Same here. Especially when two different magazines gives two completely opposite ratings for it.

Yeah the wing is the one component I was thinking about leaving out, it is a very high quality piece however. It adds a considerable amount of downforce which would be nice at high speeds and through the twisties but I think ill pass on it and wait for a better looking wing, if one is ever made.

Why choose it over the coupé??
It's heavier and nowhere near as stiff!

Yep. The coup is a little over a half second faster 0-60mph.


Where's the extra weight coming from in the convertible anyway?

The extra w8 comes from the convertible roof mechanisms!

I own a E36 coupe at the moment, but the feelin you get drivin' in a convertible is so much different! So much, that the half second difference doesn't matter 2 me!

You can't describe the convertible feelin', u must feel it for yourself! It rox! :flash:

I don't like convertibles, i'd rather have a coupe..... seems lime more of a drivers car too

but i saw a brand new E46 M3 convertible in the Yellow color, and let me tell you

It was parked near my house at night, it looked amazing, shined in the night
it had the top down and the lights were on, cause the guy was standing beside it talkin to his friend. It was nice, but i'd still take the coupe

it all depends on if you want to drive or pose...
sure a powerful convertible is great fun but 99% of the time the coupé is the better drive, so it comes down to how much you want the performance or if youre just after a fast cabrio you just want to cruise in...
either version of the M3 represents a great car, pick one and enjoy!

cheers

I'd take the 3.

It has ample power and it just the right size.


I wish someone would figure out a way to cram a 2001 M5 engine into a E36 M3

I think I would take the M5 first. Only because I like the styling better. Especially the new taillight design BMW introduced for the 5's in 2001.

BTW I'm a honda driver, but this discussion was too intriguing for me to pass up. The M5 and M3 are my 2 favorite cars. Even though I liked the E36 styling better.:smoka:
