This sleek BMW roadster first came out in the 1990s. Having been updated since then, it’s just as appealing now as it ever was! Its drivetrain includes a trio of twin-turbocharged engines, a 4 cylinder (sDrive 28i) and two inline 6 cylinders (sDrive 35i and 35is). There’s a factory-standard 6-speed manual gearbox as well as an optional 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The aluminum retractable hardtop takes just 20 seconds to open.
