Solar Flair: 2012 BMW 328i Convertible

MSRP: $45,840; as Tested: $ 53,692

In the best of years, it's a short, top-down season in the Capital District. In a year like one, where rain came early and often, it's even shorter. So, when the Columbus Day weekend forecast came up all aces, it was no surprise that convertibles were everywhere, making up for lost time.

Happily, those ranks included me, driving this week's test car, the 2012 BMW 328i.

The first BMW convertible based on the 3-Series appeared in 1987. The idea of a four-seater in this segment was new at the time. The slightly-larger-than-sports-car-size proved popular, and was in keeping with the car's upscale leanings. Even in the first generation models, the convertible top (then soft) lowered beneath the deck, for a smooth, lid-less profile.

The Eighties and the Era of Big Hair passed, and these days, the trend in premium convertibles is to swap the conventional soft top for a retractable hard top. As noted when we drove last week's Lexus , this trade of top materials brings with it a bag full of plusses and minuses.
