As an E93 owner, I love the hard top, and was my primary reason for getting it! The reason for this is, no one can really "slash" your top since it isn't made out of cloth, and additionally, you're much warmer in the winter. While I agree the lines don't flow like the coupe, it doesn't look too bad. I love the look of it top down
and once I get a few cosmetic mods....it'll look much better.
Like most have said, technology ftw...even ferrari has a hard top now!
