Thanks, Lucky. I appreciate the insights.

I am at a funny point here with my convertible needs. Until the Z3 (excepting a 325i Vert from 1998-2001), I have had a steady diet of Alfa and Fiat roadsters from the mid-80's until 2014, when I sold my '70 Fiat 124 and bought the Z3 later that year. I really like the Z3 but I bought it modified and it drives great but really is not a practical driver due to the suspension modifications. My time is very tight so perhaps I am just getting lazy, but the E93 was nice and the convenience of the hardtop combined with the 6M (which I really miss with my M235I xdrive) and one of the 5 great days we get in CT annually made it a real pleasure to cruise in. On the heavy side (you can feel the bulk on the twisty bits) but really easy to enjoy, more of a GT than a sporting machine. My son wants me to get a 911 Vert (probably so he can borrow it) but if I am going to get a 911, it will be a hardtop, I'd rather have a more practical vert than a 911.
