Best summer car for £7000?

I'm looking to buy a convertible for the summer (and probably keep for a few years) with a budget of £7000 (maybe a little more). It needs to be petrol and a four seater. The BMW E93 looks nice but what would you recommend ?

The E93 is nice, but there is a questionmark as to how much of one you can buy for £7000. If you can find a Lexus IS250C within budget, have a look. More reliable, smoother and quieter top up or top down.
