335i Convertible Video

[Garnet Canuck]

Ya know, I wasn't the biggest fan of the 335i in terms of styling when I first saw it. I guess it has really grown on me lately because now I really like it.

Anyways, here's a vid from Motor Trend on the Convertible version. Looks very nice!!

I'm kinda the same in regards to the Coupe and stuff.. I was not a big fan, but then I saw the Widebody 335i and thinking about the next M3 .... starting to become a fan :-)

Heh, I wasn't even a fan until I saw it in person. In the pics I first saw it looked too long, too big, kind of bland... then I saw it in person. <3

The vert is nice, with the top up it's a little funny looking, I saw one at the Toronto Auto Show; I'm not sure what it is, something with the c-pillar. Looks great with the top down though.

Yeah I'd prefer the Coupe anyday. I would not buy a Vert unless I lived in California or Florida or somewhere thats always warm/sunny

I've still yet to see one in person Kevin, so all I can go by is pictures. Maybe yours will be the first one I see when we are in QC!

The retractable hardtop on this goes down in no time!

Ya, they were demo'ing it at the show, it's like 20 seconds down then up, pretty cool. I've always been biased against verts though, 400lbs of extra weight freaks me out.

By the time you see my car it'll hardly look like a regular 335i :P

hmmm. that sucks. i'm guessing 10k over coupe. guess i'll just have to wait. thanks for the info.

[Picus]

Well, if it makes you feel any better UK pricing has been released and it's 2,100 pounds more than the coupe, which is about ~$3500 USD or $4500 CAD; BMW has stuck pretty tightly to the e46 pricing structure, so I'd be surprised if base is more than $6k CAD over the coupe.
