Downsides of convertibles?

[NC325iC]

its good to know that i can roll my car and survive, i didnt know anyone had tested its rollover

I certainly wouldn't think half. Maybe you don't like yours, but I'd care less if I had a sunroof or not, I'd prefer it if it wasn't all messed up. I was looking for a regular, tin roof 2 door originally. Didn't find one I liked by the time I NEEDED a car.

Positives-
We have a bigger sunroof bitches!

I think half of us non-cabbie drivers would love to find a good clean body without that stupid hole in the roof.

Wow, I understand this is a negative's for cabbies thread, but goddamn! There's a lot of ragtop hate in here. Especially the shit about just them in general to not have a metal roof, and being an 80's yuppie car in particular. Wtf? Perhaps when they were new. I gurafuckingtee you my cabby handles better than some coupes that at least don't have any real suspension work done to them.
Basically, the stereotypical cabby comments are rediculous, and I'm getting sick of them. Give the real downsides and leave it at that.

Yes, I have a lot of negatives-
Sqeaky
Noisy
Cold(er)
Slightly smaller trunk in the front area
Rear window fogging sucks
Mine has a small leak at the top front corner of the door facing down hill
Heavier (yeah, barely)

Positives-
We have a bigger sunroof bitches!

If you are gay, you are gay regarless even if you do not own a cabrio, if people think that you are gay because you drive a cabrio, i guess i am double gay due to i have two, but i also have a wife and beatifull children, i recomend that if you think that only gay guys own convertible you go and get yourself one for thinking that way and being insecure about yourself.

Someones testy. Its a joke, remember what that is?

Haha. I should have said what I really meant:

"They say that the hardest part of driving a replica cabrio is telling your parents that you're just pretending to be gay."


Better?

I wasn't serious man. It's the internet! relax sax.

Well, it is a replica, sorry let me correct that, its a clone, as it has all the E30 M3 components, i am proud of it, plus I own 1 of 150 real MTechII and when I drive it I wear all pink.

[87Blue325iC]

One thing that bothers me about verts is the lower bumper, and how the driving lamps look. Is there anyway I could put the regular iS valance on?

No, can't be done. Doesn't fit at all...

[CorvallisBMW]

guys, so the cabby has body flex, how can we get rid of this problem?

sorry dont mean to hijack this thread

You can't. Live with it.

[naika]

A cabbies is fun, only problem with mine is the wind at higher speed and squeaks from top in town but that is nothing compared to the fun it provides.
Not slower than a coupe, ask Mike (e30this) My cabbie was faster than his 325i coupe before he wrecked it.
I love cabbies so I'm not the one to ask but if you want one, just go for it. Just keep in mind it is a bit pricier to maintain (top, interior and some parts are specific to that body style)

No but really, gay yuppie talk aside, I miss my vert. It handled so well in stock form -- given the right tires.

[devonjordan]

CABBIES are awesome, the only downside is its not an m3.

[-Javier-]

the only thing i hear on mine is wind everything else is fine.. cabbys are FUN
