Four seater convertibles

The search begins to replace the wagon with a drop top.

In the running:

BMW M240 and Msport 440. (Should I consider AWD? We do get a little nastiness in ATL, and I am very over the winter tire switch. Could run All-Seasons all year long on the AWD and likely be fine.) Seems the 2 would be more fun, but the 4 more roomy and the 4 has dynamic damper option.

Audi S5. I'm a little concerned about Audi as a company these days. And the S5 is a somewhat soulless, but a good all around option--with Quattro, a real spare tire, good interior room, real LSD, and a cloth top.

Can't wrap my head around the Mercedes.

Still might consider a lightly used M3 or M4. Do the M3s have any issues with the 8 cylinder engine?

Anything I'm missing?
