Well, after waiting for a couple of months I finally got my 07 328i Convertible. I was fortunate to swap my non-sport wheels for a fresh set that came off of a 335i convertible (thx to my dealer). So far I love the car and can't wait to drive it everyday. The only area that this car needs improvement is in the automatic transmission. Below are my notes.
- Transmission in D mode makes the car very lethargic and not what I expected in a BMW. My 2001 330ci in D mode was much more responsive. However in DS mode, the car takes on a completely different personality and feels great. I hope BMW comes out with some software changes that makes the car in D mode more responsive.
- Transmission in DS mode sometimes jerks very noticeably when shifting from 2nd to 1st.
Other than these two items I think BMW nailed it with the new convertible.
