DECISIONS, decisions.
Sometimes life presents the nice kind of hard choices.
Harvard or Yale? Paris or Rome? Oil or gold?
If you had to boil the benefits of both down to experiencing just one long term – and both presented impeccable qualifications to justify your expenditure of time and money… how could you choose?
Would you opt for Yale only to miss Beantown’s nightlife? Would you vie for Paris and do without Villa Borghesi? Or what if you put all your chips down on gold only to watch oil futures rocket beyond the horizon?
The debate between which BMW convertible the 1-Series or 3-Series, presents a similarly luxurious dilemma. To buy both would be a foolhardy expenditure of $100K. And at $100K, there are many more enticing cars that you should be considering- used Aston Martins and Ferraris come to mind.
So sense and sensibility dictate that you should opt for just one BMW drop top for your garage. Trouble is…or was… I just couldn’t. Whether it was color choices or amenities or character – both the 1er and 3er present strong, if endearing cases.
That’s why in this segment, we took the 128i and 328i to Block Island (a scenic spit of hills off Rhode Island’s coast) and asked SoCal native and one-time Infiniti owner Alexandra Harbushka to judge which convertible might entice her to switch to a roundel badged car.
To say the least, we were surprised by her choice. TRT: 09:30.

BMWs on Block Island

SETTING up a time-lapse shot can be a bit of a pain.
When you’re dealing with the elements, time, and herds of Block Island tourists who switched off their reason and rational faculties when they boarded the ferry at Port Jervis, it can be a royal pain.
Luckily, we had the patient and diligent Benjamin Winchel at work to capture the magic of a summer’s sun setting over Block Island Sound.
It was beautiful.
The Bimmers – flame surfaced though they were – looked captivating.
Our man Kevin Kusina shot this image and with a little doctoring from Neil Rogers – voila – you have the image that I’m now using for my desktop.
As for the time lapse footage, well, let’s just say it was worth it.
