The BMW 650i was a variant of the E63 6 Series that debuted for the 2006 model year. The 650i replaced the BMW 645Ci, and was offered in Coupe (E63) and Convertible (E64) body styles. These cars were powered by BMW's N62B48 engine, which was a 4.8L V8 engine that produced 362hp. This power was sent to the rear wheels via a 6 speed manual, 6 speed automatic, or 6 speed SMG automatic transmission. Production of the E63 BMW 650i ended in 2010, but the model series would continue life in the next generation F12 BMW 6 Series.
