F12 (2011 to 2018)

The BMW 6 Series (F12, 2011–2018)—specifically the two-door convertible—represents a high-water mark for BMW's luxury grand tourers, combining elegant styling with advanced turbocharged powerplants. In the 2026 Australian market, the F12 (alongside its F13 Coupe and F06 Gran Coupe siblings) attracts a buyer pool of professionals and enthusiasts who seek a more modern, tech-laden experience than the older E63, but with a more traditional grand tourer silhouette than current offerings. Desirability is particularly strong for the 2015–2018 LCI (facelift) models, which feature refined LED lighting and the updated iDrive system. While the 640i (N55 straight-six) is prized for its balance and reliability, the 650i (V8) and the flagship M6 (S63 V8) command the most attention for their sheer performance. Market values in Australia remain relatively firm for well-maintained examples: a tidy 640i Convertible typically trades between $40,000 and $55,000 AUD, while a high-spec 650i can fetch between $60,000 and $85,000 AUD. The M6 remains the blue-chip choice, with late-model, low-kilometre examples often commanding between $90,000 and $130,000 AUD. Prospective Australian buyers must be selective, as vehicles with a documented history of addressing N63/S63 V8 oil consumption and convertible roof sensor maintenance are the only ones that maintain a significant resale premium.
