Knight, I had a 99 Imola Red, and am eagerly awaiting the newer iteration of the M Roadster.
The little car was SO nimble and well sorted; and its lateral transition / turn-in was lightning. The car's slighter mass did a great job of accentuating the torque of the 3.2 and those brakes.
One evening on a twisty road up to a local ski resort (Whistler) I snapped the wheel to do a quick lane change. The car got over so fast, my girlfriend and I just looked at each other, wide-eyed.
Whenever I shoehorned myself into my MZ3, I felt like I was throwing around a beautiful little slot car.
You could tell the car would be even tighter with a hardtop, but I hear what ME has to say about Big Brother and can confirm that an open-top BMW roadster of any ilk pays very little structurally for its looks / fun.
