That is so true. Well said sir.JamieZ4C said:It really is down to personal taste and what you want to get out of it.
As a lover of BMWs and convertibles, the roadster caught my attention from the off... but never peaked it enough to make it an ambition to own one some day. Then I saw a coupe in the flesh for the first time and I fell in love there and then. To me it was sexiest BMW I'd ever seen and still is. I had to wait 11 years to own one. But I did it, I made it happen and I'm delighted I did.
For me, the essence of owning any car like a Z4 is because it tugs on your heart strings. It should put a smile on your face every time you drive it. Every time you park it up and walk away you should find the urge to look back and admire it completely irresistible.
Have a look at both. Take both for a drive and decide which one you WANT. Then buy it. You'll be so glad you did

Yes, that is probably the best solution - now if only I had somewhere other than the living room to store a hardtop during the summer!
So true. Mine is currently pride of place in the bedroom while I figure out how to reconfigure my shed and buy a stand or hook.......
Being a newbie I am barely qualified to comment of course but here is my take......its my impression that most drivers in general gravitate towards one genre or the other....personally I have never owned a soft top or wanted one but have driven and been driven in many....ok , you are in the open air etc but being a long time motorcyclist of some 48 years my open air kicks have always come from 2 wheels and remain so...for me, fast car road work requires protection, stiffness and subdued external noise. When I have an open air 4 wheel experience its with my sister in her Porsche Boxster or Morgan Plus 8 but am happy to return to the cosy, protective confines of a hardtop....especially on track days!
Addition....
Two icons.....the two wheeler my October 1980 BMW R80G/S ...my third BMW motorcycle and second BMW car ....my first was a nice full specced metallic black 123d MSport ....I return to the fold knowing I have made the right decision again!

I loved my old E30 convertible, almost had one instead of the Coupe, but silly money now on a good one. We'll done sir!! I miss my E30s..had one of all models.NickDE said:

I’ve been looking for an upgrade grade to my c2 vts and decided on a z4.
The thing is convertible or coupe?
An advise, pros ‘n’ cons on which to get would be great!
Only you can answer that question.... I love the look of coups, but couldn't stretch my budget enough, So I bought a roadster and don't regret it at all!
Maybe I'll get a coupé next time!!
