I have a 2004 bmw z4, that’s been sitting in my garage, collecting dust for awhile now as i’m more comfortable driving my SUV. Passive-observer, i used to have that feeling.

mr marketman, consider the Subaru Forrester with the optional sunroof as an alternative. Practical, but if you desire the sun basking on your face while driving, open up the roof. Not as open as a convertible, but is a lot more rainproof.

I was once driving along EDSA just after Ayala and came beside a bmw top down being driven by a young guy. Ahh to be young and foolish!

MM, if you do buy a convertible then people would think you have midlife crisis.
Maybe it’s their version of the group of ferraris, porsches, maseratis and other exotic cars that drive around SLEX every Sunday morning and sometimes have brunch in Alabang?

…not to mention you’ll probably look like a blacked out minstrel singer after driving a few kms in exhaust laden ambience.

The positive outcome of German brands like BMW and VW acquiring staid British marques such as Rolls and Bentley is that gas guzzling soggy barges stopped being built. In case you change your mind, replicas of E-type Jaguars can be commissioned from a few hand builders such as Eagle for a fraction of what a vintage costs. David Brown offers a near replica of a DB-5, just like what 007 drove (and quite recently, Jerry Seinfeld drives).
