BMW’s big GT machine continues after some minor changes for 2009. Still offers a 360-hp 4.8-litre V8 with either a six-speed manual or automatic, and is exclusively rear-wheel drive. A technological marvel, the 650i can be equipped with night vision, adjustable suspension and upgraded audio systems. BMW Individual package allows buyers to completely customize the car with special paint, wheel designs and interior materials, for a price, of course.

Pros

Stable, solid, rapid

Cons

Not very subtle, 5 Series just as quick
