E36 - Coupe vs Convertible

Recommended Posts

So a question to those that have driven both (non M3), How do they compare handling wise?

I realize the convertible is not going to be as taught as the coupe chassis but are the differences big enough to spoil driving the convertible version?

Also, pros/cons regarding the convertible are welcomed.

Cheers

The coupe has a roof. The vert only sometimes :D

In a non-M3 cab you're going to notice the extra weight I'm sure. Depending how hard you want to chuck it through the corners, etc you're going to be sacrificing a bit of performance. The car was originally designed to be a hardtop and has been adapted to become a convertible.

E: In saying all that, I'd still have one :D

Yeah you make some good points there.

I was wondering can you get these Merc like fixed roll bars at the back for them?
