BMW's 3-series cabrio caught



This is BMW's next 3-series convertible, caught undergoing final testing in Munich. The German manufacturer is putting the finishing touches to the model, an important notch in the range in terms of sales, particularly in the United States.

The model spied by our photographers is in turbocharged 335i guise, with twin rear exhausts. The first car from Munich to have a folding hardtop, the new model reflects the 3-series coupé's switch to more conservative, less 'flame-surfaced' styling.

Expect an official launch before the end of this year, with sales due to start in the spring of 2007.

Re: BMW's 3-series cabrio caught

Yeah, this will probably be the best looking cabrio BMW has ever made. It looks great already with the roof down, and with the roof up, it looks like a coupe

It probably is safe to say the cabrio will have the same headlights and backlights as the coupe???? Eni?

Re: BMW's 3-series cabrio caught

So...this is the folding metal roof version? Looks alright - bit awkward with all the windows up, but I'm sure it'd look better with it's windows down.

I get the feeling though, it would look better without such a long rear overhang.
