This car is for me. Selfish it may be but nothing like a top-down drive to soothe the soul after a tough day

Did you add those back seat top covers or it comes like that from factory?

Some TZ II for the thread

Only had her for about 10 weeks but I fall in love every time I get in, top up or down, whether driving fast or slow, the smile rarely leaves my face. Sometimes I scream out loud in joy, especially with the top down at 6500 RPM with the valves open

Thanks for writing the article. I felt the same way about my e93. It was heavier and slower than the sedan/coupe, but that glorious V8 and high redline were even better with the top down. And it was a hard top, so best of both worlds. It was $80k loaded 10 years ago.

After owning the 4 series convertible (granted, not the M4) and now the G80, the answer IMO on which is the best is "it depends." The G80 is incredibly practical for kids, cargo, etc. I like the stiffness and less weight. $13k less for my build with the same output and drivetrain is nothing to sneeze at. 400 pounds less. Even if I didn't have the kids, I'd go with the sedan. My $0.02.

I agree. But since the Vert only comes with xDrive, if you're headed in that direction anyway, the price and weight jump aren't terrible.

As a sedan guy, I'd probably always take the four door practicality.

Agree -- but if I won the lottery (LOL) I'd probably add a convertible to the stable! In my case, a G23 440i RWD that comes with summer tires and use it as a seasonal fair-weather fun car.

I've had it since August. 4000 miles already. Close to hibernation time though. My dealer got an unexpected allocation in June so I traded in my 2022 Z4 M40i and ordered the G83. Two GREAT improvements over the Z4. Next to nothing for back draft with the top down and the same for side wind turbulence with the windows down. Talking 60 MPH on anything but freeways, which is 90% of our road mileage.
