Good Points

m3 cabriolet.... its FAST....the NOISE is AMAZING!
its good looking...the handling is superb, no difference from coupe on ordinary roads.

Bad Points

weight of damn convertible....it could be faster..
not much torque...if you buy SMG, then you can only use launch control a few times before BMW voids the warranty on the gear box! and you cannot use the highest gear mode for too long, otherwise the same applies.

General Comments

jeremy clarkson wrote the m3 convertible was rubbish in the sunday times. but then he also wrote that the murcielago was rubbish, and the mini cooper s was rubbish...and he sold his ferrari and bought a mercedes, oh and hes almost 90 years old.
i have recently bought one, its a brilliant car. if you are going to take it on a track, then i suppose you should buy a coupe, but if its for every day driving on normal roads then its perfect.
put the roof down, slot it in third gear, and drive it through a tunnel! the noise it generates is amazing! i raced it with a 355 spider f1, all the way to 110 mph, and i promise my m3 was glued to the back of the ferrari...
i saved 2000 pounds on my car, and its a uk car, bought from a local dealer. look for a cancelled order and you could save yourself some money.
and if you do buy it, then run it in properly, otherwise you will have problems.... ENJOY !
