I did a car survey a few months ago.

An interesting question was

"Do you consider a vehicle with a hard top a convertible?"

also

"Do you consider all convertibles to be only soft tops?"

Not sure why they asked but something is up.

The E46 is my favorite vert. Never liked the E93 vert, especially with the top up. Down it looks ok.

One thing for sure, when they fail, I would want a cloth top since it can be closed manually.

I think all the rubber seals used to seal the hardtop roof will fail just like door seals and leaks will prevail. As long as you are leasing an E93, I would not worry about it though. I don't see it as a long term keeper.
