  • I’ve always wanted to own a convertible - the warm summer days up here are fleeting - and driving around with the top down is just so cool and a total game changer in how you perceive the drive. And there’s no better way to do it than in a Z4 M40i.
    MSRP as-tested: $76,575

    How did I forget about the under $30k Miata!? I don’t know. But I goofed up so don’t listen to that part about the MINi being the least expensive. My bad.

    So freakin' expensive, damn. As an aside, when I was in college I bought a used Triumph Spitfire and it was a total blast to drive! Cost: $300

    Kudos to you Steve. You're the only car reviewer on TH-cam that correctly says "HEAD-UP DISPLAY" instead of " HEAD'S UP DISPLAY" like so many others.

      Yep that’s what I did and only $76K plus GM card bonus money of $1643. The HTC is the best.

    What about the Miata (in terms of least expensive convertibles)?

      You know, I actually forgot about the Miata. Shame on me. I give myself an F.

    @stevehammes: Umm, Steve, don't you think that having the previous generation i-Drive should be considered a positive, rather than a negative? More physical buttons, less screen reliant, easier to use while driving? Why would anybody who likes driving care that its' not the latest and greatest?

      Dude what's up with people wanting the ugly over bloated hideous slow bad handling 4 series becsuse "oh em gee it has two small useless back seats"? Even the 8 series convertible back seats are small. Plus they look ugly and too posery. The z4 looks clean and has true classic sports car looks and cabin space is HUGE for two people
