The new BMW is a beautiful car. When I bought my 99 9-3 Conv. I didn't consider the BMW Conv because of the plastic rear window but now on the newer 3 it is glass and the car is much tighter looking. Plus I like the inline 6 engine - a good non turbo alternative to a Saab.
The good thing about BMW is you have a lot of choices for interior trims, colors, and a whole host of options, Xenon lights, etc. Saab is much more limited with choices for colors and equipment BUT many of the optional things on a BMW are standard on a Saab (power top and leather, for example). Other things offered by BMW you just can't get from Saab (Xenon lights, GPS). But if there is a downside of the BMW is that it is ala carte but at ala carte prices - a fully loaded one is mucho bucs. Second downside when I weighed in again with them this year to shop for a new convertible is the dealers. Their attitude, at least in my area, is very snooty. They didn't seem to want to sell a car so I promptly selected another Saab last month and haven't looked back. Honestly, I am very happy with Saab, it is a cleverly designed car that is unique - it isn't trying to pretend and there certainly is not one at every stop light.
