Talked to some people and they said the convertibles are noisy and problematic. Anybody have any knowledge of this



The only thing I am worrying about with a black preowned M3 is the paint......the black paint on my CL looks like ass

if you're having trouble taking care of NHB the BMW black will be just as bad.

My top pic is Red w/ red inside and the stock 19s.

Then white w/ red always cool!

I've seen this a few times LSB drop top w/ a blue top matched the LSB very nice and had blue inside. Was very different and awesome. Also seen this color combo w/ the dark/cinnamon inside very classy!

SMG is very cool. I would get a 6spd though. But if you live in an area where you dont really need the m6(high traffic) the SMG is a close second.

I got Silver Gray Met/red int, SG replaced the darker Steel Gray. Silver Gray is nice and fairly conservative, its about as close to the concept silver M3 as you're going to get from the factory.

Really wanted Techno Violet, but custom color orders weren't being accepted at the time.

No big deal though, saved me a few bucks and the red interior is killer (which I would not have chosen with TV).
