Convertible probably can hear the exhaust and the engine better! Great for summer days and posing! Also good when the sun is out in the winter I imagine

Saloon is for driving
Cab is for posing

Anyway, with 10 sunny days a year in the UK I'd do up the saloon.

if you were to come up with ideas to ruin a perfectly fine car you would struggle to find a way as effective as simply making a cabriolet version

I like the saloons better although I do like Convertibles too, just not for posing in :o

Convertibles have passed there shelf life as a show off car if showing off is the purpose of buying one in this day and age IMO... If one wants a car to pose in to the masses then either an E46 M3 convertible or E93 are the vehicles to go for.

Gay? yeah ok.

Here's a sneak peak of my cabrio. 24V, staggered Alpinas and a few more bits. Once its finished, i'll put some better pics up. I blew out 3 discs and had emergency back surgery on march 25th. Haven't touched it since.

Some right funny buggers on here! :D

I've had a saloon and decided to go for the cab for a change - they always looked cool in their day and still do now. :)

Gert, Diable, Rav, Pony and a Colonist. The vert is a failed cause by association! :)

*The Colonist is forgiven, they have the weather.
