Default Which convertible do you like?

Which BMW convertible you like better? The 3 series or z3 or z4? Explain your answer.

I've driven both E46 cic and Z4 during Susan G Komen Driving Event. The Z4 has a more distinct style. It handles as a real hard core sports car. 3 series convertible is just not standing out on style and handling.
However, what is affordable probably is a E30 convertible nowadays.

not a big fan of convertibles, and I don't like the 3 series convertibles much at all... Z4 is sexier than Z3, so Z4 wins.

I guess I would have to take the 3 series. The Z3 looks like The Batmobile, and the Z4 is only slightly better... like a stretched out Batmobile.

I personally would never drive any convertible, exept maybe a 69 caddy or something... I just don't think guys look good in convertibles...

I am a big fan of convertibles, and for this I have to go for the z4. It just seems more put together than the z3, plus the design is more modern. I do like the 3series convertibles as well, but the fun factor of the z4 greatly outweighs the occupancy load of the 3 series.

Z4 it is.

see, I love convertables.. and I do not care what people thinking about how a guy "looks" in one.. they are great fun! Eventually I will finish my Fiat 124 Sport Spider and have it back on the road for all the warm summer weather.

Out of the three, the Z4 won, but only by a tiny bit.. it has a nicer interior than the Z3

What is Z1? How does it looks like? Must be a classic BMW.
