New Looks

The redesigned 650i is striking. The hood seems even longer now, with extremely small kidney grilles up front. New taillights — similar to those on the recently redesigned 5 Series — change the rear design significantly. The retractable canvas top connects to the car with long rear cowls that are even more pronounced than last year's.

It's a stunning look, top up or down, with an elegant cabin to match. It also borrows from the new 5 and 7 Series with an updated iDrive multimedia system, a digital gauge cluster and comfortable leather seats that add to the upscale feel of this $90,500 convertible.
