What owners have to say

Based on 2 reviews

"Feedback is limited to a couple of near identical reviews, both very positive. The car is praised for its presence and for being a great thing to drive, with the only complaint being windows that stick in frosty weather and can leave you locked out. A satisfying sports car on the little evidence available."

Steve's Verdict

Relaxed, refined and enjoyable, though lacking the spark of earlier BMW roadsters. Great engines and cabin quality, but it always felt more cruiser than sports car.

Often chosen by design-conscious professionals and weekend adventurers seeking open-air thrills without sacrificing everyday usability or understated prestige. Values tactile engagement, minimalist luxury, and brand heritage; seeks confidence, balance, and a rewarding solo‑driving sanctuary. Urban weekday commuter, rural weekend explorer; appreciates compact parking, scenic B-roads, boutique hotels, and curated playlists over loud nightlife. Nuanced and enthusiastic; praises steering feel and refinement, forgives limited boot space, notes tech ageing, values reliability transparency.

Did you know?

Its folding metal roof was tuned for conversation—roof down, airflow management keeps voices clear at A‑road pace, turning long trips into shared, unruffled moments.

Seating position places your hips near the rear axle, sharpening rotation feel so roundabouts and B-roads become satisfyingly precise.

Many owners downsize wheel diameter for sweeter steering and a more supple ride, gaining real-world pace by trusting grip over glare.
