It's a bit hot this week:

Now I don't know about you guys, but after owning my Z4 for 7 summers and experiencing 35c+ heat whilst driving (with the roof down) quite a few times, I would recommend you wear a cap, even if you have hair like me, or you will get to your destination and not know what you've driven there for

It's not great. In these Temps I actually prefer keeping the hood and windows up and sticking the a/c on full blast

I imagine this is why the figures suggest that less convertibles are sold on the continent, compared to the UK, as their weather tends to be a lot warmer than ours!

Anyway, happy and safe driving

I look an absolute pratt in a baseball cap so traditional it has to be!

Had a 2 hour journey to do and stopped at the garage to pick up a cap. Glad I did.

Well while we are being so honest. I have to admit to sun cream on my ears in this weather.
