I did not start this as a mine is better than yours in any way shape or form and made an effort to clearly state that. If to you a car with a roof is not an option, no matter what my car with a roof is, how can mine possibly be better? It is an opinion and a preference.

I was truly hoping someone would be able to give me some insight about choosing a vert, but all I keep getting is defensive responses. Even tho I tried not to offend anyone, it still happened.

I did not start a new thread about this because I really don't care enough, and judging from how the last few posts went, it would go to hell in a hand basket.

I'm not some irrational asshole and I would ask the same question to a Porsche or Ferrari owner. I do have family who have a Porsche Turbo Vert and a F430 Vert. I don't get that as much as I don't get an M3 vert but since it's family I guess it easier to have that convo without anyone getting offended.
I thought I did in my reply. I chose the vert because I always wanted one. Which was the logic behind me getting a 335i Vert first.

There is just something about a convertible to me (in the right climate of course) that was appealing.

I drove the M3 coupe but, wanted to get an M3 vert because after owning a vert it became clear to me that it is what I really like, I felt "closed in" in the coupe and you don't see many M3 verts (plenty of verts BMW and others) on the road down here. I drive with the top down almost everyday (unless really hot in the afternoons) and love the sound of both the motor and the exhaust too. I didn't think twice regarding extra weight, price, performance degregation or anything else.

If that didn't come across in my post then I hope this clarifies it a bit.
