3 years
@@MeynMotorGroup hey how do you get a warranty
Is maintenance expensive?
Absolutely

you keep calling this thing "Coupe" ???? its an CONVERTIBLE :)))

Its not a coupe.
You must be a riot at social gatherings
To much talk just drive
Why would you watch a review if you don’t want to learn anything? Do you use telepathy to communicate? Why not just stare at pictures of the car instead since you don’t need information
First 😃
Haha yes you are can't thank you enough for your support my friend
