Also a coupe version exists,
I think both, especially the convertible, are quite lavish & glittering. It's also not that expensive considering it's a 2016 BMW model. In Egypt we don't have any other convertible cars available in the brands' stock. The only remarkable downside to both of these two masterpieces, quite surprisingly, are their engines. I currently don't remember their exact engine specification, but I believe they both shared the same engine which is 1600CC/136 HP being powered by one Turbo. Considering their price range and their brand manufacturer, this is definitely a surprising element. However, as for looks it's a win win situation.
Yay, another BMW enthousiast! (I assume)
Beautiful vehicles, albeit a bit underpowered as you mentioned. I'd personally be more inclined towards 6 cylinder 2.2 NA engines like the ones used in 320s of the early 0's, ofc modernized to todays standards.
More on topic: I drive a 2003 midnight wine red BMW 325 Touring. Did numerous mods on the drivetrain, engine, intake/exhaust, ECU, brake systems. It churns out about 295hp at around 5.5k rpm.
Car was originally painted silver-gray metallic, but I had it resprayed.
