Even sedans sell less than SUVs but a GC falls into a category of sustainable profit margins if they price it right. 👍

Convertibles are just so damn fun!
I used to hate convertibles because I thought they were too small (S2000, Miata) or they just looked ugly. But then I got hooked when I first got a 2020 Z4 M40i. I really should have stopped there, but bad decisions lead me to where I am now with an M850i convertible.
For me, it is immensely relaxing to drive on a quiet service road in the evening, night or early morning with the top down and cooler air surrounding me. And with my anxiety, I need the escape.
I honestly cannot imagine the 8 series dash with the ID8 widescreen, no crystal shifter (as it is now) and barely any buttons. I keep thinking the uglier the new models get, the more in demand the older ones will be.
