[M3.18cabrio]

i going to get me a E36 M3 soon, but i cant decide which one cabrio or coupe??

Coupe. Getting a cabrio is like cutting it's nuts off. You may as well get an auto.

I wouldn't go that far, but. My dad brought home a Porsche 968 cabrio and I didn't think I would like it. Convertible is a blast in the summer. However, they are usually heavier, have less chassis rigitity (which I have un-nervingly felt a few times while cornering at high speeds), louder... Its up to you bro. For me its like this: Coupe for performance, Cabrio for style/fun. (I bought a coupe).

the Coupe has a much stiffer body
I think he's more sport driving related

better handling - the coupe,
faster - the coupe, it's lighter than the cabrio
cheaper to fix in the future - the coupe, you don't want to deal with cabrio's, you get wind noise, water leaks etc, etc.......

Ditto...............and don't even bother getting a hard top for the Cabrio (we still know)

The insurance says the E36 M3 cabrio is going to be a old timer..

And the coupe is't ???? (strange)

But i prefer the coupe big time...

When I get my E36 M3 this coming summer...I'm going for the coupe for a couple of reasons....
1) Looks.
2) Less noise and no leaks.
3) I'm not a chick.
4) So I can put a cage in it.
5) I live in NH....it would be pointless to get a cabrio.
6) Cuz I've wanted one for about 6 years.

You should print out this page, put it away for 3 months, get the cabrio, then after the 3 months look at this page and say. . .damn it. . . I wish I had just have gotten the ^#$#&@ coupe!

Go for the coupe for all of the above reasons, but most importantly, you can fit the rear window DTM decal
with no problems!
