Used BMW 6 Series Convertible 2011-present reliability review

The BMW 6 Series Convertible is a luxurious grand tourer that's surprisingly affordable to run as a diesel. Just don’t expect sports car handling

What should I look for in a used BMW 6 Series?

The 6 Series is a long, wide and heavy car, so check its extremities for any signs of obvious bodywork damage that might have been picked up in tight car parks. Check the alloy wheels for kerb damage, too. It’s worth making sure that all electronically adjusting seats work well, and that the folding hood goes up and down without any glitches. There are lots of electrical gizmos on the 6 Series, so check all are working as they should.

Is a used BMW 6 Series reliable?

The 6 Series didn’t feature in our latest reliability survey, but BMW as a brand ranked 16th out of 31 car brands featured – a distinctly average performance.
