What is the replacement?

Moving all into BMW family. Requirements were seats for the kids (2 seater ruled out), convertible, small (as we have the tank already), sporty (helps), wife friendly.
And the winner 123d loaded with lots of toys, no delivery date yet, hoping end of May.

You know a little something about the engine? Actually started with the 120d and it was fine, was quick but deceptive the power was delivered so smoothly just left me thinking give me more anyway hence 123d, figured after warranty period easy to turn up the twin turbo's and get more if bored.
Only downside side is no lovely noise to listen to, easily solved with upgraded sound system

I really can't see the issue with diesels. Driven normally they are very economical, the increased torque ensures a big surge of power low down the rev range and the BMW straight six does have a decent sound track which can be enhanced by adding a tuned exhaust.

To avoid confusion, I got back from the loo, to find my ipad had been improvised

Sorry mate, no ovense taken here. I just thought I would pose the question as I think diesel has more to offer everyday drivers.

To be fair, most convertible drives keep their roofs up all year round, so no biggie

The top of the boot and bonnet continues generation plus the excess power of the convertible ones is transferred to them to run even higher, wow BMW such innovation.
Sounds like some people had fun last night, went over my head though.
