SEIZE THE DAY.
AND NIGHT.
Joy is best served al fresco. That’s where the 2011 BMW 3 Series Convertible shines, unencumbered by a
roof overhead. Its styling, a modern expression of classic BMW design, makes hearts beat faster. Note the
longer hood, new side skirts and low shoulder line, all flowing into a tail section that accentuates the horizontal.
Even when the sun is low on the horizon, you still cut a dazzling figure, courtesy of new LED-powered Corona
headlight-rings. If ever there was a car that radiates the free spirit of the convertible, you’ve found it.

Joy is thirsty for fun, not fuel. In BMW’s EfficientDynamics philosophy, planet-friendly fuel efficiency and low emissions coexist with world-class
performance. Our award-winning engines achieve impressive power through intelligent fuel-distribution technologies. High Precision direct fuel
injection in our TwinPower Turbo engines, and Valvetronic adaptive engine “breathing” are just two examples. All this power is efficiently transmitted
to the wheels through either a standard 6-speed manual, a 6-speed STEPTRONIC automatic, or an innovative new 7-speed sport automatic Double
Clutch Transmission. Drive smart.

WITH AMUSEMENT LIKE THIS
YOU’LL NEVER WANT TO PARK.
Joy wants to play. The BMW 3 Series Convertible offers roadcholding 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 confidence, 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.
For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Equipment charts
section at the back of this brochure.

Joy doesn’t compromise. The powerful engine, fade-resistant brakes and agile handling that make driving
fun 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. With BMW Assist,™ response specialists offer professional assistance around the clock.
Our Convertible is built for driving Joy. Rest assured advanced safety technology is built in, too.

TIMELESS BEAUTY
THAT’S ALWAYS IN SEASON.
Joy beautifies the winter, summer, spring and fall. Top-down or top-up, the 3 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 flows down to the rear deck, creating its own form of dynamic sculpture.
Visit your BMW authorized center to conduct your own top-down — and top-up — design review.

A GALAXY OF FRESH
LIGHTING IDEAS.
Joy is brilliant. Consider the new lighting for the 2011 3 Series Convertible.
At the front, circling the daylight-bright Xenon headlights are four Corona
headlight-rings, now 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 fixture is illuminated
with a daring LED “string” array; above, a new light trim bar gives the
3 Series Convertible a focused look. Moving to the rear, new 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
BMW 3 Series Convertible will own the night.

The projection screen (top) shows, with minute precision, what a future vehicle will
look like. Details can be enlarged to any desired magnification.
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 verification, 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
and Innovation Center work on a single digital model that they optimize
onscreen. This protects the environment, lowers costs and shortens
the development cycle.
In addition, VR enables the early assessment of design alternatives.
Each design can be visually represented, evaluated and compared.
A 3-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 3-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 verification of the
cockpit’s layout and ergonomics. The software is so clever that it displays
light reflections in the vehicle’s windows, and even shows the quality
of the materials. In this way, designers can enjoy their first “test drive”
before the first 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 simplified and accelerated much in the design
process. But for a final 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 3-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.

Joy stays in touch. While you’re enjoying the scenery, finding out where
you are and where you're going is just a flick of the iDrive Controller
away. Included with the on-board Navigation system, this intuitive
fingertip interface gives you command over a world of information,
including navigation, comfort and entertainment settings. iDrive also
connects you to friends and associates via a mobile phone interface.
Want to add music to your beautiful day? iDrive makes it a joy to access
and play music in Harman Kardon® Surround Sound — off a CD, from
your iPod® with a USB adapter, or via SIRIUS/XM Satellite Radio. Six
programmable buttons let you store your favorite radio stations, phone
numbers and more. The Mylnfo feature is included when you combine
iDrive and BMW Assist,™ letting you send business addresses and
phone numbers directly to your vehicle from your computer. You can
then access driving directions and even initiate phone calls. BMW
Assist also offers Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside
Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Recovery, Door Unlock and more. So no
matter where your 3 Series Convertible takes you, you’re never alone.
For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Equipment charts
section at the back of this brochure.

Joy delights to the touch. When that touch happens to be on a hot, sunny
day with your top down, you'll feel the comfort of cooler seats. Thanks to
innovative Sun-Reflective Technology, the Dakota Leather-upholstered
seats stay up to 20% cooler in direct sunlight than conventional leather.
If you think that’s cool, add the Sport Package and enjoy 10-way power
front sport seats with adjustable side bolsters and thigh support to hold
you and your passenger firmly in place while cornering. All the while,
you're surrounded by quality materials, crafted with skill and care. All
controls are designed and precisely positioned for intuitive ergonomics,
so you concentrate on the road ahead, not knobs below. Come, sit,
buckle up and wrap your fingers around the leather-wrapped sport
steering wheel. In an instant you'll know you're about to experience
something special: the Joy of The Ultimate Driving Machine®

THE CONVERTIBLE SEASON IS NOW
LIMITED: JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31.
Joy is always good to go. The 3 Series Convertible is a year-round performer, thanks to a power retractable hardtop that raises and lowers in just
22 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 | 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 flex 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 3 Series Convertible is now in season. Take a closer look at your BMW center. Rain or shine.

Active Steering.
The Active Steering system adjusts
both steering ratio and steering
force in relation to driving speed.
At low to medium speeds, a small
turn of the steering wheel translates
into a big turn of the front wheels.
You enjoy more agility in city driving,
quicker turns on twisting roads, and
easier parking maneuvers. At higher
speeds, a larger turn of the steering
wheel is needed to turn the front
wheels, resulting in greater straightline stability.
Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC).
DSC helps to stabilize the 3 Series
Convertible in just milliseconds
when it senses an impending skid.
Whenever the system senses overor understeer, it modulates engine
power and can apply brakes
individually to each wheel to help
keep the vehicle under control
and going in the intended direction.
For sportier driving or in deep snow,
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)
allows increased wheelslip.

IF THE 3 SERIES CONVERTIBLE IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT,
WHAT'S INSIDE IS POSITIVELY STUNNING.
Lightweight chassis.
Lightweight construction is
used throughout the 3 Series
Convertible. In the front section,
for example, aluminum is used
extensively for suspension components and in the steering rack.
This enhances the Convertible’s
agile performance while ensuring
superb ride comfort. BMW’s sixcylinder TwinPower Turbo engines
are all aluminum, and the naturally
aspirated inline six is an aluminum/
magnesium composite — the
lightest in its class.
a bmwusa.com/safety
Rollover Protection System.
The 3 Series Convertible is built
with a reinforced windshield frame
and A-pillars, as well as a sturdy
retractable hardtop. It also includes
BMW’s Rollover Protection System,
where highly accurate sensors
continually monitor vehicle angle,
longitudinal and lateral acceleration,
and amount of ground contact.
When data indicates a rollover is
imminent, rollover bars integrated
behind the rear-seat headrests are
deployed. Within fractions of a
second they spring up and lock
into place, helping to withstand
rollover forces.
Airbags.
In the event of a collision, BMW’s
supplemental restraint system
(SRS) determines which of six
airbags to deploy for optimal
protection. This includes front
airbags with advanced technology
for driver and front passenger;
front-seat-mounted side-impact
airbags; and BMW’s Head Protection
System (HPS), which is designed
to help protect passengers in both
front and rear compartments.
Note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative
purposes only. Depending upon the type of
accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy.
Occupant cell.
An extremely rigid steel “safety
cage” surrounds the occupant
compartment, with deformable
crush tubes front and rear. In a
severe crash, impact energy is
routed around the passenger
cabin and absorbed by the safety
cage. In a severe side impact,
a reinforcing bar hooks the door
to the body, locking them together
to make a more rigid passenger
cell. When the pressure is released,
the system is designed to snap
back so that the doors can open.

Accent lights.
With the LED light elements, the
two headlights also include a matte
light strip near the top. As in the
BMW 7 Series, this is lit by LEDs,
creating an “eyebrow” effect in the
dark. This lends the BMW face a
more distinctive look.
Corona headlight-rings.
The light rings surrounding the
headlights of the new 3 Series
Convertible create the familiar
BMW face. The rings are used
as Daytime Running Lights. With
the LED elements, the rings emit
an arresting white light sometimes
referred to as “Angel Eyes.”

ATTRACTING
AT TENTION.
Lighting innovations, including Adaptive Headlights, LED
technology and Dynamic Brake Lights, help drivers see and
be seen. This advanced lighting technology at both front
and rear also creates a striking BMW nighttime signature.
Glowing L-shape light rods.
The taillights of the new 3 Series
Convertible feature the typical
BMW L-shape. Two LED light strips
extend from the car’s side all the
way into the trunk lid. Even with
the lights switched off, they remain
visible, exuding a subtle glow. In this
way, the new 3 Series Convertible
can always be recognized as a
BMW, even from behind.
Dynamic Brakelights.
To warn vehicles following behind,
the brake lights of the new 3 Series
Convertible become brighter when
the car is braking hard within the
ABS control range.
Adaptive Headlights.
The headlights’ dynamic swiveling
technology ensures that they
always follow the layout of the road
ahead. Cornering Lights integrated
in the main headlights illuminate
tight corners and hairpin turns.
Compared to conventional, fixed
headlights, drivers can see up to
90 percent more in corners.

Serious performance spoken here. Elegance under the sun.

exterior mirrors are power-adjustable,
with a fold-in function; the passengerside mirror folds down to reveal the
curb when in reverse gear.
i 6-speed manual transmission
delivers a precise, athletic feel. Its
responsiveness is due, in part, to the
enhanced synchronization of shifts from
neutral to each gear. A shortened shift
lever and “throw” add to the sporty
feel of the gearbox. The sixth gear
drops revs at highway speeds for
smooth cruising.
@ Engine Start/Stop button* and

M@ Rain sensor uses infrared light to
measure the amount of falling rain and
spray from other vehicles. When the
wipers are in the “intermittent” mode,
the rain sensor automatically adjusts
the windshield wiping interval as
needed. Automatic headlight
control activates headlights by means
of a sensor that responds to darkness.

bumper approaches a stationary object,
turning into a constant tone when the
distance is less than 12 inches.

passenger to store and then easily
access any functions of the Navigation
system; the audio system — including
specific radio stations or CD tracks;
and the Bluetooth® enabled mobile
phone (if so equipped).
O Active Cruise Control (ACC)
with Stop & Go’ allows the driver
to preset both a desired speed and
distance. When ACC recognizes slower
vehicles ahead, it reduces your speed
to maintain the preset distance. Stop
& Go can bring you to a complete stop
if traffic calls for it. When you press the
accelerator, ACC resumes your speed
according to your presets.
QO Navigation system features a high-resolution, glare-free monitor. Using

and an Assistance Window. In many areas, it also provides Real Time Traffic

We constantly monitor your BMW’s needs - so you don’t have to.
Tackling mountain switchbacks, the last thing you should be thinking about is
the state of your brake pads. Thanks to BMW’s integrated on-board diagnostics
system, you will always know exactly when the next service is due, and what
work will be required.
Condition-Based Service (CBS) measures the condition of key parts that are
subject to wear and tear. It also tracks fluid levels and monitors your BMW’s
time- and mileage-dependent service requirements. Using this data, the Info
Display in the cockpit automatically alerts you in advance whenever any part of
your vehicle will require servicing. You can also use the optional iDrive Control
Display to find out which components will need to be serviced, and when.
When combined with TeleService — the innovative telematics service included
with the optional BMW Assist™ Safety Plan’ — the CBS-collected data is automatically transmitted to your BMW center, which then contacts you to set up a
service appointment. And because they use only Original BMW Parts, you
can rely on expert fit and long-lasting BMW quality.

LOOKED AFTER BY THE BEST.

generations. That is why BMW makes vehicles that minimize adverse environmental
impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste minimization at the plant)
through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability of all fluidrelated components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices).
This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have
received numerous environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental
Protection Agency accepted BMW’s Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing
facility as a charter member of the agency's National Environmental Performance Track.
Internationally, BMW AG - the parent company of both BMW of North America and
BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC — was the first automotive company to be
represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the
Index ever since. At BMW, we strive for high performance in everything we do.
