Yep. Let's say M roadster is a raw cruiser, while M coupe is a raw racer.

M6 Cabrio case is different:
For instance M engineers have reinforce the M6 cabrio chasis' rigidity with using a carbon fibre in crossframes: making the car almost as rigid as M6 coupe, but at the same time not adding too much weight. That will allow M6 Cabrio to be on par with a M6 Coupe.
