I haven't really driven many performance cars before this. My car before this was an 2015 f22 220d. The M3 is definitely the best car I've ever driven, there's something about not having as many electronics dampening the true essence of a car. Also being a manual helps greatly and the sound of the screaming S54 engine at 7k+ rpm is something else.
I usually have my hardtop on most of the time since it rains here in the UK. Some common problem with convertibles is that the drains in compartment where the soft top hides Gets blocked sometimes and thus water leaks into the boot. I used hot water from a kettle to unblock mine but it's worth checking in there for rust and the boot floor.
