All the reviews and write-ups confirm this.
As far as sunroofs, they are not for the purist and true sports car or purist driver. First of all, enjoying the sun(or moon) is not high performance driving. Second, proper seating position is upright, unless you're in a open wheel race car or you're some punk gansta. That said, taller drivers cannot seat themselves properly in a car with a sunroof, and it'll never pass the helmet test. No sunroofs for true sports cars. Besides, they're too damn expensive!
However, I get the idea that not everyone wants what I want. I do know there are plenty of you out there who do dig on pure sports cars. In the end, a car such as an M3 with much wider market than an M6 or M5 should have appeal to that wider market. They should offer a no sunroof CF and a metal roof with a sunroof OPTION. No one's right or wrong, but I'll be pissed if there's no M3 without a sunroof. Hell, I'm miffed I can get a new 3 Series for that very reason!
