RE: Porsche 911 beats out 'Vette and Viper
BMW 650i
Price as tested: $77,440
Powertrain: 360-horsepower 4.8-liter V-8, 6-speed automatic transmission
Photos and details
Rank: 5 out of 14
Highs: Powertrain, ride, fit and finish, front-seat comfort, quietness
Lows: Frustrating and complex iDrive control, cupholder design
Not recommended due to insufficient reliability data.
The 650i's "360-horsepower 4.8-liter V-8 delivers smooth, powerful performance and sounds great," Consumer Reports said.
"The iDrive system, which uses a large multidirectional knob on the console to enter commands into a glare-free center-mounted dashboard screen, is a disaster," the magazine said. Even simple functions for the radio and climate are too complex and distracting.
