#CoupeConvertible

Now that winter weather has (finally) come to Michigan, it’s time to look forward to spring, when roadsters will emerge from their long hibernation to frolic along twisty two-lanes. Don’t have one, and feeling the urge?

If you know what you want in a roadster, the choice should just about make itself. So, what might lead someone to opt for the BMW?
