Art, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The ccrop of the B & W might look good on the color image.

Personally, I like the original as it was. There is a lot of interesting “stuff” in that scene and your wider view lets us see it all - the people, the graphics.
The B&W seems flat, needs a bit more contrast.

I went back and looked at the cropped B&W. I’ve decided that I like it, other than the crop frame needs to move slightly to the right and show the word “Nightmare” in its entirety. The juxtaposition of the people in the ad with those inside the car, along with the “Human Freaks”and “Nightmare” words may be a comment on our current society in general or in that locale. Or maybe I’m over thinking it or feeling a bit snarky about my neighbors this morning. I would still up the contrast a bit.

I posted this photo on Instagram yesterday. (It is a car in the shuttle that goes from Grand Central Station to Times Square here in New York City, the only two stops.)
One of my friends is always looking at images as black-and-white possibilities. He sent his cropped conversion back to me.

Your image is great. Tell your friend to stop wasting time.

Given the two options, I prefer your image.
However, after looking at some alternative B&W edits, I think your image could make an excellent B&W image. For me, the colors are too busy and there is no clear subject. I didn't find the girl standing inside the car of any real interest. But, I did find the movie poster looking like an old-time movie of much more interest and a good subject of the image. Since those old-time movies were often dark dingy B&W movies, this image feels more interesting in that genre. By converting to B&W, dodging and burning to emphasize the two actors on the side of the car and increasing the contrast of the image, brings back that dark dingy feel of those old-time suspenseful B&W detective movies.
Just my thoughts..

Don't think that it works at all in B&W, and I don't like the crop.
Yours is definitely better.
