No there is definitely an occassion for this car. Would i get it over the coupe? Tough to say-actually probably but living in SoCal and seeing that is mid 70s right now in the dead of winter, i can see why people buy these.

Just what I was going to say, so that's a completely false statement from BMW.

Of course it does. But "Golf has it too" sounds funnier.

Re: Official Pics: M3 Convertible with M DKG

- ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Here we are busy reporting on all the latest and greatest at the Detroit Motor Show, then up pops our friends at - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER with what appears to be the first official photos of the BMW M3 Cabrio which had us frantically running over to the BMW stand expecting to see this baby in the flesh, only to be left disappointed.

The new M3 Cabrio is reported to be the first to feature BMW's 7 speed double clutch transmission which will carry the label "M DKG" and is very similar to Volkswagen's six speed DSG transmission which uses 2 computer controlled switches to make shift changes both quicker and smoother. The 0 to 60mph time lies at 5.3 seconds which is 0.4 seconds slower than the coupe, largely due to the extra weight of the retractible roof.
We aren't expecting to see the M3 Cabrio in the flesh until Geneva in March, but lets see if these leaked photos spur BMW into action sooner.
