Review:
Tuner beats the M3 drop-top to market, and gives it a lot to live up to
Handling virtually matches that of Coupe
First Verdict
Excellent drop-top beats factory car to market (just) and is sure to attract sales as a result
So Good
Monster performance from twin-turbo straight six
Excellent six-speed auto gearbox, not a manual
No Good
Fuel economy sits at around 20mpg in the real world
Potential depreciation
Understeer at high speeds
