Well you know I'm not a lap time guy and I prefer the more leisurely performance of a GT/Convertible over something like a M3 CSL that you guys go nuts over. When you combine the looks of this version with the new gearbox you have a winner in my book. Either way this heavy cabrio still has limits above what I'd try on most roads so it works for me.

Yeah, i know that. But still this is an M3 and weight savings is needed with every new generation, at least that's what BMW was doing...untill now...

Gulp that is a lot. Even the previous generation M3 coupe to cabrio didn't gain that much weight. Maybe those acceleration times everyone was complaining about are real. I still want one though.

Wasn't there some talk about a folding carbon fiber roof at one point? Way too expensive I guess.

If they stopped making these, I wouldn't shed a tear. In fact, I wish they made a touring version instead of this poser.
