Not a true 'sports car' as in 2 seats, but how about a 135i convertible. Go drive a 135i and try not to spend the next 3 weeks looking on autotrader for one!

135i Coupe yes, manly car. 135i convertible  :pomppomp: :pomppomp:

Sorry no way!

I understand the appeal of a good engine, but to be fair, I never really get why people buy performance cabs, if it had a roof it would probs be a better drivers car, don't get me wrong, I love cabs, although you do look a tool, I have an mk1 mx5, i only use it to go for a drive, summers evening roof off, chills me out. On topic I agree not many 6 cylinder cabs, z4 for me from your list, loads for 15k

Golden rule - never buy anything that wasn't purpose designed to have no roof.

2 cars the same built in different ways, so mute point. Normal production methods are in no way the same as carbon tubs etc..

But no, I'd not say no!
