Must admit after owning a hard top e46 and soft top e36........I quite enjoy having the soft top, it's really not a compromise at all!!

Best of both worlds. Although only worth it if you'll have the top down enough. Aslong as there was no precipation I had the roof down on my 330.

Soft top.

Coupe will be the more out nd out racer. But it's hardly like the vert struggles. Not much chassis flex or nasty wobbles like the E36 mind
