What's with M3 Convertibles?
If you want the convertible, get the 330CiC. If you want a sports coupe get the M3.
I laugh at those guys in M3 convertibles...I think it's a travesty that they even make convertibles in M3 trim. A M3 should be a serious automobile, not something for jackasses to show off their trophy wife in. Oh well....BMW has to bend to market pressure, hence the X5....

You should just accept the fact that every time you take your Bimmer in for service you won't get it back for under $200-$300. Their techs are trained to find stuff to add to the list of to-dos every time you go in.

Posted for my Dad... who is going through withdrawal because is account is screwed up... (Twin 8s!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have two RX-8s and love them. We bought both of them at MSRP and did not want all the widgets... This is a sports car!... Not a mini-van to haul kids in and keep them entertained.
I think BMW is a fine company, and they are the gold standard in the sports sedan category. But there are thousands of Bimmers in the area and very few 8s'.... People look at the Bimmers and nod .... People walk up to us, gawk at the cars, ask questions, its great. We really like owning cars that are fun and unique.
By the by got a black 6MT for 27,339 and a blue 6MT for 27,969. Blue one has a 6 CD system. Don't see the need for a nav system on a nice curvy road... Put the windows down, downshift and blow through the turn!
Oh, lastly kids are 15 (boy) and 16 (girl), 5'10" and 5'9" and they fit in the back great.
Thanks

Please someone help me get my Dad's account fixed... he is driving me nuts!

E36 M3 v RX8, RX8
E46 M3 v RX8, E46
If you do get the E46 M3, get the real man M3(coupe). Please don't buy an M3 with the chopped roof. Please
If you want convertible, Boxster S is a much better convertible than E46 M3 Convertible. Much much better!!
