BMW Launches New BMW 1 Convertible


October 2, 2008: BMW has launched its BMW 1 Series Convertible, the fourth model in its series. The vehicle features an electro hydraulic operated soft top that closes within 22 seconds and can accelerate from 1 to 100km/h in 5.6 seconds. The convertible also includes BMW's Efficient Dynamics system in all engine models.

The 128i Convertible, which joins the new 1 Series Coupe going on sale in the spring of 2008, will be powered by BMW's 3.0-liter, 230 horsepower inline six-cylinder engine generating 200 lb-ft of torque. Like its fixed-roof stablemate, the 128i Convertible will feature Valvetronic valvetrain management and aluminum/magnesium cylinder block construction-core elements of BMW's EfficientDynamics.

The standard softtop is available in either black or taupe cloth, but it is the optional Moonlight Black version which is unique to the 1 Series Convertible. Interwoven with fine shiny metallic fibers, this distinctive top produces a shimmery metallic silver appearance in sunlight. The visual effect enhances the convertible's exciting range of nine colors which includes an exclusive hue: Cashmere Silver Metallic.
