Too expensive, not enough power, and looks terrible. I will pass!

It looks ok, but doesn't stir any emotion in me when I look at it, which is fairly consistent with other BMW coupes for me as well, though I can appreciate what they are. This thing however has me confused, which doesn't help its cause. No manual, and it doesn't really look like a roaster either, but rather just another BMW sport coupe with a convert option. I'm assuming its north of 3000lb too, probably north of 3500.

Looks okay and has decent specs but the price is a little high for a car that (like every BMW owner at my work), they love and talk about constantly but always have a loaner and the car is always in the dealer getting serviced for one sensor or another.

I wouldn't kick it out of my driveway but for $65K, I'm picking a Boxster S every time. Or a Corvette Grand Sport. Or a Camaro ZL1 'vert for just a few grand more (transaction price will probably be about the same, since GM has pretty nice discounts).
Too big, too heavy, too expensive for what it offers. If I'm going that big and heavy, I might as well get a car with some real firepower under the hood AND get the option of a manual transmission if I so desire.

You can get a new C7 Grand Sport for $65K all day long. Used is even cheaper, of course.
A Camaro ZL1 convertible is a heck of a car. 650 hp, looks good, stupidly quick, eliminates the big rear blind spot when you have the top down, etc. It's a lot of machine and it's semi-usable, too, with rear seats.

I have only bought one BMW but driven several recent ones and have learned several things ....
They are more reliable than people give them credit for.
They are no longer the sportiest of cars that they pretend to be.
They are over priced and under-contented.
They ae best bought as certified lease returns if you like them.
Only the 240i and M2 currently appeal to me as new cars at the prices they ask.

Yes, same here. The Boxster S was the top of my list replacing my S2000 until I saw the prices... even used. Depends upon of content, but I actually found a beautiful low mileage unit but then was then informed the asking price was 78K.
