640i xDrive Convertible (2013-2018)

Can you afford a 2013-2018 BMW 6 Series 640i xDrive Convertible in 2025?

The 2013-2018 BMW 640i xDrive convertible combines grand touring luxury with all-weather capability through its all-wheel-drive system. Powered by a 315-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, it delivers smooth performance and impressive refinement. Reviewers praise its comfortable ride, high-quality interior, and sophisticated technology, though some criticize its hefty curb weight and complexity. The retractable hardtop offers coupe-like quietness when raised. It's known for elegant styling and being more understated than the M6, yet still expensive to maintain as it ages. This 6 Series suits affluent drivers seeking a luxurious, all-season convertible for comfortable long-distance cruising rather than hardcore performance. It's ideal for empty-nesters or couples who prioritize refinement over practicality. Today's buyers should budget for potentially costly repairs on aging turbocharged engines and electronic systems.

The 2013-2018 BMW 640i xDrive Convertible carries premium ownership costs including expensive maintenance (brake jobs often exceed $2,000), high insurance rates, and above-average repair expenses. Common issues include turbocharger failures, coolant leaks, and complex convertible top mechanisms requiring costly repairs. Requires premium fuel. Extended warranties strongly recommended given reliability concerns.
