As a New Englander and someone that has owned a convertible since the 90s, I really love the year round viability that the hard top provides. It's perfect for cold winters and IMO is better at keeping the cabin quiet in heavy rain. I didn't buy an M car and have no delusions about my 440 being a race car so for me I will always prefer the hard top over the weight savings. As much as I dislike the direction BMW is taking with their grills I am far more upset about the loss of the hard top.
