Forbes : 5 Great Convertibles for 2024

MisanoblueZ4 · 03-30-2024, 08:42 AM

Z4 makes the list, author seems unaware of the manual option currently available.
Forbes maybe reviewing all these this summer more in depth.

What a shame that the author didn’t do his homework! 👎🏻

A somewhat comic omission as the included Z4 photo is of a 2025 model in Deep Green Matte.

The advent of digital publishing, and subsequent decline of traditional journalism has lead to a noticeable drop in quality. At least I see typos and other mistakes in online copy that never would have made it into a print paper.

And that’s not even accounting for the growing number trash sites engineered to appear at the top of search results, and filled with just enough factual information to fool the unwary.

1) BMW announced that the 6MT was available on Jan. 31st.

2) As mentioned the picture is the frozen deep green metallic that is only available with the 6 MT.

3) The author never did his homework!

If any of you has a Forbes account please add your thoughts in the comments section of the article.

I actually received a return email within 11 minutes. She said that she would forward it to the author.

Aren’t there only 5 convertibles total available in 2024?! ��

mdoneinvt · 03-31-2024, 12:10 PM

Well not on the list is the M4 M440 M8 M850 Audi S5 there is 5 others off the top of my head.

Westside Guy · 03-31-2024, 12:15 PM

Forbes is now corrected their article and it now reads:

“Every model comes with an eight-speed automatic shift and rear-wheel drive. A manual shift will be available as an option in 2025.”

List was not an all inclusive one, just their picks for great ones. Nice to have the car included.

Got a "what is it yesterday". Guy really liked the car but was totally unaware that BMW made a 2 seater.

Great marketing BMW, NOT
