E46 coupe or vert?

[Fury RS]

Hello peeps, will shortly be in the position to buy an M3 E46, was only interested in a tin top originally but have recently been browsing on line at verts. I have never owned a vert of any sort before. I understand a vert will be heavier and flex a little more under hard driving etc.
Would just be interested to hear some of you folks experiences of either or both models if possible to maybe help me in my decision of which to go for...

Thanks

If it's a convertible, buy it NOW! They'll be dirt cheap at this time of year. To be honest they're more hassle than their worth. Especially after this summer. I would go for a coupe. That's just my opinion though. Can't beat a nice convertible on a nice summers! day. But you'll find you'll have the roof up most of the time. Couple that with the traits that come with a canvas top i.e scuttle shake, increased wind noise, security and hood care and the coupe looks like a better everyday bet.

coupe - too much scuttle shake on a convert.
