Product Overview

BMW 6 Series E64 Convertible is an executive convertible in production from 2003 to 2007, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.0 to 4.8 liters.
Compared to the E93 3 Series Convertible on sale at the same time, the E64 has access to the N62 V8 engine and is overall more luxurious. Obviously, it uses a soft convertible top, ostensibly because the large size of the cabin would necessitate an even heavier, more complex folding hard top otherwise.
While in general the engines are considered reasonably reliable, the N52 and N62 are not fault-free.
A curious point is that the E64 uses MacPherson front suspension, which is a bit stingy for such an expensive car.
