Plus my factory premium audio with my cd player gives good enough sound to keep me happy.
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.

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.Last edited by Brezzi; 08-19-2013, 07:06 AM.

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.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

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.1988 325i Vert

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.Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - Stonea
