In 2018, the BMW 650i Gran Coupe closed the chapter of the 6 Series, later replaced by the 8 Series we know today. It shares the same platform as the F10 5 Series, meaning it inherits most of the chassis components of those models, but its engine is tuned to handle it for improved handling dynamics. Specifically, the 650i has a powerful drivetrain that delivers an almost performance-level experience, which was expected since it was the highest trim in the lineup. However, the coupe design limits rear headroom and trunk space, something you might never have to complain about since it prioritizes driver engagement over practicality.
The 2018 BMW 650i Gran Coupe has a glorious 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 445 hp and 480 lb-ft, enough power to propel it from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. That’s, of course, if the engine is healthy enough. This car is heavy, standing at around 4,420 pounds, but that doesn’t affect its dynamics. Besides, it has several driving modes that you can choose from to customize the experience based on road conditions, where you can only hit 155 mph max.
Inside, the 2018 BMW 650i is incredibly spacious owing to the extended wheelbase compared to its coupe variant. There’s enough seating space for five or four if the car was originally optioned with captain-style rear seats. These incorporate amenities similar to those of the fronts, such as multi-adjustable seats, heating, and, in some cases, a massaging function. All seats are, of course, dappered in leather in true BMW fashion, unlike lower-spec models with fabric seats. The leather is complemented by aluminum finishes, piano black accents, and wood-themed finishes, in some examples, resulting in a premium ambiance. The trunk space is excellent, spacious enough for anything you decide to throw in, be it a set of golf clubs or groceries.
The 2018 BMW 650i Gran Coupe discreetly hides its identity as a performance-oriented iteration of the 6 Series lineup. But when you pay closer attention, you can’t fail to notice how its sculpted lines are pronounced throughout its body, especially on the side profile. Plus, the front bumper has larger air intakes to add to the sporty vibe. Complementing the sharper lines on the side profile are 20-inch double-spoke wheels, which look the part. The back is wide and curvy, with twin exhaust tips on each side that sound phenomenal, especially when the car is in its most aggressive settings.
BMW technology was not as evolved as it is today when the 2018 BMW 650i Gran Coupe was produced. However, being a tech-forward automaker, BMW ensured that the tech offerings would remain relevant and useful even with age. Inside, you get a 10.25-inch infotainment display with navigation, real-time traffic display, a CD player, and an aux input. Plus, it provides access to most of the car’s functions. Disappointingly, it didn’t come with Android Auto, but Apple Car Play was a $300 subscription-based option. More features to expect include dual climate control and a heads-up display, which was also optional, to mention a few.
Today, a 2018 BMW 650i Gran Coupe will cost you roughly $30,000. When new, it had a starting MSRP of about $93,000, which is more than enough reason to buy one. Already on the search?
