• 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.

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.

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.
