The seller offers for sale this 2005 BMW 645Ci Cabriolet, powered by a 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The car was originally delivered new in Germany and was exported in 2008 to a new owner in Spain, where it carries Spanish registration papers and was used for daily journeys in the south of the country until 2021. The odometer shows 221,000 km, and the paintwork is described by the seller as largely original, with some touch-ups applied over the years and minor cosmetic marks on the rear right wing and rear bumper. The soft top itself is said to look tidy, although the seller notes that the roof switch does not currently operate, despite its indicator light illuminating. The interior remains largely original and presents well overall, with wear noted on the driver’s seat. The car has been kept in a shed since 2021, and the seller advises a thorough service before the car is put back into regular use.
Introduced in 2003, the 6 Series marked BMW’s return to the grand-touring coupe and convertible market after a fifteen-year gap in the range, slotting in size and positioning between the 5 Series and 7 Series. The E64 Cabriolet arrived alongside the E63 Coupé, sharing the same long-bonnet, short-overhang silhouette and aluminium-intensive construction, with a power-folding soft top that retracts behind the rear seats to keep the roadster profile clean with the top down. The 645Ci name denoted the range-topping V8 model, later replaced by the facelifted 650i from 2007.
Under the bonnet, the naturally aspirated 4.4-litre V8 drives the rear wheels through a smooth-shifting automatic gearbox, giving the big cabriolet effortless long-distance pace alongside the V8 soundtrack that has always been part of the model’s appeal. The chassis features double-wishbone front suspension and, on many examples, BMW’s Active Steering system, both aimed at keeping a car of this size and weight feeling planted and controllable on winding roads. Inside, the cabin combines a driver-focused layout with the leather trim, climate control and long list of comfort equipment expected of a flagship BMW convertible of this era.
With its distinctive styling, V8 power and open-top grand-touring character, the 645Ci Cabriolet remains a striking and comparatively rare sight on the road. This example, with its documented German-to-Spanish history, is offered here for a buyer prepared to recommission it after some time in storage.
