M3 convertible options
Since I am pretty much a purist I don't have much interest in a convertible M3 I am pretty behind on the whole convertible issue. Too much weight and too little rigidity for me. However, after seeing a video of the new 335i cabriolet here: http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/20...%2F&frame=true I decided a folding hartop M3 would be pretty darn cool.
What are the facts/rumors about soft/hard top for the new M3? Will the hardtop M3 be the M4? A much older article here: http://www.worldcarfans.com/spyphoto...01/country/gcf stated that 3 series will only have canvas tops for weight and maintenance issues. I guess based on the video this artice is just totally outdated. |

It will be the M3 Convertible (not M4).
It's supposed to get the same "features"/gimmicks that the E92 M3 will get. Only thing that car magazines are speculating about is that the M3 convertible might get a CF hard top to reduce weight. It's supposed to debut in spring 2008 (i really doubt that). Best regards south |

Hmm, why put a CF hard top on the car, if its going to be heavy anyway. A CF roof on the hardop would have minial weight savings so I think that it won't happen. It will only be on the coupe and CSL.

Yeah, same here. Maybe he was making fun of me for saying that the CSL will have the CF roof. (As if to speculate on a car that is not even out yet, which is kind of funny because thats what we're all doing!)
