No more 2 series convertible after this model year...
https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/10/21/b...ll-remain-rwd/ "The sad part is that the new RWD 2er will not get a convertible anymore. That’s a move that has more to do with the business side of things rather than anything else. The sales of the drop top 2 Series weren’t doing too good and with so many models in the range these days, BMW decided to pull the plug on the project for the new generation." |

I think I've seen a grand total of one of these. Doesn't surprise me that it's going away.

I rarely ever see a 2 series let alone a convertible.

Like between October and March? Because from April to September it is pretty hot there, and brutally humid between June and August, no?

Atlanta isn’t as humid or hot as people think. There were humid days in the summer, but it would only last a couple days, then be less humid for a few days and cycle again. Summer temps rarely went over 100 - and low 90s were more common. I wouldn’t call that brutally hot...

I've been to Atlanta in the summer and found it to be unbearably humid but maybe it was just that week.
Low 90s is pretty unpleasant to me. Way too hot for a convertible. |
