Overview

It’s been a long while since buying a convertible meant you had to be the kind of person who enjoys damp camping holidays in the Lake District. Gone are the days of having to do battle with a recalcitrant hood frame and leaky seams. Instead, you can enjoy the best of the impending summer weather safe in the knowledge that when the forecast goes a bit ‘bank holiday Monday’ on you, there’s always that easily-deployed button which will raise the roof in just a few seconds. 

So you can put away your spirit burner and mess tin, leave the waterproof trousers at home, and simply go for a drive without a care in the world. Truly this is the pinnacle of human civilisation. Forget space rockets and nuclear submarines: the ability to make full use of the British summer sun’s fleeting glances is an achievement worthy of any ancient wonder. 

If you’re looking for a sleek and stylish way to get about town — but also want to be able to enjoy the full force of a five-and-a-bit-second 0-62 mph time — then this 640 is a very good choice, with its twin-turbo, six-cylinder engine coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 6-Series convertible we see here is the perfect way to get around whether it’s sunny and bright or damp and miserable. It features the M Sport styling pack, a very well appointed interior, and tailpipe emissions so clean they’ll even let you drive around most of London for free.
