I drove it home with the top down, perfect weather. I really liked it. It's amazing driving without blind spots. We're taking it to the White Mountains for a long weekend, we'll get plenty of time in it. The wife hates wind, so we'll need to keep the top up some of the time. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never found it to be a problem in the front seats. I've even ridden in the winter with the top down, but only in the front seat. The back seat is windy. Not sure if you even have a back seat, but as long as you are up front, the wind isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my Jeep days, I had a "bikini"top that just went from the windshield to the roll bar to keep the sun off and it did a good job of keeping the wind down. does your BMW have any kind of wind blocker behind the seats?

I've worked on two friends BMWs, so I have to agree. Yes, I was able to get the engine lights cleared and running right at least long enough for them to get rid of them. Good luck, great cars when everything works right. Which seems to be the case for all German cars, not that I would kick a Porsche out of garage.

2Far ★ Posted June 13, 2019 Share #14 Posted June 13, 2019 I had a 5 series as my company car in SA. I drove my coworker's 520 and the two bosses' 528s. A coworker's husband was a used car dealer, he brought by an M5 convertible. It was a rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted June 13, 2019 Share #16 Posted June 13, 2019 Mom liked to have a male come along when she bought a car. If you think car salesmen are bad now... So I was in my early 20s, and we went looking at cars. I test drove (whooops, should have said we) a BMW 2002, and I fell head over heels in love. She would have preferred something else, with the benefit of hindsight. She kept it a couple years, and sold it. But it wasn't a total loss. Her car attracted the attention of my future father in law, who was a wonderful guy and just what Mom needed. C'est le vie. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
