Not all of us can get a $60k+ convertible as a third vehicle so having some useable trunk space for at least more than one backpack is pretty nice. I'm also glad that it looks like despite using the same platform the 4er will be very different looking in the front and back, looks very inspired by the new Z4 and 8er.

Plus who knows, maybe BMW will do what they did with the e36/46 and sell a removable separate hardtop for the winter.

I totally LOVED my e93 M3. The folding hard-top was awesome. My partner and I were able to get a lot of stuff in that trunk too -- you just have to know how to load it properly. Taller stuff closer to the seatback, and shorter stuff goes under the drop-down top-holder tray. We also had a customized duffel for the back seat that fit the dimensions of the fold-down seat perfectly (from sidewall to sidewall) and were able to store enough clothes / goods for a two-week road trip (all while retaining the ability to raise and lower the top).

Here's a clip of mine in action...
