SEIZE THE DAY.
AND NIGHT.
Life is best served al fresco. That’s where the BMW Series Convertible shines, unencumbered by a roof
overhead. Its styling, a modern expression of classic BMW design, makes hearts beat faster. Note the long
hood, side skirts and low shoulder line, all owing into a tail section that accentuates the horizontal. Even when
the sun is low on the horizon, you still cut a dazzling gure, courtesy of LED-powered Corona headlight-rings.
If ever there was a car that radiates the free spirit of the convertible, you’ve found it.

TOP-DOWN EFFICIENCY – THE BETTER
TO SEE THE ENVIRONMENT YOU LOVE.
The BMW Series Convertible is thirsty for fun, not fuel. In BMW’s Effi cientDynamics philosophy, planet-friendly fuel effi ciency and low emissions
coexist with world-class performance. Our award-winning engines achieve impressive power through intelligent fuel-distribution technologies.
High Precision Direct Injection in our TwinPower Turbo engines, and Valvetronic adaptive engine “breathing” are just two examples. All this power
is effi ciently transmitted to the wheels through either a standard -speed manual, a -speed STEPTRONIC automatic, or an innovative -speed sport
automatic Double Clutch Transmission. Drive smart.

YOU’LL NEVER WANT TO PARK.
You are invited to play. The Series Convertible offers roadholding thrills
that rival a roller coaster on a summer day. Near-perfect weight distribution
front to rear provides exceptional balance. Its taut suspension inspires
cornering confi dence, blended with a ride that is smooth while providing
the road-feel required for precise driving. Active Steering makes it easier
to carve tight turns or park in tight spaces, while providing greater stability
at higher speeds. You can even add steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters
to pop off gear changes just like a racecar driver. All the while, Dynamic
Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control help you take performance
to the max without breaking the envelope. Please keep hands inside the
cockpit until car comes to a complete stop.

Active safety features and driving fun happily coexist in the BMW Series Convertible. The powerful engine,
fade-resistant brakes and agile handling that make driving a BMW so enjoyable also serve to help you avoid
potentially dangerous situations. But should an accident prove unavoidable, BMW’s array of state-of-the-art
passive safety systems stand ready to help protect you. Three-point safety belts, a telescoping steering wheel,
and steel-reinforced windshield and body help shield you from impact forces. The split second they are needed,
rollover bars deploy from behind the rear seats, and airbags cushion blows from the front and sides – and in
vehicles equipped with BMW Assist,™ response specialists are automotically notifi ed, so you enjoy professional

TIMELESS BEAUTY
THAT’S ALWAYS IN SEASON.
Beautify the winter, summer, spring and fall. Top-down or top-up, the Series Convertible expresses vitality and
movement in any weather. Beyond the long hood and raked windshield, three sporty design lines – shoulder,
character and lower sill – run the length of the body, drawing the eye swiftly back. With the hardtop closed to the
elements, its sleek shape smoothly ows down to the rear deck, creating its own form of dynamic sculpture.

A GALAXY OF FRESH
LIGHTING IDEAS.
Consider this brilliant idea: the lighting for the Series Convertible.
At the front, circling the daylight-bright Xenon headlights are four
Corona headlight-rings, powered by bright LED lights. Also used
as Daytime Running Lights, the headlight-rings’ distinctive look
announces your presence to other drivers. The far edge of each
headlight xture is illuminated with a daring LED “string” array;
above, a light trim bar gives the Series Convertible a focused
look. Moving to the rear, long-lasting LED tail- and brakelights are
arrayed in horizontal tubes that illuminate simultaneously, creating
a unique, eye-catching design with depth and dimension. And inside
the cabin, the drama of warm Ambiance interior lighting, streaming
down from under the ledge on the door and side panels, puts you and
your passengers at ease. It’s easy to see: your Series Convertible
will own the night.

In addition, VR enables the early assessment of design alternatives.
Each design can be visually represented, evaluated and compared.
A fl-D model is generated based on the design. To do this, the computer
subdivides the vehicle into tiny triangles, or polygons, placing over the
design a virtual grid that describes the vehicle’s geometry.
In this virtual world, designers and engineers can view the future vehicle
and even move around in it. In the so-called CAVE (Cave Automated
Virtual Environment), the observer, sitting in a car seat, is surrounded
by walls that have real-time moving images projected onto them. In
this way, the viewer gains the realistic impression of a cockpit with all
its switches, displays and a natural landscape surrounding the vehicle.
A radio signal provided by special fl-D glasses tells the computers
what the “driver” is currently looking at, and a data glove enables him
or her to operate the vehicle’s controls. This allows veri cation of the
cockpit’s layout and ergonomics. The software is so clever that it displays
light re扂 ections in the vehicle’s windows, and even shows the quality
of the materials. In this way, designers can enjoy their rst “test drive”
before the rst prototype is built.
Despite its amazing degree of realism, virtual reality is only one tool in
the design and development of a new vehicle. It is no substitute for
creativity, experience and intuition. Even today, every vehicle design
begins with a sketch – still the quickest way to visualize an idea. And of
course, the designer also has to be able to see and work on a full-scale
clay model, to get a sense for the feel of the design, and to be able to
develop and perfect the unmistakable character of every new BMW.
The computer has simpli ed and accelerated much in the design
process. But for a nal understanding, designers still need to be able
to touch and feel the actual design in the form of a physical model. How to turn the two dimensions of a screen display into fl-D: in the
CAVE (below), the driver feels as though he or she were actually
sitting in a car and driving through a landscape. In this way, features
and characteristics, such as cockpit ergonomics, can be tested.
EXPERIENCE
TOMORROW,
TODAY.
To create the perfect vehicle, BMW designers and engineers
do much of their work in a computer-generated virtual reality.
This enables early design verifi cation, shortening development
cycles and saving resources.
The future vehicle can be viewed from any perspective. You can zoom
in and out, and turn it in any direction. You can open the doors, or look
under the hood. You can even get in and take a seat. But this vehicle,
as convincing as it may look, is not made of metal and plastic. It consists
of data – an unimaginably huge amount of data, converted into spatial
images by high-performance computers. The images feel as real as
reality, even though they are only a simulation. Virtual Reality (VR) is the
watchword of today’s automotive engineers. In the past, it was necessary
to create several prototypes in order to test various modules. Today,
designers, developers and product engineers in the BMW Research

THE CONVERTIBLE SEASON IS NOW
LIMITED: JANUARY TO DECEMBER .
The BMW Series Convertible is a year-round performer, thanks to a power retractable hardtop that raises and lowers in just seconds via a switch
on the center console or remote control. This may give rise to a few questions – such as, “How is visibility when the top is up?” Generous side and
rear windows make it easier to see all around, while available Park Distance Control warns you of anything hidden behind your rear bumper. “What if
the top is down and I want to put things in the trunk?” A Comfort Access option partially raises the hardtop up and out of the trunk, making it easier
to stow your cargo. We’ve also heard, “Don’t convertible bodies ex more?” Not this one. Our innovative lightweight hardtop is torsionally rigid, as is
the reinforced body and windshield. Or, “What happens to water on the roof while it’s being retracted?” It’s intelligently routed away, leaving the trunk
high and dry. The Series Convertible is now in season. Rain or shine.
