You can't buy a convertible and expect the same level or performance as a coupe, not possible, heavier and less rigid. You need to forget about precise performance goals when your in the market for one and accept it for what it is. Convertible is all about the 'top down' experience, it's an amzing way of driving. You can have a sporty, fast convertible, totally...but it'll just never be the best it can be in comparison to it's coupe sibling.

If you were referring to my comment Re: E93 is better looking than E88 then I guess that's a matter of opinion.
