Hey guys. I saw this while I was out and thought Id take a few pics.

Looks awkward with all those lines/cracks. My .02..

I wanted one until I saw there was no trunk space with the roof down (and I mean NO SPACE) so I ordered an M Roadster instead. Surprisingly, I can fit my golf bag and a suitcase in the roadster and not in the new 3 vert. IMHO, the new 3 vert is a bad design on BMW'S part, it just doesn't make any sense. They should have kept the soft top as an option.

:iagree:

Anyone know why BMW decided on a hardtop convertible instead of a soft top?

I see them all over in So Cal, the roof crease looks wierd to me

yah agreed!!! plus the shark fin on the trunk looks REALLY odd to me!!!!

What shark fin on the trunk? I don't see it...

Not all have it. I guess it comes with Nav.

Demand from consumers showed that they wanted hardtop. BMW made a light weight hardtop as compared to competition so as not to compromise performance.

I don't think the creases look that bad. You can't have no creases+hardtop+BMW performance and handling+room in trunk. Compromises: rather have creases for lightweight hardtop and not compromise handling.

Have you driven one with hardtop?

Yes I have, drove one at the Ultimate Drive. Inside looked okay, outside the difference in appearance was obvious.

Its the fad right now i suppose. :rolleyes:
I can't fathom a car with a solid roof, but i prefer a big moonroof...

I like it, my parents have on on order,328 not 335

Saw one, top down the other day on the roads. Alpine white isn't really good on it IMO.

The couple of HD/verts that I've seen at the dealer looks fine to me, but all the seams are quite noticeable. If I were to buy one, I'd definitely get a dark color to hide all the lines.

The local dealer has a Montego Blue 335i vert in the showroom. It had the worst paint job I've seen in recent years on a new Bimmer. The entire car, both top and sides, is covered with major orange peel, so bad you can feel it with your finger tips. The car needed to go back to BMW VDC to get color sanded.

that top doesn't look right to me. it seems like it's trying to resemble the coupe but of course it can't match the flowing lines of the coupe. then making it look like the coupe just dissapoints me more...

...but looks great topless :D

its rated the best hardtop in its class, thats probably why bmw made them in such.

what r u talking about GUYZ?

BMW needs a Hardtop and this car is more than great!!!

and the roof itelf is great!

we need something like that from BMW!!

and I hope to see a hartop version of 6 Series and Z4 :D

man if bmw releases a hardtop z4 im all there :D

Its coming with next gen Z4/Z6.
