Bought this car as a replacement for a big V8 - mainly because of fuel costs but also because it's a spunky little convertible.
While it is the small engine we were able to get the M upgrade at no extra cost - so better suspension, leather interior etc, etc.
As far as a BMW goes it's classed as old technology (no lane departure warning etc) it's still a fine fun little machine.
Driving a winding road the handling is superb - especially in 'sport mode' - it's like its on rails. and taking the top down and driving is a whole new experience - love it!!
