Agreed. BMW is allegedly done with having a roadster in their line-up. The current model has not sold that well even though sales are currently up.

But when I do bring it out it attracts all kinds of attention most likely because of the deep purple Thundernight metallic skin. Even got a free meal at the McDonald's drive thru. A guy in front of me in line liked it so much that he gifted me so that when I got to the pay window I was told someone had paid the bill. I am thinking now I should just hang out at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse until the same outcome is achieved. That will be the true test I reckon. As for the G87, kind of still in limbo. Ultimately depends upon whether they open it up to the Individual program or not. Because while they did confirm new colors are on the pallet for MY 25 (Skyscraper Grey Metallic, Portimao Blue Metallic, Sao Paulo Yellow, Fire Red Metallic), none of those strike my fancy. Thoughts of Le Mans blue still waft through my cranium, so I am stuck on that as my preferred, go to color at the moment. If LMB is not a part of the Individual offering, then I might go to Thundernight again. It all comes down to whether or not the Individual option comes to fruition, although strong indications (paint code '490' which is 'Special Order Color' indicating individual colors) has been rumored for MY25. But I am looking at it from a long-term perspective both in not having to make a choice until 2026 or 2027; cognizant this will be likely the last new vehicle I buy as I am a passionate and devout hater of all thing's hybrid or EV.
