Should I sell my 4 door to buy a Cabby?

[M3KUK]

I've been offered a late model Cabby for good money, I may have to sell my 325iA 4 door to fund it. Are the Convertibles a more desirable car? Any pitfalls to buying one? Does the roof leak etc.

Thanks Mike.

Yes sell the more door
Yes the cabbie is more desirable
Yes the roofs can leak

It will be a swap practile for unpractile,but if your single or young,happy days .
Oh And they do leak.and rust,,,,

I'd keep the 4 door. The Cabrios are noiser, wobble a little, creak and rattle a bit more and the roof leaks a little bit. Unless you live in the South of France then your roof down days are pretty few and far between.

True dat

It surely depends how you use the car, if it is your only car and will live outside the saloon is a much better bet, if you have another car and the cabby will be garaged go for the swap, somewhere in between, then you have to balance things.

If it's a second car get the cabby, sure they rattle a little but on a warm summers day very little beats an E30 6pot cabby imo..

Agreed.. not that I'm at all biased, obv..

Think about it rationally:

The 4 door will never need a new roof.
The 4 door won't need a new rear screen because it's gone milky.
The 4 door won't wobble and vibrate (as much).
The 4 door won't leak (as much).

But most importantly, you'll look gay in a cab' and super gay if you're with a male passenger

I take it you've never removed a sun roof cassette/had a good look in the roof of a lot of e30's
