Acceleration is intense
Ride and Handling
Smooth and quiet. Can change the ride manually from Econ to Comfort to Sport to Sport +.
Styling
I get unsolicited complements while sitting at traffic lights.
Cost to Maintain
I feel obligated to have all service done at the local BMW dealership. Even oil changes.
Ride and Handling
Transmission has 8 gears. Takes some getting used to. Best for Comfort mode. If you want sportier driving, change to Sport mode for better results.
Styling
Hard top convertible is very well designed. Still have enough room in the trunk to fit luggage and golf clubs.
Dashboard
Not overly done. Cars are becoming very complicated but the controls are easy to learn and where you expect them to be.
Ride and Handling
Several ride settings and multiple features to drive aggressively or to save gas depending on your preference.
Styling
silver exterior with red leather interior.

Power
With launch control and AWD the car is quick off the line and never at a loss for power.
Ride and Handling
The car can corner faster than I would ever need to.
Cost to Maintain
Parts aren’t cheap, but with a warranty the suffering is over quickly.
Cargo Space
With a hard top convertible there isn’t much room in the trunk with the top down.

Ride and Handling
Handling is great, but the ride can be stiff even in comfort drive selected
Power
BMW underrated their engines. With a 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, you have well beyond 300hp on tap.
Ride and Handling
BMW is known for their 50-50 weight distribution that makes for excellent handling in the corners.
Cargo Space
The Gran Coupe has a lift back instead of a truck, which is much more versatile for cargo storage.
Cost to Maintain
German cars are more expensive to maintain, get a CarMax warranty.
Fuel Economy
You won't get the EPA quoted MPG because it's too addictive to floor it.
