E93 M3

I think the rear overhangs too much with the roof gone. It just seems so much longer without the roof.

Wow, I've been looking at 1's too much. The M3 vert looks crazy long now

Crazy big as well. Too much...

I thought of this myself. Have I completely distorted my perspective? It looks almost like a 6 series.:smile:

too big...If I wanted a vert that big I would opt for a 6 series. JMO plus I still can't get past the hood bulge...I thought it would grow on me but it hasn't.

I'm not exactly feeling the M3 conv. I went to the movies last night and saw a dark gray coupe parked in front of a restaurant valet. OMFG!! I will own an M car. I'm not positive, I'm definite.

Yea, the M3 coupe is stunning and I am fond of the sedan as well, but the convertible seems stretched from the side.

AlexM105 · 04-26-2008, 08:12 PM

Love it. If I could buy it, I would. :smile:

The giant hood bulge is what is a no go for me, it looks absoulte terrible.

buckwheat986 · 04-27-2008, 09:20 PM

looks good to me..but need to see it in person

mtla4 · 04-28-2008, 11:54 AM

E90 takes the cake...E92 is also nice while a vert M3..I never understood High performance convertible.. If I would own a convertible I would just cruise in it enjoy the sun the wind and not getting crazy(scared of rollovers)

I've never understood the point behind the m3 vert. I do see a few middle aged housewives driving them around the philly burbs though, I guess they are appealing because they are more "exclusive."

They cheapen the M3 moniker with this garbage. M3 should be a car that scares the posers away. Sedans, convertibles, touring wagons...blech. BMW has lowered the bar here.
