Thanks Simon.

I found a few on the web.

What a car!

Does anyone on the forum have the pleasure of owning a convertible?

The one I own is my dream, but for a stable mate a B10 BiTurbo would go down nicely, the E34 Chassis is sublime
Alpina B6S Convertible
BMW E46 M3 SMG Coupe - Track Car - Gone
TVR Chimaera 400 - Turbocharged - Gone
Porsche Cayenne GTS 4.8, Oops, the dark side has landed!
BMW E34 Racing Dynamics K38 - Gone
Alpina B3S Convertible - Gone due to B6S
BMW X5 4.6is - Gone
Alpina Roadster 3.4S - Gone
BMW E46 330d M Sport Touring - Gone
BMW M3 Evo E36 - Gone due to B3S
BMW 840 Ci Sport - Gone, but what a car
BMW M3 E30 - sadly departed

Too little time...Too many cars!

B6 3.5S

Used to own a mint condition B8 4.6 i restored to new condition and sold, regret that, it was a great car but the interior was cheap as all E36 and the headgasket problem i had to fix.

Too many........ I wouldn't say no to any really, however I do find B12 5.7 coupé rather special and the Z1 RLE

Oh and the E39 B10 V8S, to match my E46 B3S.

And the new XD3 & B5S

Ok I'm officially rubbish at this....

One I'd like to try, is an E38 Alpina with the 4.8 engine from the v8s and a manual trans

So all of the E38 comfort and luxury with the manic quad cam v8

It might turn out to be terrible, but I'd like to have a go, if anyone fancies building me one?!

This would sit alongside the B12 I am current custodian for
1998 B12 5.7 ekat
1972 3.0 CSL
2002 B10 V8S Touring (sold)
1981 635CSi (sold)
