BMW are very serious here. For the next gen of Z4, Z8 & 6er cabrio folding hardtops are seriously considered. And will make it into production - except in case something really goes wrong (eg. if driving dynamics - especially in M variants - is affected too much).

So only low-end models (Z2 & 1er cabrio) will get canvas, while other models are (planned) to get folding hardtops.

What would that mean for CLK, SLK & SL?
MB surely wouldn't let BMW get away with being the only Hardtop offering. Next generation CLK HAS to have one.
