Ya, agree w/ the "meh" part, I think Adrian van Hooydonk was describing the Z4 as such, +the ability to touch the rear tires while on the seat as another 'factor'. All silliness really, we should just ditch this roadster/convertible/spider/spyder/whatevs supposed differences and replace w/ just 1 term. I propose "no roofers" lol.
