The price of a BMW 650i class "cabriolet" is comparable to the cost of an apartment in a residential area of Moscow - more than 4.5 million rubles. This is how much the largest and most expensive convertible in the Bavarian brand's lineup costs - the top-end BMW cabriolet 650i with a turbocharged "eight" with a capacity of 407 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic.
This is a large 4-seater soft top car. But what does the owner of the open "six" get in exchange for his millions - a luxury car for weekend trips or a sports car for every day? Firstly, he gets a very fast unit: the capabilities of a 407-horsepower engine are always enough and everywhere, and our hero accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in a matter of 5 seconds. A powerful pickup is already felt from one and a half thousand revolutions, it continues almost to the cutoff. At the same time, the locomotive torque of 600 Nm is available to the driver in almost the entire range. The chassis of the new "six" mechatronic.
It has 4 driving options: Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+. Accordingwith the choice of the driver, the electronics will adjust the sensitivity of the trigger, the sharpness of the steering, the stiffness of the shock absorbers, the algorithm for changing gears and the threshold for the stabilization system. In any of these modes, the steering will be filled with juicy effort in corners, handling, especially in Sport mode, is almost flawless. Why almost? Because the reactions of the car feel heaviness, because the new BMW 650i has become larger than its predecessor and weighed almost a centner. Its mass is now almost 2 tons.
The car's suspension is good at smoothing out small asph alt defects, but it lacks elasticity. Rough bumps are accompanied by unpleasant bumps, and 20-inch wheels suffer from almost every pit. Maybe slow down and enjoy the luxury and sophistication that the Bavarians gave us?
Inside the convertible looks really luxurious: white and black leather, wood inserts, expensive plastic. The driver's seat with numerous electric adjustments is very comfortable. The seats have heating, ventilation and even a massager. But when jet riding, I would like to have more pronounced lateral support.
We will not talk too much about the optional set, let's just say that there is everything for comfortable movement. By convertible standards, the BMW 650i is a fairly practical car. Two adults can fit in the back. Of course, this is not a spacious "seven", but you can go. You can ride the "six" even in winter, because the three-layer roof does not let the cold into the cabin even when30-degree frost. One press of a button in the cabin, and after 19 seconds the roof will hide in the bowels of the trunk. It will take 25 seconds to lift it back up.
The BMW 650i has an iDrive multimedia system with a head-up display, a surround view system and even door closers. And this car can park on its own. The convertible has an automatic parallel parking system that works at speeds up to 35 km/h when the distance to a row of parked cars is no more than one and a half meters.
And what is the result? For a sports car, the sixth-series convertible was too heavy and unacceptably luxurious. This BMW is not made for the race track. And in order to enjoy the trip, a herd of 400 "horses" is not at all necessary. The open "six" is a car from a slightly different life, although in Moscow you can enjoy the BMW 650i. All you need is summer and good weather. The cost of the car has already been mentioned, but we repeat that for the top BMW 650i the price is 140 thousand dollars. Do not be surprised at the price, because the car is designed for its we althy audience. It should be noted that the price shown is for a 2012 BMW 650i.
