    Your sedan is one of the nicer ones I have seen. Keep it and keep up the good work

Plus my factory premium audio with my cd player gives good enough sound to keep me happy.
              well congrats to you for living in a nice neighborhood. in the bay area, it will get cut if you have anything worth stealing. it also rains a lot more here. and i have new rubber and it still leak in the front corners, just a little. Also when you open the doors, there is no rain gutter so, it runs into the car. and about the audio, again, ask any of the audio people here and they will tell you, vert audio sucks. I sank 1000s into my audio system to get anything good out of it.
              so before you fly off the handle and say what im saying is not true, for the guy who will be living in the same area as me, think.
              Much wow

                I traded my sedan for a 'vert.

                While I loved the vert (really, really, lolve verts!) I still to this day miss my sedan.

                  I have an early sedan, and ive thought abuot the same thing. The issues that deterred me was 1)everything was in the sedan already and I didnt want to pull it all out 2) cost of soft tops 3) pretty much no matter what you will have some sort of a leak.

                    I've owned a 4door a couple coupes and a now I'm on my third vert. Personally for daily use the pros out weigh the cons IMO. Although all of the verts I've owned had fairly new tops and only leaked in the front corners as Cabriolet stated, but that is only when it was raining constantly for hours on end and the material was saturated. If you are constantly hauling people or things. I would say stick with the sedan. More than one other dude in the vert is always weird, girls love emm tho and they're usually smaller so its not too awkward for them to get in the back.

                    Also I dont really mind the way they preform. A nice stiff suspension, new bushings, beefy sway bars and chassis stiffing goes a long way. I would make the argument that you can feel the effects of said upgrades better on a cabrio than you could in a 4door or coupe. If its an m20 car 5speed and a 4.10 lsd is the way to go. They need the 4.10 to get that extra weight going.

                      I steal my Brother's vert any chance I get, it is super fun to drop the top and drive. Never need AC and women LOVE to go for rides.
                      If you do not have a family I would pop for the vert in a heartbeat. Plus verts sell for more than basic 2/4 doors. But that is depending on the vert's state. If it is as clean as your 4 door I would.

                        Sadly, I am looking to get rid of my vert.
                        7 cars is too many for us and after careful consideration, me and the wife decided that it is the convertible's time.
                        I am in the process of getting it ready for sale now. It is a 1991 laguna green auto.

                        I am also somewhat local to you

                        What parts are not included in the trade?

                        1998 528i "Artic Silver" m-sport(totalled by drunk driver)

                          Surfboard rack + sedan = win.
                          But then, I have motorcycles and an old fiat convertible.

                          So keep the sedan and get a motorcycle.

                            There is nothing as pleasurable as driving a convertible E30 around town. You get waved and thumbed up by so many people. Strangers would strike up a conversation just to talk. If you don't race, then go for a convertible.

                              I've had my vert since the spring and although the cons of the vert can be annoying at times, driving around in nice weather with the top down makes up for it in my opinion.

                              I'd like to get a sedan for my day to day driving at some point but for now the vert is great.

                                Your sedan does look sweet and I currently drive an e90 so I'm not hating on four doors but when it comes to e30s I think:
                                Coupe > Vert > Sedan. That would be by preference so yeah, in your shoes I would trade; especially if I lived on the west coast.
