THE BACKGROUND
The E63 and E64 BMW 6-Series models are real up-and-coming modern classics, with a strong following among those who recognise the 2000s-era 5-Series-based two-door’s appeal as a sumptuously equipped high-speed GT or convertible.
Introduced at the 2003 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show, the 6-Series was developed off the platform of the E60 5-Series, but with a shorter chassis and wheelbase and a wider track for better handling and agility. It was lighter, too, so notably quicker – indeed, in the eyes of many enthusiasts it’s the best non M-badged BMW of the early-to-mid 2000s.
This one is hugely desirable – a 650i Sport Convertible, it’s a highly specced example with built-in head-up display and gorgeous Dakota Beige leather, finished in Olive Metallic – a rare and unusual choice of hue.
