Sup RCF,
I rarely do this but when I have in the past it's worked out pretty well..
Okay, so now that I've moved to California I've noticed that everyone and their mother drives a BMW. It's pretty strange; but rather than turning me off from the car, I've grown to appreciate it a great deal more -- and now I'm thinking of buying one myself.
In Hawaii, I drove a Mustang convertible. Great car, would recommend to anyone. I wanted a Camaro convertible but at the time it was a bit out of my price range.
Now I'm trying to decide between a BMW M3 hard-top convertible, a 650i soft-top convertible, or possibly something similar, like an M4 hard-top convertible (IIRC, M4's have retractable hardtops). The common thread here is that it must be a convertible.
I'm no BMW expert, and hence the question as I know they are popular cars and there should surely be plenty of folks here who can help me make a smart decision.
Just for a bit of additional info: if I get the M3, I'd likely add an aftermarket exhaust to make it run quieter (yes, quieter) as I'm past the days of wanting a loud, roaring sports car -- but I do love a car that performs well.
The Mustang GT, for me, was an all-around great driving car for all conditions. The soft-top did become an issue when someone tried to break into my car; but other than that, the weather in Hawaii never ever gets cold, unlike SoCal. I also plan on driving back to Ohio every now and then, hence the desire for a hard-top.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated...
