Coupe vs Roadster

If BMW hadn't made the M coupe then I'd never have bought a Z4. They look entirely different cars to me.
I love a sports car that has a nice flowing roof line down to the rear.

Same as the above post. I lusted after it for 9 years until I got mine.

But to answer - 78 Kg when I had the roadster, but now I have a coupe it has crept up to 81 ...

Ah is that the quip about another car on the drive the other night when we we're having a bit of fun? I did consider asking if you had bought something. Any pics?

^ S2000 with the spoon(?) hard-top I think looks really good. But imo the s2k just should have been made a coupe. It just should have.

roadster looks better in the non m versions, the coupe looks better in the m? discuss.....but all look good and are ageing timelessly

I am at this very juncture!!!

First was a black E89 2.5si which started the whole love affair and also my first ever convertible car. That has gone and now I am with a Silver 2008 2.0i, lovely but too slow.

I am now going the whole hog and getting a low mileage Z4M Roadster this weekend. I have only seen a few Coupes and think they look nice but I can never live without a convertible. So, what do do.... what to do....?

I have secured a hardtop for my 2.0i which I will be keeping for the Z4M, getting it stripped and painted Imola Red like the roadster I am picking up.

Any ideas.....?

Please don't mention the E89s....

Aaaahhh If only

I would do that in a hearbeat.

Its going to be the Roadster I'm afraid. I need to actually enjoy the car and I am not looking to track it even though I have seen the Roadster on the Nurburgring (YouTube) and it looked awesome!
