Depending on how much you really really want a convertible, you can take the R32 out of the running. So then, you would be down to the MINI or the 328. As fun as the MINI is, IMHO, it is too quirky and impractical to be a primary vehicle. And the MINI convertible is even more so. And, at the risk of being politically incorrect, I kinda cringe everytime I see a grown man drive by in a MINI convertible. The regular MINI S.....OK. But there is something about the convertible that makes it bit too cutesy for a grown man...actually any guy, for that matter! (Sorry if I offended anyone!) Cliche or not, but the 328 convertible seems like a perfectly fitting car for a young physician. (Older doctors should drive 5-series, or Buicks!)
