Roof doesn't come down but consider a BMW i3, preferably with sports suspension option. Yes, it's kind of odd looking but I got one as a loaner from the dealer once and I was sold on it 5 minutes in. An EV that's actually fun to throw around because it's incredibly light (just under 2800lbs) compared to all these 4700+lbs tanks. Carbon fiber body means the center of gravity is much lower than you'd expect for a taller car.

Just bought one so I might be biased. I'd never get one as my only car but for commutes and general stuff I think I'll be able to get good use out of it.

Don't listen to the haters I'm sure it drives like a hot hatch - though now if you look anything less than Larry David's twin I'll be disappointed. That's an LD car 100%

When you have watched every season of Curb and realize that really is the vehicle he has been driving:

Haven't actually watched that show but I have S tier hair genetics, not balding in the least. I did seriously consider some beige pants recently though.

Seriously though, I get the hate. I'd never call the i3 beautiful either but it's fun to drive and electric. I already own some of the best looking cars BMW ever built, I can afford to have one that's a bit of an ugly duckling. Don't need one car to do it all.

LMK when you have an E39 M5, E46 M3, or 3.0 CSL and then I’ll agree you have good looking Beemers.

E46 vert, E39 sedan, E38. Not M versions though, not worth the extra headache.

At least we are in agreement that BMW no longer makes a single attractive vehicle. One of my absolute favorite brands to one of my least now.

I will say, I like the lines on the G87 M2, only Bimmer of recent that I like.

E46 for me (and likely others) because it came out during my formative years and I always wanted one.

Yea I've been running around BMW showrooms for a month or two now and there's nothing in there that's actually beautiful and a lot that's downright ostentatious. Also don't like that on most lines you can no longer get the 6 cylinder without all the boy racer dress-up kit. I'm pushing 50, I don't want to look like I'm applying for Fast & Furious 17. There's a few that are borderline acceptable but nothing like the elegant cars of old.

G87 2 series is probably one of my recent favorites as well although it's kind of too-tall-for-its-width looking from behind and has since been replaced by an uglier version.

I'm struggling to think if there is any other manufacturer that makes an actually beautiful car nowadays though, it's all endless CUVs with random creases and lines everywhere.

I'm actually thinking about selling my BMW motorcycle. I've had it for years. It's a comfortable drive, and a very reliable bike, but it's so heavy. If I'm going for a trip or a really long ride it's amazing. But around town it can be cumbersome. I want another bike that sits upright like this bike does, but is more suited to city driving. Maybe I'll keep this for trips and get something like a Buell for around town.

Why does BMW have to make everything so heavy.

I'm kind of sad BMW went with the angular look recently, Mercedes and Porsche are the only holdouts left making beautiful cars with flowing lines.
