    I have a VW Eos hardtop convertible & I know the feeling. It may not be a BMW but driving w/ the top down really does make you feel like a million bucks. And it is a fact that it is a stress reliever cause it sure does reduces my stress levels whenever I drive w/ the top down. Kudos on the video, bro! I love your channel #TEAMCONVERTIBLES 🚙💙🚙

    My 2013 328i HT convertible only has 65,140 miles on the odo, that is just broken in for a BMW, yet it books for private sale at about $12k, that is a steal for a a car with pretty much perfect original interior. 7years ago new it was about $56,000 and I thought it was worth every penny then. You are really right about the soothing feel of just getting in the car with top down and heading out to drive for a while, cheaper than a therapist, more evective than drugs, safer than alcohol. By the way your paint choice is actually growing on me.

    I have a pearl white on red 2013 335is E93 with M sport package. I added KW coil overs and fatter tires on the stock 19s, a Hamman black trunk spoiler and M3 OEM mirrors. I got a chip to give me an extra 70 horses and let me tell you it zooms. I get lots of looks and compliments on this car. It's mostly OEM but subtle upgrades to my liking. I found it in Florida with 27k miles and had to get it to the OC. Great videos and very informative. Love my E93.

    Couldn't agree more about cruising with the top down. Its like a therapy for me. I have a pituitary tumour which plays havoc with my hormones and my mood. I can wake up crying then into hysterical laughter sometimes I can spend the whole day going between depressed then happy but driving my bmw with the roof down(I have 2 verts A 2004 e46 325i m and 08 e93 320i m)
    Takes away all my anxiety and gives me a rush of feelgood hormones that can keep me happy all day! I can feel the serotonin and dopamine being released around my body when I'm crusing on a warm summer night with top down. Not many things can beat the feeling. I'll always own at least 1 convertible car through life. For me personally it's not raining/thunder storms or freezing temps then I will drive with the roof down day or night.

  • @timmyjimmytoo
    @timmyjimmytoo 4 роки тому +4

    Just a thought,
    As I was watching your video, and you got to Craigslist and the cost of one of these.... It dawned on me how inexpensive these are in Florida!
    I am thinking two reasons,
    1) Lots of them in Florida, so the market is flooded.
    2) Because lots of people own them, and the weather is so nice, they get lots of miles quickly.
    I live in Washington state, and to drive a convertible here is a 3-4 month proposition.
    So, not as many available, and lower miles... So, maybe you should look for one in Washington state and pay a little more for less miles, and less maintenance and enjoy a wonderful road trip to sunny Florida!

    • @baazbana
      @baazbana 4 роки тому

      That’s exactly my mindset. I’m kinda in the market for one now and it’s just better to get with low miles and fully enjoy. I wanted a Jeep to to the same thing with big tires but Jeep wranglers with low miles 4 doors are hella expensive.

  • @beauglenn2204
    @beauglenn2204 3 роки тому +5

    What I have noticed with these convertibles is that you shouldn't run the cars aggressive with the top down! I do own one and it's a great car! I do all my own maintenance and very few can outrun this car! Just make sure you don't run aggressive at all with top down! There is too much weight in the rear of car because all that hardware is in the trunk and throws the center of gravity off as well as just basically overloading the rear suspension! You will need to replace rear suspension if you hit any bumps dips or r.r. tracks at a rate other than slow........with the top down! Good luck be safe and have fun! These cars are truly amazing......fun to drive and so incredibly fast for a 5000lb car!

    Get leatherique rejuvinator oil and prestine clean. Its a process but well worth it. You apply oil and let it soak over night. next day apply the cleaner. If you want to go another step do the cleaner before and after the oil and buff out with a microfiber. I got it out of lemon colored leather in my e82, should be ok

    Actually the best of both worlds, in my opinion, is the E92 Coupe with a sunroof. Because when I open my sunroof and lower the windows, it's just like I'm in a convertible, without losing all the structural integrity of the convertibles. Yes, yes, yes. Driving with the roof open and the windows down does make your drive sooooooo much nicer and it does relieve stress. And my rear seats fold down for SUV like space to transport bigger things. But still a great vid as always. Hope you get those tire marks out of the rear seats. Lesson learned.
