Let's see all the convertibles.

dieseldub · 02-08-2009, 12:50 PM

I never liked the 135i convertible until i saw a black on red. Now i'm hooked, which makes the decision harder coupe vs. convertible.

Let's see those pics. And for those with the vert, are you happy with the performance? and what color is the headliner inside? and the A-pillar, is it black?

My red with black top 135 vert has a black headliner - everything inside is black except for the walnut trim. I think it looks pretty good. Performance - I have the steptronic and it does get out of its own way - no problem - plus lots of fun with the paddle shifters on the M steering wheel (came with the sport pkg). The vert weighs about 300 lbs more than the coupe so I suppose its not as fast 0-60 - but I'm not racing it so makes no difference to me. Performance aside - there is nothing like driving with the top down on sunny Spring-like days like we had this weekend in DC!

Heres mine. Its Graphite with a black on black interior. And i'm very happy about the performance. No real problems to report. The outside surface of the a pilar is black, shadowline trim. The inside A Pilar is black and the headliner is black, even with the moonlight black top.

Here you go. Some pictures from the summer. You do give up a bit in performance but you don't buy a vert to track it. In a vert you can go slow and still enjoy it with the top down.

beautiful cars guys. keep em coming. i love soft tops. brings me back to when i was 16 with my saab 900 convertible. I think i'm gonna start looking for a vert. either 135i or 335i before i have any kids and need a bigger car

Eh, folding hardtops are expensive, heavy, and prone to failure.

Here's a crappy pic of mine:

Warmtoes, what do you think o the moonlight black top. It goes well with my SG vert. but how does it go with other colors?

There is already a vert thread by the way; a good 5 pages long. Mine is 10 days old today but I dont have anything but iPhone snaps; ill take pics once I detail it this weekend.

trfortin69 · 02-12-2009, 09:07 PM

in my opinion this car was made to be a vert. the couple top appears to be a little bulbus and rear of the roof seems to drop off too steeply in the back. Don't mind my rims these are my winter wheels.

Those are some great lookin' TiAg 'verts!

Im also not a big fan of the drop top. I think the coupe and the overall car looks more aggressive. However, it is a beautiful car.
