This 2014 BMW 6 Series 650i xDrive is BMW's take on a true grand tourer from the brand's pre-polarizing design era - low, wide, and elegant, with the long-hood proportions that make the F12/F13/F06 generation stand out. It has real presence without looking like it's trying to prove anything.
Power comes from the 4.4-liter twin-turbo N63TU V8, rated at 445 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque - exactly the kind of effortless shove you want in a flagship GT. The torque arrives early and stays strong, making passing and highway merging feel easy rather than dramatic. It's paired with BMW's smooth 8-speed automatic, a drivetrain combo owners routinely praise for how refined it feels in normal driving while still delivering serious punch when you lean into it.
What separates the 650i xDrive from many luxury GTs of the time is the all-wheel-drive system. Most competitors in this class leaned rear-drive, but xDrive gives you added traction and confidence in mixed weather without taking away the V8 character that defines the car. The result is a 0-60 run in the mid-4-second range with the planted, stable feel you'd expect from an AWD performance coupe or Gran Coupe.
Inside, the 6 Series leans hard into what grand touring is supposed to be: comfort, leather, and tech in a cabin that was designed to feel expensive - because it was. It's built for covering miles at speed, quietly and confidently, with a chassis tuned more for high-speed composure than harsh, busy ride quality.
If you're looking for a modern BMW that blends flagship luxury with real V8 performance - and you want it wrapped in one of the brand's most widely admired contemporary designs - the 2014 650i xDrive checks those boxes in a way that still feels special today.
