The 650i sDrive is an easy choice. On top of a bigger and more powerful engine, this trim comes standard with some options you'd want from a luxury grand tourer, such as extra seat adjustability and a higher-quality sound system. All-wheel drive adds little benefit and extra weight that makes the car less fun to drive, so unless you plan for snow we recommend the rear-wheel-drive sDrive. If the V8 seems like overkill, the 640i's six-cylinder engine remains a potent, less expensive and more fuel-efficient option. Plus, you can still option everything from the V8Model: 2018 BMW 6 Series

Of course, there are sportier and smaller four-seat convertibles, and there are significantly more expensive ones too. But few can match the BMW 6 Series' blend of style, quality and comfort. Drivers will find both engine options satisfying, while available all-wheel drive allows four-season practicality. While the current generation is dated, we still think the 2018 6 Series is worth considering if you're looking for a stylish luxury convertible. |
