I totally disagree with your styling opinion, I have a e93 and with the top up i think it looks amazing, especially when all the windows are down and u have all that window area open and when the top is down " pure sex" you clearly hear that engine roaring and exhaust , everyone stops and looks and it's a 10+ with the ladies.. E93 ftw in my opinion

With top up, the E93 styling is a bit awkward as compared to E92 (and I own E93, first a 335i and now an M3). Buying such a car used it's all about style and performance. If you are buying for style, the E93 is just not quite there. If buying for performance the E92 is better (much lighter and stiffer).
Secondarily, the convertible top has the potential to be a huge liability should there be a problem and the car is out of warranty (and the top (except for motor) is not covered by CPO). However, with this top having been around since 2007, I have heard very, very little problems (apart from the frayed cord problem which might only affect the headliner's cosmetic cover).
If you like top down driving, and really hearing that engine, and don't mind the awkward styling with top up, there is no comparison and worth the couple grand more in price used (about $8650 difference new).
