New BMW 1 Series Convertible

 

 

2008 BMW 1 Series convertibles 19th May, 2008

  • First compact BMW convertible for more than 30 years.
  • Range encompasses 120i, 125i and 135i models.
  • SunReflective technology fitted as standard to leather upholstery.
  • Unique ‘silver-effect’ roof fabric.
  • Electric roof may be operated while driving at road speeds of up to 40 km/h.

The new BMW 1 Series Convertible is the first compact drop-top from BMW in three decades.

The range spans the 2.0-litre 115 kW 120i Convertible to the 135i twin turbo straight six 135i Convertible, and includes the 3.0-litre straight six-cylinder 125i model, meaning there is a 1 Series Convertible available to suit varying tastes in this growing market segment which is presently 'owned' by the outstanding Peugeot 307 CC and the superb Volkswagen Eos.

One key feature of the 1 Series Convertible is that all cars come as standard with Boston Leather upholstery incorporating BMW’s innovative SunReflective leather technology. This helps to lower the surface temperature of the upholstery on a hot day by up to 20 degrees centigrade compared with a normally upholstered leather seat.

The New BMW 1 Series Convertible is on sale now with deliveries from the 39-strong BMW Dealer network commencing later this week.

The range is priced from $52,900 for the 120i six-speed manual, from $63,400 for the 125i six-speed manual and $78,400 for the 135i six-speed manual. Prices do not include dealer delivery and statutory costs. A six-speed automatic transmission complete with steering wheel mounted paddle shifts (on six-cylinder models) is available as an option at extra cost.
