But, I agree we can make either work. And we just have to go see which one is more fun to drive. Certainly the 2 series is the better value. From the exterior, it strikes me as roughly the size of my old E46.

Drop top, four seater, w/ AWD?

I'm sorry, I can't NOT say it: Wrangler!

As FC points out, rear leg room is an issue of hip-to-foot ratio for the driver / front passenger. I'm about 1" taller than my wife but she has really long legs (

) (or I have really short ones). When I driver her car I have to move her seat forward 2-3". And she has trouble getting back in after me if I don't move the seat back. Proportions.

Thanks, Lupe. No Wrangler in my future, although if I were Jay Leno, I'd probably have at least one

We'll likely end up with a 440i M Sport. A droptop segue from what I already drive. TBD.

There's also the Evoque convertible...

Crazy thing. (0-60 in 8.6 seconds LOL.)

BTW, just saw one of those Murano convertibles the other day.

That 0-60 is just sad...

I occasionally see a Murano convertible. They are just weird. NIssan didn't sell very many...

I kind of like the looks of the Evoque, but that's just bizarre.

to truly hate the evoque, you need to drive one

Nissan tried a crossover convertible with the Murano, it was a sales disaster, I'm surprised they'd go this route.

This does look better than the Nissan, so, who knows.
