For those who were hoping for a next-ger 2er ragtop
Looks like we'll have to settle for the upcoming next-gen 4-series (G23) ragtop available early spring 2021.

They're here every other weekend and already a tight fit, so regardless of whether or not there were to be a next-gen 2er cabrio, I'd have to opt for a 4er, or C43 or S5 ragtop.

My heart says I'll want to replace my beloved M235i with a 718 Boxster S or the Z4 M40i when the time comes. That said, I am certain a similarly equipped Boxster will be an easy $5-10K more than the Z4, and the Z4 will still be pretty pricey. Even more importantly, one of the reasons the Boxster is such a great car is because it's just inches off the ground. My wife and I are only in our mid 50's, but I know I'd hear her tell me how hard it was to get in and out of the Boxster every time we drove it. It's one of a few reasons I chose the M235i over the Boxster this time. I am hoping the Z4 won't be quite as hard to get in and out of. If it is, I think I'd be fine with the new M440i or even possibly an M4 Cabriolet. While it's tough to discern much from the spy photos, everything I have seen or read about the new 4 Series vert is very promising. I really like the look of the soft top. it's very smooth and well shaped and much better looking than the soft tops on our 2 Series verts in my opinion. I also really like the look of the soft top on the Z4.

Take delivery towards the end of this week after they tint the windows 50%. My son is getting my 2016 M235xi ragtop. That'll hold me 'til the nextgen 4er cabrio is available in the Spring of 2021.

I'm confused. Maybe I missed something?
A couple of weeks ago you posted in a different thread that "the official EOP date for the current gen 2er coupe (F22) and ragtop (F23) is Oct 2021 - that's 2.5 years beyond the EOP of 02/19 for the 2019 MY 2er." I take that to mean that the 2 series vert is going to be available for at least the next 3 years. |

2 series ragtop discontinued
I'm confused. The link in the OP describes the new 4 series ragtop and doesn't say anything about the 2 series being discontinued. Am I missing something here?

Yes, I did post that the the official EOP for the current gen 2er coupe and ragtop is Oct 2021 (and that is correct). Yes, I did post that the EOP for the 2019 MY 2er production ends in Feb, 2019 (and that is correct). But there will be a 2020 and 2021 MY current-gen 2ers (coupe and Cabrio). Yes, there will not be a next-gen 2er cabriolet - based on numerous insider reports. https://www.carscoops.com/2018/06/ne...dly-cancelled/

Sadly, it appears that the 2er cabriolet is being discontinued at the end of this gen production run. https://www.bmwblog.com/2018/06/14/f...ible-canceled/ https://www.carscoops.com/2018/06/ne...dly-cancelled/

thanks for the quick reply. It's good news that there will be a 2020 and 2021 2 series ragtop as the summer of 2020 was when I was planning on getting my next one.
