Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale WITHOUT RESERVE and SOLD to
the highest bidder June 2nd - 4th, 2017 at Russo and Steele\'s 5th
Annual Newport Beach California Auction. Please contact us for more
information. \r\n\r\nIntroduced at Frankfurt Auto Show and the
North American International Auto Show in Detroit in the autumn of
2003 and January 2004 respectively, the E63/E64 BMW 6-series models
were based on the BMW Z9 Concept, whose exterior was redesigned by
Adrian Van Hooydonk, and the interior was designed by David Carp.
As the long-awaited second-generation BMW models bearing the
revered 6-Series designation, the new BMW 60-Series was available
in E63 coupe and E64 cabriolet body styles and sold from2003 to
2010. Underpinnings were based upon a shortened E60 5-Series
chassis and shared a number of similar features including the BMW
iDrive system. Interestingly, the development process of the BMW
E63/E64 6-Series was documented for Television in a three-part
miniseries by the Discovery Channel Canada called Birth of a Sports
Car, with each of the three episodes covering the design, testing,
and production of the new BMW 6-Series cars in order. Early
6-Series models actually featured a \'C\' before the \'i\' in the
model designation, meaning that the early 6-Series cars were
referred to as the 630Ci and 645Ci. The \'C\' was also visible in
the model identification script along the right-hand side of the
trunk lid, but the \'C\' was subsequently dropped in keeping with
BMW\'s regular nomenclature. Along with a facelift from September
27, 2007, BMW added three trim levels to the 6-Series, including
SE, Sport, and the Edition Sport level introduced in 2008. In
typical BMW practice, the E63/E64 6-Series was methodically
refined, developed, and improved throughout its run, until the
F12/F13 6-Series arrived for 2011. \r\n\r\nThe 650i replaced the
645Ci in 2006, and production of the improved 650i commenced during
2005. Powering the 650i was a 4.8-litre V-8 engine producing 360
horsepower and 360 foot-pounds torque. The 650i was available in
both Coupe and Convertible form, and given a mild facelift in
September 2007. Top speed was an electronically-limited 155 mph.
Acceleration from rest to 60 mph was equally outstanding, achieved
in as little as 5.0 seconds. This 2009 BMW 650i Convertible is a
compelling modern BMW offering as a two-owner California vehicle.
Accompanied by a clean Carfax vehicle history report, it features
excellent Triple Black livery and marks a desirable find at No
