I agree. Unfortunatly the Coupe (in 135i applications) outsells the vert by more than 40%. However, I remember hearing either Scott or South saying that there would be a vert version, as the 1er is the last ragtop in the BMW fleet and they want to keep the customers who prefer to not have a tin roof. |

Man I am so waiting for this new m1 to come out. I always loved the m3, but it seems every generation they get a lil larger and the 1 series is curtain similar size to my curtain e46 M that I have, which is a perfect size to me. Smaller size, less weight means better performance.

This M1 will surely be a beast, but remeber the next M1 comes with I4 Twin-Power-Twin-Turbo and 350 hp and no more I6. It should be even lighter. But imagin the next Z2 M Coupé..........

well, I certainly won't track the car as much as I will enjoy it on warm summer days with the roof opened... it's a question of priorities.

Harsh judgement dont you think? Are you the same type of guy that says that vert owners cant be true enthusiats?
The Modern M car is more a GT car than a sports car, so why wouldnt an M car be for him? |

I would have to be arrested then, I would choose a moonroof over a CF roof...
I don't, personally, like verts, but a car w/o a moonroof/sunroof just seems so closed in.

Then they became mandatory, except for the E92 M3 (CF roof standard) and E90 M3 (my lucky stars) where it probably had something to do with providing a consolation proze for not having the CF roof. And now there are rumors that BMWNA is considering a sunroof delete option again for the 335is (because it's supposed to be sporty). It'd be nice to have the option - there is no greater waste of money and weight for those who don't want them. |
