I bought my wife one, because it was her "dream car." Well, several thousands of dollars later, it's the least favorite of the BMWs (I've got five right now because I'm writing a book on the 3-Series). She's pregnant, so the 2-door wouldn't work for her anyways. Her chief complaint about the convertible was that it was too cold with the top down (she gets cold easily). I didn't think that she would like it, but I wanted one too. Well, I quickly realized that unless I had tons of suntan lotion on, it wasn't a good idea to keep the top down. I always thought I was a convertible guy, but once I bought one, I realized, not too much. I like the cars with the removable hard tops (targa tops) better...

She also didn't like the fact that the car was noisy on the highway, when compared to the 3-Series coupe that I have. She liked it quiet, and I have to agree on that one. I just bought here a 1998 5-Series E39 sedan, which she loves (I like it too). It's peppy, and it feels like I'm driving in my living room. The seats in that car are way more comfortable than any couch or barco-lounger I have in my house!

Hope this helps,

Wayne

P.S. The convertible did leak...
