2017 BMW 650

Last year brought a modest freshening. Wireless charging and a wi-fi hotspot are now standard, along with the latest iDrive control (5.0). Smartphone integration is no longer offered, as its functions are part of the new wireless charging. The M Sport Edition remains available as an option package.

Every 650 is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pumps out 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque, working with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional for both coupe and convertible models. Automatic start-stop technology is standard.

Coupe pricing starts at $89,000. The convertible, priced $7,500 higher, carries a traditional soft top. Compared to retractable hardtops, that helps preserve rear-seat and trunk space. Both body styles feature a Nappa leather interior with multi-contour 20-way power front seats with adjustable thigh and side support, wood trim, and memory settings for the driver and front passenger. The leather used in convertibles is sun-reflective.

Other standard fare includes adaptive cruise control, a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system. Alloy wheels hold 19-inch tires.

The available Executive package tops off the 650 with automatic soft-closing doors, ventilated front seats, ceramic-finish controls, head-up display, and power rear sunshade. For an even sportier feel, you can add the M Sport Package, which provides more aggressive styling inside and out, plus specific 19- or 20-inch wheels.

The Driver Assistance package equips the 650 with enhanced safety technology such as forward collision warning, city collision mitigation, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, surround-view cameras, and speed-limit information. The Cold Weather Package adds a heated steering wheel and a ski bag. A Black Accent package comes with a choice of wood or Piano Black trim.

For drivers who wish to go all the way, the M Sport Edition combines contents from the Executive and M Sport packages, for a $4,800 total price.

As for individual options, you can order some pretty sophisticated upgrades like Adaptive Drive (active roll stabilization), four-wheel steering (rear-drive only), infrared Night Vision with pedestrian detection, and a self-parking system (rear-drive only). Audiophiles might be tempted by the 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen surround-sound system, a $3,700 extra.
