BMW M3/M4 cabrio
Legendary. That is quite an appropriate term for the BMW M3 and M4. A pure funauto that already from the first generation with klapdak to order. We convert all the convertible-generations of the M3/M4 even at a glance. How is it grown?

It all started in 1986 with the E30 M3 cabrio. A fast open-dakker that many a Porsche it would be difficult to make. A playful car that easily cross. In 1994, he was succeeded by the E36 M3. That was a lot heavier and more sophisticated, had 286 hp but missed out on the playfulness. In 2001, the revolution with the E46. My personal favorite and with 343 hp out of a six-in-line again to be a strong and snaarstrak. The E93 cabrio, which in 2008 saw the light of day, was especially more expensive, heavier and faster. But was it also fun? That should you decide, at least it was the only M3 with a V8. Its successor, the M4 has a six-in-line, is lighter and more fuel-efficient but provides on the other hand traditionally better performance. Where would it ever stop?
