How are you finding your Convertible?

How's everyone finding their convertible? I cant decide between Coupe or Convertible.

I love convertibles and would love one again, my concerns are;

rear seats (smaller/less comfortable)
road noise
squeaking elements of the folding roof
handling
Winter driving.

I have a summer car which I use currently when the weather is good, I could get rid of it if the M4 can work both ways. The other option is to tick the coupe and go with sun roof but I really want the carbon roof

I've always liked the looks of convertibles but I think this time round BMW has made the coupe look better?

Absolutly awesome - Its so much better then the E92 vert that I previously owned. Looks are killer, much better then the coupe IMO, no squeaks really great quality. Of course I am highly biased but I could not recommend more

It sounds like I need a test drive, I am almost convinced

I Have the convertible and love it BUT have plenty of squeaks and rattles

Opening and closing roof while moving is cool though

My E92 rattled all the time.. So far this car has been rattle free. I really love the folding roof on these cars, you just feel like you are in a coupe with the roof up, very sold and good looking. (Which is a hard trick for any convertible roof)

Absolutely love mine. Have the odd squeak if cold and wet from the roof rubber but not an issue. So much better than the E92
