Just a quick comment to the convertible owners out there… It's a shame it's not offered with a manual transmission.
I sold my e92ZCP, because I couldn't fit my family in it and it was a little bit closed in. I felt selfish every time I drove it. (Solo) However I still have our Z3 which is a blast, (and our date car without the kids) as all our Bimmers are manual tranny cars. I'd love to get an M4 if I could get it with a manual because it would be hard to beat that sound with the top down while I'm controlling the throttle and the gearshift lever. (And then I could Sell the Z3) Just my thoughts for today

Right there with you.
I had a manual transmission E93 M3 and ordered a G84, but would have loved to have had it in a manual again. My E93 is now in Ontario with low miles. My dream would be to buy back....

I wouldn't give up xdrive for manual. Plus they make it so much more usable as a daily. And when I'm spending 100k On a car that depreciates like a faint bowling bowl, I want to be able to use it as much as possible

I stored my E93 for the winter and plan to do the same with new car. I am stationed in Germany and have no desire to run it in the winter.
Given my personal preferences, I would take a RWD manual convertible.

Agree with this. I drive a manual as a daily and I don’t even think about it, it’s second nature. That said, AWD was a must for me so I had no choice. Additionally, it’s handy when others in the family can drive the car if need be.
