But you have to stretch to find issues with this vehicle. The 2007 3 Series Cabriolet drives pretty much like a sports car (especially when powered by the 300 hp engine) with superbly firm suspension and razor sharp handling. And the ride is wonderfully smooth and compliant, which seems a contradiction when you get virtually no body roll in the sharpest of corners. BMW seems to have found a way to provide superior ride and handling from the same chassis, and this is a rare accomplishment.
Couple this with the striking lines of the 2007 3 Series Cabriolet, and you have another benchmark vehicle from BMW.

I personally find the coupe to be better looking when the top is up on the convertible, but the top-down profile is hard to resist. This car goes on sale here in the U.S. right when convertible season pics up, in about 2 months. Going to be some fire down at the local BMW dealer and in Jersey when they issue the sales reports!
