e82

[Ray McCooney]

... and why would you every want a $45k toy car with no sunroof??? or a turbo 4 when you can have a twin turbo 6???

And by that rational, why opt for the bi-turbo six when an impressive turbo 8 is available/soon to be (I surely hope you no longer consider the 3 series and the E82 to be a compact sedan, might as well opt for the 5'er).

The sunroof is an issue of preference. Just because BMW is trying to convince me that the E92 Light Weight (E82) is a luxury vehicle, does not equate to my wanting to adorn it with "luxury appointments". Minimalist individuals such as myself would prefer a stripped down E82 without a sunroof, equipped only with the factory Sport Package/destination and handling at a price point of $36,825 (which could possibly be cheaper with Euro Delivery). Not everyone is going to notch off every option box and elevate the price tag to the 45k range as you have referenced.

Having said that, I would not turn down an optioned out E82 if it were given to me, I'm more or less stating how I'd prefer one to be configured. :D

agreed. a sunroof-less e82 would be hot, if not impossable to get

I saw a convertable this weekend - it's pretty damn small looking, looks even smaller than an E30 convertable somehow..

i know the coupe's interior is about the same size as a e36 coupe
