Want to buy!

What's he like - the Coupe looks fantastic! :wub: And it's no more of a hatchback than his GT6. :lol:

Whereas the Roadster is just a pram top - like you were probably pushed around in during your formative years. :rofl:

I never looked glum in my Coupe this summer with Climate Control on - much cooler look than the beetroot features of Roadster users getting melted in this year's summer. :poke: :lol:

yep +1 to that. StuPot look what you've started now!

You asked about how often roadster owners drop the top - well its two camps (no not the roadster and coupe ones). Roadster ownership falls into two sub groups daily drivers and weekend cars. Daily drivers I suggest (and of which I am one) buy a roadster for the top down motoring so will tend to drop the top in any dry weather at any time of day. 'Weekend' owners I suggest will also drop the top when ever they use it - but this is weather dependent so if it rains the Zed doesn't get used.

So all in all roadsters are driven quite a lot with the top down unless the roof motor is dead (an easy and cheap fix offered by a number of forum members) - roadsters you see with the top up are probably driven by people who are not forum members and have been quotes £1K+ by BMW for a fix compared to around £100 from a forum member - or their wife /GF wont let them.

Don't know where your based but if its in Norfolk message me and you can ride out and see what the roadsters like - sure other members would help you out if you post a rough location.
 
There has to be something wrong with driving with the top down, the heater on and the heated seat working on full power. There has to be. Is it that the driver is determined to drive this thing, no matter what, because they bought it and nothing else matters and they don't care what you say.... Oh s**t it's now snowing, but I don't care. What are you looking at? Do you think that I am cool, well I'm f*****g freezing, but I still don't care. I can still smile through my chattering teeth. 'Don't you shake your head at me, Tosser'.

Coupe lover. :D

Oh dear oh dear, how will you ever know what goes through a roadster owners head, when your stuck in the hatchback version. Its like when you ride a motorbike, you feel more alive, more in tune with nature. The smells and feel of the wind in your hair (steady mrT) the sun on you, it's just bliss really. I know you can put the ac on in your Capri hatchbacks, so can I in my van or Fiesta. Driving a rag top is special :thumbsup:

I recall the days when I rode my 650 BSA through the Scottish Borders between 1800 and 2100 on a summer evening, before safety helmets were legal. Wind and flies in your hair, bluebottles smacking your teeth trying to stop you grinning at the fun you were having, a million midges meeting their end on my leather jacket. Is a Roadster like that? :o

I wouldn't take the mick out of your hatchback, honest :wink:
Pity as it should be a good meet up
 
Welcome.

I got my roadster as I personally don't like the shape of the coupe as much.

As long as it's not raining I drive with top down unless its very cold. I like the fresh air feel.

It's been a weekend car so I'm lucky I have car to use whens it's wets.

The hardtop roadsters would be my pick... a nice 35si. 😀
