M850i Convertible Retired

A Grand Touring Convertible Built for New York Pace

The BMW M850i Convertible is the kind of luxury drop-top that feels made for the New York tri-state rhythm: quick transitions, long stretches of parkway, and nights that start in Manhattan and end somewhere along the North Shore. It’s BMW’s modern grand tourer—sleek, confident, and engineered to deliver both comfort and real performance when the road opens up. Under the hood sits a Twin Turbo V8 producing 523 HP, giving you the power to surge onto the Long Island Expressway (LIE) with ease while still cruising smoothly when traffic compresses near the Midtown Tunnel or the Throgs Neck approach.

Unlike a hard-edged track weapon, the M850i Convertible is about refined speed—an elegant, 2-Door statement with the kind of presence that fits just as naturally in a valet line in Tribeca as it does parked outside a waterfront dinner in Port Washington. With an MSRP of $112,000, it sits in that rare sweet spot where prestige meets everyday usability—sporty enough to feel special, polished enough to feel appropriate for a high-end event in Westchester or a night out on Long Island’s Gold Coast.

Because this page sits below the gallery and performance grid, think of this section as the ‘why it matters’ behind the photos: the M850i isn’t just a convertible, it’s a traveling experience. The cabin is designed for long drives out toward Montauk or a sunset loop along Ocean Parkway, and the Twin Turbo V8 powertrain delivers effortless passing ability on the Northern State or Southern State when you’re threading between exits and scenic detours. This is the kind of BMW rental that makes New York feel bigger—because the drive itself becomes the event.

Why Rent the BMW M850i Convertible in New York

New York isn’t one single driving vibe—it’s a collage of borough energy, Long Island shoreline, and parkway scenery that changes by the mile. That’s exactly why the BMW M850i Convertible works so well here. It’s an exotic-adjacent luxury convertible with enough power to feel thrilling on open stretches, but refined enough to stay comfortable when you’re navigating Queens Boulevard lights, the FDR’s tight rhythm, or the stop-and-go pattern around the Cross Bronx.

Tri-State routes that suit a grand touring convertible

• Long Island Gold Coast loop: From Deer Park, head toward the North Shore and string together Old Westbury, Roslyn, and waterfront stops near Manhasset—perfect for a top-down afternoon that ends with a dinner reservation.
• Parkway cruise: The Northern State and Southern State deliver that classic New York parkway feel—tree-lined, fast-moving, and ideal for a luxury convertible that can glide and sprint when space appears.
• City-to-coast day plan: Start with a photo moment near DUMBO’s skyline views, cross back out toward Nassau, then finish with sunset along the South Shore—Jones Beach area energy without needing a supercar-level ride height.

For travelers and locals alike, renting this BMW is also a smart way to do ‘luxury New York’ without overcommitting to a hardcore supercar. It’s a confident arrival for SoHo and Hudson Yards, a comfortable choice for Westchester dinners, and a polished companion for Connecticut coastal drives. Best of all, BluStreet makes it simple: Browse Fleet, pick your dates, and Book Now directly on the site—then swing by our Deer Park location for a smooth, white-glove pickup experience.

What It Feels Like Behind the Wheel

You pull away from Deer Park and the M850i Convertible immediately feels composed—like it’s settling into your hands rather than asking you to wrestle it. Then you press a little deeper and the character changes: the Twin Turbo V8 wakes up with a confident, bass-rich note, and the car surges forward in a way that feels effortless, not frantic. With 523 HP on tap, merging onto the LIE isn’t a ‘hope there’s a gap’ situation—it’s a smooth, decisive move that makes New York highway driving feel easier.

Top down, the sound is the experience. The exhaust has that refined V8 growl that carries just enough drama to turn heads near the Meatpacking District, but it never feels obnoxious in tighter neighborhoods. Steering is precise and reassuring—perfect for flowing curves on the Northern State or those quick lane decisions that happen around the Queens-Midtown approach. When the road opens up, the acceleration builds fast and clean, delivering that satisfying, stomach-lightening pull you expect from a flagship performance convertible.

What stands out most is the balance: you get the thrill of a powerful BMW while still feeling like you could comfortably do a full day—Manhattan to the North Fork, a stop in Huntington, then back through Nassau—without arriving tired. The M850i Convertible is a true ‘New York grand tour’ machine: confident, quick, and made for memorable drives where the destination is important, but the drive is the story.
