Wow... I don't know about recent sales, but it was definitely popular in the past. I wonder why?

Isn't it obvious why? The entire 2nd generation lineup is being phased out (R56, R55, R58, R59 already discontinued; Countryman and Paceman still to follow). The 3rd generation F57 convertible hasn't officially debuted yet but spyshots have been published.

As for recent sales, only 238 convertibles sold nationwide in September (link).

Weren't they still second generation? Maybe Mini's just switching them over to third generation.
