Base model has 17 in rims? Really?

bavarian19 · 11-18-2010, 03:13 PM

not bad specs.

I agree with wheel sizes. A car this size, 18 is minimum, 19 base size.

That's not necessarily true for the US market. We'll know for certain when the 640i Convertible hits the US in Fall 2011.

I was thinking the same, though, doens't the N55 has slightly more bhp in, for example the 335is?

ciomas · 11-18-2010, 04:45 PM

one thing is for sure - 640 sounds way more distinguished than say...635

Nutballa · 11-18-2010, 05:15 PM

The will be an M6, right?

southlight · 11-18-2010, 05:21 PM

Yes, there will be an M6:

Suspension geometry for front especially sounds different than other line ups.

kmarei · 11-18-2010, 08:45 PM

640i is Only 77lb heavier than a 335i convertible
Not bad

Berduderunner · 11-18-2010, 10:43 PM

0-1000 in 25.2 seconds?

More than twice the top speed of a Veyron SS? Now THAT'S a tuned N55 right there...

ryanful · 11-18-2010, 10:52 PM

An NO manual transmission

and that's European Spec.

There's probably no hope for North America then

Hmm you're right; that's pretty impressive actually. The F13 weighs pretty much the same as a F10 (535i vs 640i and 550i vs 650i), where as the E93 weighs 400 lb (4000 lb) more than the E90 (3600 lb). That's probably because of the soft-top and a few other weight saving tricks BMW implemented.

Especially impressive considering the car is only 3 inches shorter than a Range Rover...

I'm sure that's the time for a standing kilometer... whoever create those spec charts didn't understand that units are important.

Hoad · 11-19-2010, 11:06 AM

19 inch wheels will be standard, 20 inch optional. 6 speed manual is the standard transmission. Exterior colors are Alpine White, Jet Black, Titanium Silver, Black Sapphire, Mojave Metallic, Space Gray, Deep Sea Blue, Vermillion Red, and Orion Silver. Interior colors are Vermillion Red Nappa, Ivory White, Cinnamon Brown, and Black.

Different standards, so you need to add 165 lbs (75kg).

It's the other way round. There will be a manual transmission for North America, but not for Europe. Here's the excerpt from the US press release:

Instantaneous power and torque are the stand-out features of the V-8 engine available of the new BMW 650i Convertible. The engine combines sporting character with outstanding smoothness, linear power delivery, and exceptional efficiency. The engine can be paired with either BMW’s new 8-speed Sport Automatic gearbox or BMW’s traditional 6-speed manual transmission, quite popular with North American enthusiasts.
