The E63/E64-generation BMW 6 Series marked the return of one of Munich’s most celebrated model designations. Combining imposing styling, substantial performance and genuine long-distance ability, the 6 Series was conceived as a luxurious grand tourer in the finest BMW tradition. In open-top 645Ci form, it also offered something increasingly uncommon today – a large-capacity, naturally aspirated V8 in an elegant four-seat convertible.
Registered in 2005, ‘XX05 EFC’ is a 645Ci Convertible showing a sensible 71,328 miles and benefiting from an MOT extending until May 2027.
At the heart of the car is BMW’s 4.4-litre naturally aspirated V8, producing approximately 333bhp when new. Smooth, muscular and wonderfully suited to the character of the 6 Series, it delivers the effortless performance expected of a flagship BMW grand tourer. Power is transmitted through an automatic transmission, making the 645Ci equally at home covering substantial distances or enjoying relaxed roof-down motoring.
Finished in silver, the car retains the distinctive proportions of the E64, with its long bonnet, low seating position and broad rear quarters. Black multi-spoke alloy wheels provide a purposeful contrast to the bodywork, while the photographs show parking sensors, front fog lamps and the electrically operated convertible roof.
The cabin continues the sporting grand-touring theme. Black leather upholstery is accompanied by BMW’s driver-focused dashboard, multifunction steering wheel, automatic climate control and central infotainment system. Despite its dramatic exterior proportions, the 6 Series also provides occasional rear seating, giving it considerably greater versatility than many two-seat convertibles.
The 645Ci is particularly interesting today because it represents a type of motor car that is rapidly disappearing. Its large-capacity, naturally aspirated V8 delivers its performance without turbocharging, while rear-wheel drive and traditional BMW grand-touring proportions give the car an unmistakably analogue character compared with many of its modern successors.
With 71,328 miles recorded and an MOT through to May 2027, ‘XX05 EFC’ offers considerable presence, performance and equipment. The photographs suggest there are areas where a new owner may wish to improve the car cosmetically, but this does little to detract from the underlying appeal of the package.
As early examples of the reborn 6 Series move firmly into modern-classic territory, the V8-powered 645Ci arguably represents one of the most characterful versions of the range.
