This is what you are paying for in an M3. You pay extra money over a 3 series to get these benefits.
THEN, you pay BMW extra money to cut off your roof and b piller, destroying the rigidity and structural firmness of the car, you pay extra to add a considerable amount of weight and throw off the perfect weight balance which the handling and performance is dependent on (also dependent on the structure that has now been tampered with), all for putting the roof down?
So here is the math... You pay a nice price for perfectly balanced performance car THEN you pay extra to tamper with that perfect balance.
I just dont get it. I dont mean this in ANY offensive way at all and I really hope it does not sound that way. Again, I just dont think I really get the concept.
EDIT: If I ever wanted a BMW vert, I would get a 328vert because obviously the performance does not matter as much as the joys of having the top down. Some might say "what if I want the power AND the top down?!" in that case I would suggest a 335 vert with a tune (which I would feel is still a bit of waste of money but can understanding someone wanting a powerful vert as a daily driver). But I can not understand a M3 vert.

If I were looking for a coupe instead of a convertible, I would be sitting in a GT-R, not an M3. The M3 vert had all my criteria met and I'm happy to be driving it with the top down as much as possible.
