  • FUN! A hard top convertible cannot be beat.

    Quick, classy and fun. Makes you feel good every time you start it. There are cars that do many things better, but as a package it cannot be beat.

  • First BMW

    I have driven BMWs in the past, so I knew what I wanted when seeking a replacement vehicle. The 435i convertible is a perfect fit for my driving style and circumstances. Performance is unbeatable at this price point, and dealer service is tops.

    Perfect car for empty nesters that like to travel. No problems ever, enjoy the engine’s power and smoothness. Great roadholding but if you drive it in the snow - invest in snow tires!

  • First BMW I've ever owned and I love it!

    This car was just AWESOME! Looks great, performance is top shelf, and it's still comfortable enough to be my daily-driver. AWD and I had zero issues in the winter. I can't say enough great things about this car. (having a baby and need 4 doors now- only reason for selling)

  • It's not a car. It's an experience

    Packed with so many features and so much fun to drive. Every time I drive this car it puts a smile on my face. The heated seats and neck warm allow you to drive year round with the top down. You will absolutely LOVE this car.

  • Love My Car

    I was very excited to purchase this car, however is does not handle snow very well. I would suggest the AWD model if you live in an area where it snows - I live in the Buffalo area.
