Yes I’m comparing it because how many BMW race cars (since you brought up the whole heritage) do you see as a convertible? Just about none? Oh ok. They’re adapting to a changing market which demands efficiency and diesel is just about the best option for efficiency. It’s not like their flagship M cars are diesel (M3 & M5). I’m sure the BMW M purists were up in arms when they offered the M3s as a convertible and in automatic/SMG, but guess what, it sold cars and that’s the object of the game.

Oh man, you brought up my weight??? What is the world to do!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!!  
At least I can actually drive the car towards part of it’s potential.

As for the second bold part… Because I’m on my second BMW means anything? I’m sorry that I am “new” to the BMW ownership world, but I can still call ignorance when I see it.

Also, don’t you tell people the M3 is your girls car? Then why do you say you own it? And have it in your sig? One sec, lemme go add my gf’s car to my sig, and why bother stopping there, add everything my family has for cars in there.
