Personally I like the C70 but which one look the best with the roof up?

C70/E93

Pics say all... Munich Magic for me...

The C70 for me. It's the only one which has a natural curve to the roofline, something that the 335i fails miserably.

Yeah I too would have to go with the C70. BMW's roof is classic form follows function. Is that pic real? If so then you can clearly see where the engineers allowed the ackward shape to allow for rear-seat headroom. The 3's roof unfortunately plays on the 3 Coupe's worst angle, the side profile. It simply looks too fat arond the mid-section and lower doors. The Volvo looks much better integrated.

Volvo's roof for me too.

Straight from the rear the C70 is a beauty but my biggest problem with it is the front, which it quite narrow compared with the rear. More over the front and the rear doesn't even seem to match. During the summer I had a chance to cruise in the C30 and as in most cabs it was a bit tight in the back. With the roof up the 3er is probably wins the round when it comes to space in the back seat. At the end of the day 3er Cabrio wins my heart. I love that it can replace a sedan and even be used as a cabrio during the summer. It is a very good all arounder.

I'm not voting.

We've only seen one or two pics of the 3er wih roof up so far. I need to see more, and real life shots in particular.

The E93 already is the best looking 4-seater cabrio judging by the press pics, but I want to see more angles of th roof, in different colors too.

Fails??? Sorry, but BMW didn't 'fail' at anything. I am very happy the E93 doesn't have that huge curve in the roof. The car would be all goofy and VW Beetle-like if the E93 had the same curve as the C70.

Roof line looks better on the Volvo... but at the same time, rear headroom looks non-existant int the latter.

But if you evaluate the overall car, the E93 is a million times nicer.

Why do you guys think the round roof of the Volvo looks better than the flatter one found on the BMW??? I like the low profile of the E93 much more. It's way sportier.

To me the BMW looks too squared off and just plain goofy, again IMO. The BMW almost looks like a bad toupee from the sides.
