Cool New Bimmer Convertible






The four passenger 645Ci convertible offers BMW's 333 horsepower 4.4-litre V8 engine and three available transmissions: 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 6 speed SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox). BMW claims a 0 to 100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds.

The new 645Ci convertible features BMW's new Active Steering, Adaptive Headlamps, all-aluminium chassis and suspension, Head-Up Display, and a newly developed roof with a noise and heat-insulating layer. A vertical rear window between the fins on the roof is made of glass and is electrically heated and can be retracted completely into the luggage compartment. The power soft top is completely automatic.

Looks like a very promising car, just not in my climate.

I might be just be, but to me the rear rims look larger than front, or something to do with lower profile tires...i could be just me

Front would grow on me, middle is cool, rear is still

Something tells me that M/B and Audi got together and planted Bangle over at BMW to just run that company into the ground!! He has bastardized some of the most beautiful and classic cars on earth!!

When I first saw it, I thought of the Volvo C70.

Honestly, do BMW owners think that these new cars all look good? They are many many steps down from the last series of Bimmers in looks and if they actually like the styling, I think they may just be liking them for the pinwheel on the hood.
