IMHO it looks better in the metal then in photos - there was a 335 and 325 at the Melb Motorshow....and I thought they looked better with the roof down. But I'm not a great judge, as I'm not a convertible person.

You should probably head down to your dealer and have a look in person. You might be pleasantly surprised. They should start appearing at dealerships soon. I'm sure BMW were talking April deliveries.

i agree, i hated the look of the folding hard top. It doesn't look like a perfect coupe when its up. The Volvo have perfected both the cabrio look and the coupe look in there C70.

The Volvo C70 is actually a good looking car - pity it's a front wheel drive really.

I saw it in the flesh at the Brisbane motor show and it looks great and IMO, better than the photo's. Don't forget, a lot more enginerring effort has to go into a metal folding roof and I'm sure even then some compromises have to be made for function over form.

i saw it in the flesh at the melbourne motor show and it looks all right - better than the photos

i think i might stick with the hard top tho - as i'm not really a convertible person...but now as all the companies are making hard top verts, it's making the switch tempting
