It had to be a convertible for me. I always wanted one, and now was my chance. I agree the hardtop convertible looks better, and they do have an optional hard top, so I might buy one by next winter.
Mod? Of course I'm going to mod! First, I have a few repairs to take care of, including an insanely oxidated rear window, leather seats in less-than-perfect condition and a blown convertible-top motor. After all that, she's going to get a nice set of BMW rims (I want the 17"s), tint, projector headlights (the real deal glass ones), LED tails, lowering springs on the front end, and probably a CarPC. That's just what's on my list for now. I'm sure I'll come up with ideas as I go. Feel free to throw your ideas at me. Performance mods are a big no no with this car, because for one it's a BMW engine, and if I break something by modding it, BIG $$$ to fix. For two, this car is insanely fast already and I have no need to make it faster.
Thanks for all the compliments. The specifics:

I frickin' love this car. It's so much fun to drive and man, there's just nothing like dropping the top on a hot day, bumping up the tunes and just cruzin'. Worth every penny. :D
