Driving Pleasure

Convertibles are made for the sun.

This one is for the billions of other stars too.

The night just gained another attraction.

Put the city lights in the shade.

The new BMW 1 Series Convertible. Frugal on

fuel. Generous on dispensing adrenalin.

The beauty of this convertible is seen

afresh each and every morning.

Its not the comfort of your back that determines how

long you sit in this car. Its your sun protection factor.

Only features that enhance driving pleasure are admitted: the electric roof
provides effective insulation of the cabin against noise and can even
be opened while driving up to a speed of 40 km/h. The roof is optionally
available in Anthracite with a unique silver effect: fibres woven into it
lend it a metallic shimmer in the light for a dazzling presence. Your
preferred personal climate is catered for by the optional automatic air
conditioning with special convertible mode and separate temperature

settings for the driver and front-seat passenger. At night or in poor visibility,
the optional Xenon headlights illuminate the road ahead noticeably
better. They include daytime driving lights as well as four parking light
rings and automatic headlight range control. Only available in conjunction
with Xenon headlights is the special option of adaptive headlights
with integrated turning lights. These illuminate each curve as soon as
the driver turns into it.

And to ensure that you are free of draughts while driving with the top
down, a wind deflector protects you from any turbulence in the shoulder
and neck area. USB stick and MP3 player can be connected via the
optionally available USB/audio interface, which comes with a practical
multimedia pocket for your MP3 player in conjunction with the optional
front armrest. The rear lights each comprise three individual highperformance LED light rods that accentuate the sporty aspect of

the rear end. The cars dynamic appearance is also underlined by the
optionally available BMW light-alloy wheels star spoke 262 with mixed
tyres, 7 J x 17" with 205/50 R 17 tyres at the front, 7.5 J x 17" with
225/45 R 17 tyres at the rear. As an option you can order the throughloading aperture from the luggage compartment to the rear, including
transport bag. This enables you to transport, for example, your snowboard
or skis conveniently and safely.
