2008 BMW 650I

Description

This 2008 BMW 650i is your stick-shift drop-top Bimmer dream car. After all, it's not only an ideal engine/transmission setup, but you're also looking at a well-kept one-owner example. So it's amazing you can find such a desirable total package for such a value price.

This BMW looks striking with its factory Atlantic Blue Metallic, and the color is quite right considering this car has spent its whole life in the southeast. In fact, this one-owner car landed from Germany in Charleston and has spent its full life thus far in the Atlanta area. This is an actual mileage car, and so the finish does reflect real use and enjoyment. But you can also see responsible ownership and superior German construction in the way the car has an overall smooth look and hard shine. And everything from the clean headlights to the way the doors close with authority give you that upper-class feeling. So it retains that premium style that makes this 650i so irresistible. Even the power folding roof is in a complementing shade of gray. So, the precision elegance remains even with the snug-fitting top in place.

The black leather interior provides a nice contrast to the light paint color. We also like this because a dark color like this makes for easier care when you want a true driver's car. The condition of the interior is pretty impressive You do have the typical wear in the usual place like the driver's seat bolster, but nothing is abused. And while you have a usable back seat, you can see this was never a family hauler. So it shows the kind of attention you expect from a one-owner car. This was a range-topping mode when new, and so it's loaded with the best features like power front seats, power locks, power windows, keyless entry, cruise control, a tilt/telescopic steering column, and heated seats. This is truly a modern machine, so you get safety features like dual front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes. And more than just safety, this modern BMW has the right technology, like the iDrive system that controls features like the AM/FM/CD stereo, satellite navigation, backup camera, and Bluetooth. And just like any good German-engineered car, there are plenty of smart touches that range from the electric rear window that doubles as a wind deflector, to dual-zone automatic climate control so you and your passengers are always comfortable with the top down. But even with all these luxuries, you'll be reminded this is a true driver's car the moment you grab the three-spoke sports steering wheel in your left hand and the rare stick shift with your right one. This even has a head-up display for a true sports car experience.

The 650 was a later addition to the E63 6-Series lineup, and it was absolutely worth waiting for. The fuel-injected 4.8-liter V8 offered a 32-valve, DOHC setup to offer a versatile powerhouse with 360 hp right from the factory. This motor has been celebrated around the world as one of the most spirited large displacement engines of its time. But it's not just a great V8 that makes this convertible superior. It has a six-speed manual transmission - a rarely-seen feature that adds fun to the driving experience and will likely make it even more desirable as it matures into a full classic. Add to this four-wheel power disc brakes, speed-sensitive power steering, and an impressively engineered fully independent suspension - now that's an unbeatable driving package!

The sale comes complete with the original window sticker and the owner's manual packet. Distinct top-down German luxury has never been this affordable. The only problem is you're not the only one who sees this exceptional deal. So hurry up and call today!
