Another bargain Bangle BMW earns its Shed stripes - could this be your hot 6 Series summer?
Unsurprisingly this week we have a debut appearance for. It’s not surprising that it’s taken this long because when the E64 630i Convertible first appeared in 2004 it would have cost its first owner at least £50k, and even more than that three years later when the example you’re eyeing suspiciously here came off the line. Now it can be yours for a quid under two grand. How the mighty are fallen.
Now let’s go back to the launch in 2004, long before the wrong name was put onto the registration document. Back then BMW proudly announced that the 3.0 petrol six powering the 630i was the world’s lightest six-cylinder engine. Unfortunately, the rest of the E64 630i Convertible wasn’t so light. In auto form as here it weighed 1,825kg, which made it 220kg heavier than the E63 coupe and 0.4sec slower over the 0-62mph. Still, 6.9sec is fast enough for most.
And maybe with a hat on. The E64’s roof was described by BMW as having a ‘unique fin structure’. Some owners liked to put a sarcastic apostrophe between the ‘f’ and the ‘in’ when the mech broke down, a red light started flashing and the rear window refused to go up, usually because one of the rear soft top supports hadn’t fully straightened during the erection process , as often as not when it was raining nicely.
