2007 BMW M6 Convertible

BMW's M6 convertible trades the coupe's sweet carbon-fiber roof for a power-folding soft top, but even that lid is somewhat unconventional. As with the standard 6-series convertible, the M6's folding top features a flared design and a vertical rear window that powers up and down independently from the roof. Putting the top down provides unfiltered exposure to the 500-hp V-10's full song (which peaks at a sky-high 7750 rpm). Regrettably, as with the M6 coupe, BMW's servo-shifted, seven-speed SMG manual is the only transmission available. Still, the combo will send the four-seat convertible from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, according to BMW, making it essentially as quick as its hardtop sibling. The M6 convertible is expected to go on sale in November (turn the heat up high and keep that top down) at a price of about $103,000.

BMW R1200RT

When it comes to piling on thousands of miles, we're not sure it's necessary to saddle up on a half-ton luxo-barge. The surprisingly agile RT is packed with comfort yet scales in at an easily managed 570 lbs with its capacious 7.1-gallon tank full of fuel. Prices start below $17K, but we highly recommend getting the optional “Standard Package” ($17,755) that includes such niceties as heated grips, cruise control and a trip computer.
