1 stiffer
2 greenhouse
3 one less thing to squeak, break, etc.
4 vents only maybe

5 but i dont like it for wind noise distraction too as well as i dont want to "feel" like i am driving faster than i am... convertibles and open sunroofs always make me drive slower because wind makes it feel faster.


6 ozone hole is already above tierra del fuego (well not that i took any car when i was there or that i expect any M car to last 50 yrs before the hole is over us) :))


There were 3 main reasons I got it without the roof:

1) it is useless as it only vents, not opens up

2) there is no cover for it, so I did not want to bake (even though I DO have hair!)

3) and most important - it is much stiffer without the roof, so would be even better for racing
