Hm... correction in 3 things.

1. I wouldn't call +3,000lbs a "light". I call "light" is a car that's less than 2,800lbs. If that's the case, 3 series count in this.
2. since '98? No, think more. 3 series made cheap, light, RWD, 4 cylinder non roadster.
*316: '98~'05
*318: '98~'07
3. Lastly, you think Mx5 was only roadster, but outside of US, they made coupe since '98, so it'll add to the cheap, light, RWD, 4 cylinder nn roadster.
