Your new car for summer: the BMW 2 Series Convertible
The BMW 2 Series convertible is the successor to the world’s most popular open-top premium model in this vehicle class with more than 130,000 units sold.
The BMW 2 Series convertible’s exterior was designed independently and developed in parallel with BMW 2 Series coupe, sporting hallmark BMW convertible features and clear visual differentiation from the compact models of the BMW 1 Series. The exterior design features elegantly stretched lines and powerfully sculpted rear wheel arches pointing up rear-wheel-drive configuration. BMW targeted personalisation through a variety of model variants: Advantage, Luxury Line, Sport Line and M Sport, each with specific exterior and interior design as well as equipment features.
The interior features the signature BMW Convertible “boat deck” look thanks to harmoniously flowing shoulderline and soft-top compartment, along with a driver-focused cockpit; high-quality materials and finish with model-specific accents: centre console with high-gloss black surfaces around radio and climate controls, chrome surrounds for air vents and exclusively designed climate control display with white readouts on a black background.
The new BMW 2 Series offers BMW EfficientDynamics technology as standard: Air Curtains as well as Auto Start Stop function in conjunction with both manual and automatic gearbox; ECO PRO mode activated via standard-fitted Driving Experience Control switch, including coasting function in conjunction with automatic transmission and including Proactive Driving Assistant if Navigation system Professional is specified.
The new BMW 2 Series Convertible is scheduled to go on sale in South Africa in the first quarter of 2015. Pricing and other detailed specifications will be confirmed closer to launch date.
