Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Nimble handling for a big coupe, endless power from ultrasmooth V8, elegant interior design.
Cons
- iDrive controller is improved but still a nuisance, only one engine option.
What’s new
The 6 Series coupe is back after a 14-year hiatus from the BMW lineup. With eight-cylinder power and all the latest technology, it has the necessary ingredients to take on the world's finest luxury two-doors.
Edmunds says
A phenomenal work of automotive engineering, but its shape fails to elicit universal enthusiasm.

Love my Bimmer - But I'm a hands-on owner
5 out of 5 starsKen Allewelt, 10/06/2016
2004 BMW 6 Series 645Ci 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl 6M)
Unless you have deep (very deep) pockets, or are comfortable doing routine maintenance on a high-tech vehicle, the 645ci probably isn't your best choice unless you're able to purchase an extended warranty. I drove a 1984 633csi for about 20 years -- thoroughly loved the car. When work required more travel, I upgraded to the 2004 645ci. I was able to pick one up a 2-owner with 85,000 … miles for right around $13K. Financed through the credit union and added a $3,200 3-yr/36K bumper to bumper warranty; total price $16.5K or so. (warranty paid for itself the first trip to the shop when the transmission started leaking -- $5,300 expense; I had to pay a $100 deductible). The Bimmer is a FANTASTIC touring car on the road and fun to drive around town... Has plenty of power and a beautiful and unmistakable design.
Too much fun in the sun

2004 BMW 6 Series 645Ci 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl 6M)
This car is not the best in any category, there are better looking, faster, cheaper, whatever the category. But as a package, this car is the one to take out on a winding road on a Saturday afternoon. Or you can just drop the top and actually enjoy your drive to work, as I do. It has all the power you need to be pushing well to the right side of 100 by the end of the average on ramp. … It sticks to corners like glue. And yet is behaved enough to not look like you are finally living out your high school fantasy - even if that is exactly really what you're doing.
Fun But ...
4.13 out of 5 starsDavid, 06/05/2006
2004 BMW 6 Series 645Ci 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl 6M)
This is a magnificent car, providing more niche-fillers than any other car on the market: a true sports car, with excellent speed and handling, top luxury, eye-catching look, available with a stick, and a back seat and trunk that are actually useful. However, the alloy wheels are so soft I'm on my my third set, and despite their advertising, BMW will do anything to avoid having the … warranty cover anything more than the usual minor issues. The software on the care is unreliable too and the car is a gas hog. Even so, I love it, but it's hard to accept being treated poorly by BMW given the nature of their advertising and the cost of this car.
Will drive this car for 10 years.

2004 BMW 6 Series 645Ci 2dr Convertible (4.4L 8cyl 6M)
What I think is best about this car is
how well it operates in the two roles
of luxury cruiser and sports car
convertible. Overall it is
exceptionally self assured and holds
the road with tenancity. The low
grumble from the v-8 sounds great. As
a luxury car it compares to anything
out there. But put the top down,
select the sport setting on the
transmission and you … have a car that
will give you all the excitment you
want and remind you of what fun
driving is. Additionally the
aerodynamics are phenominal. At any
speed up to 80 mph, with the top down
and windows up the car is quiet and
there is virtually no wind buffeting
in the front seats.
