    If you're going to buy a car and never drive it, you may as well do it with something that is dull as dishwater like that 7 series, instead of something you'd have fun driving.

    I am going to take the opposite stance, I love convertibles. There is nothing that changes my mood more than a nice sunny day, put the top down, feel the wind and hear the exhaust. I just love it. That being said my E30 is a coupe for a reason as well.

    Unless you are tracking all the time, its nice to have duality in a vert :)

    I agree with the comments here about convertibles. I had a '93 E30 vert (the only droptop I've owned), and I didn't like driving with the top down very much. It was always too hot or too cold out for me. The sun bakes you in slow traffic, and the wind freezes you on the freeway.

    Anyhoo. How about a rust-free '91 ix manual for $6k? Interior is toast, but the rest looks good. Seller's description is lacking detail, but I'd go look at it if I were seriously on the hunt for a 2-door ix.

    It's a buyers market for sure. Pretty sure the least expensive hard top E46 M3 I've seen was in the 5-7k range, and it probably needed a lot of money thrown at it.

    The only reason I can think of to buy an E46 M3 convertible these days is that it's generally a cheaper point of entry in to a factory S54 car.

    I hate on convertibles as much as anyone. They're heavier, slower, have a crappier chassis, usually look like crap compared to the coupe, are louder inside, but I gotta say if you're going to buy a convertible at leas an M convertible is going to be somewhat decent in performance and handling in addition to the dubious benefits like top down cruising.

    I am selling my 2002 BMW M3 . Between 30k and 40k the engine was replaced by the dealer which means the current engine only has about 70k on it. The car is in great shape having been recently serviced. Brakes and tires have also been recently done. Clean title in hand.

    Probably want to quiz the owner of the vert on that one before buying. Sometimes if the car is damaged even in a minor way in transport when new they get written off and put onto a salvage title as they can't be sold as new, but could be anything.
