Diagrams. • Compact and extremely agile convertible in the BMW 1
Series; genuine four-seater with electrohydraulically operated soft
top; first premium convertible in the compact segment; first open-air,
compact BMW in the USA. • Consistent expansion of the BMW 1
Series: The BMW 1 Series Convertible follows in the footsteps of the
five-door, the three-door and the BMW 1 Series Coupé as the
fourth model variant in the series. Offering features characteristic of
BMW in a new dimension, the BMW 1 Series Convertible marks the
authentic entry into the world of BMW Convertibles. • Youthful,
elegant design with all the features of BMW Convertible: slender
silhouette, muscular wheel arches, strikingly powerful shoulder line.
The low waistline and the big distance between the driver/front
passenger and the windscreen ensure a unique experience of open-air
driving pleasure in a BMW Convertible. • Soft top opens and
closes within 22 seconds. The roof may also be opened at speeds of up
to 50 km/h, that is nearly always in city traffic. Optional, exclusive
and absolutely unique roof variant in Anthracite with sewn-in gloss
seams providing an interchanging silver effect in sunlight. •
Clear, generous interior design, high-quality trim and upholstery with a
wide range of colours and materials; highly variable use ensured by
optional through-loading including transport bag. Unique capacity in
the luggage compartment and at the rear for a car in this segment,
accommodating, say, two golf bags or two snowboards also when the roof
is open. • Wide range of leather upholstery and interior trim
with Sun Reflective Technology reducing temperatures on the surface
caused by bright sunshine. Automatic air conditioning with the special
Convertible mode exclusive to BMW. • Unique driving pleasure
provided by rear-wheel drive and powerful engines: four gasoline
engines (105 kW/143 hp-225 kW/306 hp), one four-cylinder turbodiesel
(130 kW/177 hp) with particulates filter featured as standard. •
BMW EfficientDynamics on all engine variants; Brake Energy Regeneration
featured specifically as appropriate on each model, Auto Start Stop,
gearshift point indicator, Electric Power Steering (EPS), on-demand
control of ancillaries and active aerodynamics reducing fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions. • Wide range of safety
features all fitted as standard: airbags, belt latch tensioners, belt
force limiters, rollover protection with rollbars moving up
automatically behind the rear-seat headrests; crash-optimised front seat
backrests and headrests reducing the risk of injury in a collision;
extremely stiff and robust body structure. • Wide range of audio,
communication and navigation options quite unique in the compact
segment, AUX-in and optional USB and Bluetooth interfaces featured as
standard for simple connection/full integration of an Apple iPod and
other MP3 players or Memory Sticks, controlled via BMW iDrive, eight
favourite buttons for individual use by the driver. • Elaborate
chassis and suspension with rear-wheel drive; aluminium double-joint
tiebar axle at the front; five-arm rear axle in lightweight steel
structure; Dynamic Stability Control including Dynamic Traction Control;
energy-saving electrical power steering with Servotronic; Active
Steering exclusive to BMW as an optional extra; traction-optimised by
electronically controlled locking function on the differential in the
DSC-off mode on the BMW 135i Convertible. • Top-of-the-range BMW
135i Convertible with modified M Aerodynamics Package and M Sports
Suspension from the M Sports Package featured as standard equipment.
