Hi,

I am considering to get either a 5 series or 3 series cabriolet( still considering the options). I'm looking at less than 3yrs old car(03 to 05) If you are selling, please email me the specs and your asking price.

Also, I would like to seek opnions from fellow forummers here who drives a cabriolet. Can you share with me your opinion on getting this car. What to look out for or what the common complains are? Water Seepage from the canvass, is it true? Also, any idea when the latest model will be launched?

Thanks.

Re: Wanted:5 series/3 series cabriolet

The cabrio squeaks sometimes. cos of the hinges in the hood frame. But i never notice it anymore. ANd there's always the ICE. haha...last time when i was lookin i used to find that previous owners dun really look after their car so well. they had very shoddy interior, the push-open compartments were all scratched up, suspension gone liao..it's really an eyesore. SHow's how much care the previous owner took. Then there's the hood. And impregnator solution. Tho some ppl seem to say that it doesn't help. I personally find that it does. Rain water just beads up and rolls off the canvas.

SOme ppl also seem to think that super low mileage cars are the best. But fact is, it may really be underused. BMWs are built to run well over 200,000km. And the singapore avg is 25,000km/ year.

N cos cabrios r normally 2nd cars, they tend to be very low in mileage.

Nehows, cabriolets retain their body values very well.Even a 10 yr+ e36 cabrio with COE extended can go for $74+K. Prob high COE too.As iconic as the e36 was, the popularity of the pre-FL e46 seems to dictate it will be so as well. Considering how well the 3 series sells all over the world.As such, it seems like the e46 will be around for a long long time.

I heard the new one will be launched 1.5yrs after the e90. that means next yr sept lor.right? anyone with better inside info?

New Cabs will be launched pending sales of the E46 Cabs. Its anywhere from 4th quarter of this year to the 1st quarter of next year. Word direct from friends in Germany.

Initially wanted the 325 cab too but was told only coming end yr or early next......

Re: Wanted:5 series/3 series cabriolet

presumably you are referring to 6 series cab, don't think they ever make a 5 series cab. I am also looking for one, they do hold their value quite well.

Maybe he means either a 5 series sedan or else a 3 series cabrio.
