m3 vert with hardtop in the snow, thoughts on hardtop for convertible
Due to some un foreseen snow in Iowa, I got to drive my m3 in the white stuff. Mind you just a light snow, but still happy to report no problems with traction at all. M3 handled it brilliantly!
Also, if you have the chance to get a hardtop for your convertible I highly highly recommend it! Completely transforms the car! Very little road noise with hardtop as compared to just the soft top. Has added interior lights. Maintains temperature better when it's cold out (winter). The hardtops are very easy to take on and off. My wife helps me out with it. I put it on in the fall, and I'll leave it on until spring. This way I can still drive the m3 when the roads are clear in the winter. With a hardtop holder from amazon that holds the hardtop vertically, it takes up minimal floor space in garage when it is off. My hardtop even has the option for a roof rack if I ever decided to do some major hauling with it. (probably not going to happen)
The hard top also completely changes the profile of the vert. I actually prefer the vert with hardtop profile over the standard coupe (might just be me since i own one)
Just my 2 cents on winter driving with m3 and whether the hard top is worth it or not
Cheers!
