Nice cars! That's a boss setup to have in HK

I spent time in a friend's Superleggera and I no doubt I would DD that instead of a Z4 if I had the funds.

I do want a convertible. I am not sure about the ragtop either, but many people say they are 'better than they used to be'. I am not sure if they are really more or less secure than a hardtop in case of a roll over.

I'd look for roll hoops bolted to the frame. Folding hardtop isn't offering much (any?) protection.

For me, it's not about the protection. I think they look like ass when the top is up.
