I love to have a soft top 5er with 4 people in the car that would be cool.

Well, there have been 4 door convertibles in the past. Anyone remember the 4 door Lincoln Continentals 1960s to 1970s. Thats my dream car... one day one day. Will post a pic sometime.

I dont think it will work on the E60 though. Its best as is, anyone notice all Bimmers are now designed to look like a 5? New 3 convertible especially.

I like my car the way it is. It makes want to puke to think of my car as an old farts car. I cringe at the thought the elderly cruising down in Palm Beach with a convertable e60.

I can't believe BMW made the 6 series a soft top. Absolutely retarded, if you ask me. I would much rather have a Mercedes SL, with the hard top convertible.

At least BMW got some sense and made the new 3 series convertible with a hard top. About damned time, guys. Welcome to the 21st century.

That's because they would flex like a jelly and have intolerable scuttle shake
Bingo! Audi does it with the A4 platform and they change the 4-door to a 2-door for the cabrio version....although, its a smaller car than the 5 - more comparible to the 3-series. Ultimately, I think BMW did it up right putting their attention into a hardtop 335 for next spring! 5ers are better off playing the role that they do now; a great looking 4-door (those two thoughts typically dont go together!!)
