EVERY JOURNEY IS A MOVING EXPERIENCE.
The most important prerequisite for an exhilarating drive is superior roadholding. This is why the lightweight chassis has been perfectly matched to the engine. For an even sportier drive, the BMW i Convertible is also optionally available with a -speed sport automatic transmission with double clutch, enabling gearshifts without any interruption of power, for signicantly faster acceleration. The way all the systems have been coordinated with each other is something you will feel immediately in the precision of the optional Active Steering available for the six-cylinder models, the sporty handling, the very stiff body and above all the direct road feedback. So there is nothing to distract you from your driving enjoyment.
When starting a journey in the BMW Series Convertible, you can be sure of one thing: all passengers are perfectly safe. Thanks to its innovative body design and retractable hardtop, the convertible provides a level of stability comparable to that of a saloon. In addition, driver and front passenger air bags, head/thorax airbags and an extremely efcient rollover bar protection system are tted as standard the latter ensures that the two protective bars behind the headrests are deployed within a fraction of a second in the event of a rollover.
WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY, THE BMW SERIES CONVERTIBLE IS A SALOON.
AESTHETICS THAT OPEN NEW HORIZONS.
Genuinely good automobile design is not just pleasing to the eye. It also gives you an indication of the vehicles character. The design of the BMW Series Convertible speaks of the urge to move forward, as indicated in the long bonnet and the deliberately low shoulder line which ends in a low-slung rear. All proportions combine to create the perfect symbiosis of dynamism and elegance. Whether you prefer to have your hardtop up or down the BMW Series Convertible will present you with a well-balanced, timeless and beautiful silhouette.
JOY APPEARS IN A NEW LIGHT.
How to turn seeing and being seen into a real joy: the headlight design of the BMW Series Convertible is just as impressive as that of the taillights. The Xenon Headlights feature optional LED elements, while the taillights include LED elements as standard. Four brilliant white light rings lend the daytime running lights an unmistakeable look, making the BMW Series Convertible stand out against the competition. www.bmw.com/seriesconvertible/ledlightdesign

based on the design. To do this, the computer subdivides the vehicle into tiny triangles, or polygons, placing over the design a virtual grid which describes the cars geometry. In this virtual world, designers and engineers can view the future automobile and can move around in it. In the so-called CAVE (Cave Automated Virtual Environment) the observer, sitting on 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 car. A radio signal provided by special D glasses tells the computers what the person is currently looking at, and a data glove enables them to operate the cars controls. This allows verication of the cockpits layout and ergonomics. The software is so clever that it even displays light reections in the cars windows and the quality of the materials. In this way, the 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 automobile. It is no substitute for creativity, experience and intuition. Even today, every automobile design begins with a sketch still the quickest way to visualise 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 simplied 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 three: in the so-called CAVE (below) the driver feels as though they were actually sitting in a car and driving through a landscape. In this way, the cockpit ergonomics for example can be tested.
EXPERIENCE TOMORROW, TODAY.
To create the perfect automobile, BMW designers and engineers do much of their work in a computer-generated virtual reality. This enables early design verication, shortening development cycles and saving resources. The future automobile can be viewed from any perspective. You can zoom in and out, and turn the car in any direction. You can open the doors, or look under the bonnet. You can even get in and take a seat. But this automobile, 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. They feel as real as reality, even though they are only a simulation. Virtual Reality (VR) is the watchword of todays 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 Centre work on a single digital model which they optimise on screen. 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 D model is generated

The projection screen (top) shows, with millimetre precision, what the future automobile will look like. Details can be enlarged to any desired magnication.
THE PERFECT AMBIENCE TO CLEAR YOUR HEAD.
Navigation has never been so easy. In conjunction with one of the optional navigation systems, the BMW Series Convertible comes with iDrive. This handles for example the control of all entertainment and communication functions and sets new standards in operating comfort. Its a level of comfort that applies to everything in this cockpit, which is all about ergonomic design and intuitive operation. You can also choose from various optional BMW ConnectedDrive* functions, such as the Internet access available from BMW, or the handy USB audio port. Regardless which of the exclusive equipment options you select, you will nd that every detail in the BMW Series Convertible is a source of joy. www.bmw.com/ConnectedDrive

Interior

In the BMW Series Convertible, you benet from a very exclusive environment, wherever you go. The vehicle interior is dened by quality materials and superior workmanship. And you can choose from a wide variety of special equipment. If you enjoy fast corners, for example, the optional sport seats will provide you with optimum lateral support.
Sport seats only available in conjunction with optional upholstery.
DEFINED BY HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS. CREATED FOR DISCERNING DRIVERS.
THE CONVERTIBLE SEASON HAS DAYS.
To ensure that you can enjoy the advantages of the BMW Series Convertible all year round, it comes with a retractable hardtop which opens and closes fully automatically, either via a switch in the centre console, via remote control, or in conjunction with the comfort access system. Thanks to the design of the roof, water is intelligently routed away and the luggage compartment remains dry even when opening a wet roof. Especially convenient: the comfort loading and unloading function, accessible via remote control, freezes the roof at a dened halfway position. This is a great help when accessing the boot to stow or remove larger luggage items while the top is down. The hardtop system is a pioneer in terms of weight and torsional stiffness, and thanks to the generous side and rear windows, it also offers excellent all-round visibility when closed. It complements the slender silhouette and owing lines of the car to perfection, and lends it its elegant character and low side prole. The hardtops opulent roof liner and excellent noise insulation are additional highlights. With its retractable hardtop, the BMW Series Convertible is good to go whatever the season. www.bmw.com/seriesconvertible/rht

Optimum Shift Indicator. Shifting gears at the right time is one of the easiest and most effective ways to save fuel. This is where the Optimum Shift Indicator used in conjunction with the -speed manual gearbox comes in. It shows the driver which gear to change to in order to save fuel. Electric Power Steering. Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering systems, Electric Power Steering only draws power during actual steering movements. When the steering wheel position is constant, the electric motor is inactive. Brake Energy Regeneration. Brake Energy Regeneration means that the alternator normally only generates electricity when the driver takes his foot off the accelerator or brakes making productive use of excess kinetic energy to feed the battery.
Some BMW EfcientDynamics features are equipment-dependent and not available for all model variants. Your BMW partner will be pleased to advise you of the relevant equipment details.
Vision becomes reality: The BMW Vision EfcientDynamics underscores the position of BMW as the worlds leading manufacturer of exceptionally sporty yet incomparably efcient vehicles. The BMW Vision EfcientDynamics technology showcase vehicle features an advanced full-hybrid system with a system output of kW ( hp). A three-cylinder turbo diesel ( kW, Nm torque) as well as a hybrid synchronous motor on the front axle ( Nm) and a full-hybrid drive system on the rear axle ( Nm) give the vehicle a range of up to kilometres. BMW will offer a production model based on this vehicle concept, enabling drivers to experience this unique combination of dynamic ability and fuel efciency on the road. www.bmw.com/EfcientDynamics
-speed sport automatic transmission with double clutch. This transmission enables lightning-fast gearshifts without any interruption of power. In automatic mode, it provides considerable fuel savings by selecting the ideal gear for each situation with speed and precision (optionally available for the BMW i Convertible).
EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND JOY. SEVERAL THOUSAND TIMES PER MINUTE.

Active Steering. Every bend is different. That is why the Active Steering system, available as an option for the six-cylinder models, adjusts both steering ratio and steering force as a function of road speed. At low speeds for example when parking two turns of the steering wheel are enough to go from lock to lock. At higher speeds, the steering wheel must be turned further to achieve the same effect, enhancing stability.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). Highly sensitive sensors track vehicle status on a permanent, practically real-time basis and optimise directional stability and traction as required, via engine and brake management interventions. This makes it easier to control the vehicle in poor conditions, enhancing both safety and driving pleasure.
Lightweight chassis. The almost perfect : front-rear weight distribution ensures that the BMW Series Convertible stays safely on track, with neutral steering, high directional stability and superb traction. Together, all these systems ensure a level of dynamic performance that offers a very intense driving experience. In addition, the aluminium doublejoint trailing-arm front axle increases dynamic ability, while ensuring superb ride comfort.
Rollover protection system. The rollover protection system tucked away behind the rear seat backs ensures the necessary headroom in the event of a crash. Highly accurate sensors react to any violation of dened limits for parameters such as vehicle angle, longitudinal and lateral acceleration or loss of ground contact. In such a situation, the rollover bars are deployed from behind the rear headrests within fractions of a second.
Airbags. In a BMW, all safety features complement each other perfectly. Four airbags offer specic protection: the driver and front passenger airbags and head/thorax airbags for the front seats. They greatly decrease the risk of injuries to the head, pelvic and chest areas.
Occupant cell. The body uses high-strength materials and an optimised structural design to ensure a maximum of passive safety in the event of a front, side or tail-end collision. Thanks to dened deformation zones, the body structure can absorb impact forces, helping to protect the occupants.
