Miss the vert on sunny days and not sure how the 20" wheels and Dunlop tyre set up will work come the winter? May consider a winter wheel set up?
I asked because I had an AW 640d convertible for about 6 months. I love convertibles, especially soft tops, but like you, found the refinement, handling and driving characteristics of the GranCoupe was so much better (surprisingly so!). I may still get a convertible at some point, pity they don't make the 4-series in a soft top (that would make the overall packaging so much more appealing), so it will probably be an Audi A5 if it's a second car or may replace my GranTurismo with a GranCabrio (but worried that it will lose that sharp drive).
