Nice, although i have to say, i'm not a big fan of any BMW convertables, other than the Z line. They just dont look right to me for some reason. But congrats

I only got the convertible because it was actually a better deal than the coupe. they had 2 at the lot and this one was less miles and cheaper.

Good deal!

The hard top for the convertible makes the car look unique... I like that look.

Welcome - I also have an M3 Cab in Techno Viollett/Dove Grey/auto with matching hardtop. You'll like the auto in traffic and you'll also find out that the trans is really well engineered. It acutally follows you in gear and downshifts on its own so that you're always in the correct gear for the power band. I am also getting 26 MPG in my daily commutes !

I got out today and actualy TESTED the car and I can't be any more pleased. Even though I wanted the manual the auto transmission is just as good I believe. Plus here in Tacoma traffis is really bad because of the people that commute to Seattle.

Lucky!

I think the verts with the hardtop look cool as hell. The convertible looks better than the cali-top'd Ti.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.
