650i Gran Coupe (2012-2018)

Can you afford a 2012-2018 BMW 6 Series 650i Gran Coupe in 2025?

The 2012-2018 BMW 650i Gran Coupe is a striking four-door luxury sedan with a fastback roofline, powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 445 horsepower. This flagship model blends sporty styling with executive-class comfort and advanced technology. Reviewers praise its muscular acceleration, refined interior, and head-turning design, though some criticize its hefty curb weight and firm ride quality. The Gran Coupe is famous for its distinctive "four-door coupe" silhouette and BMW's M Sport enhancements. Today, it suits affluent drivers seeking a stylish alternative to traditional luxury sedans, ideal for spirited driving and long-distance touring. Used examples offer substantial depreciation from their original six-figure prices, making flagship performance more accessible—though maintenance and repair costs remain premium-grade considerations.

The 2012-2018 BMW 650i Gran Coupe features a twin-turbo V8 requiring premium fuel and expensive synthetic oil changes. Common issues include turbocharger failures ($3,000-5,000 each), valve stem seal leaks, and electrical problems. Insurance costs are high due to luxury classification. Maintenance follows BMW's costly schedule with expensive dealer-only repairs and computerized diagnostics.
