Fascinating innovations are also to be found within the engine bay, the new 3 Series Convertible for the first time featuring newly developed six-and four- cylinder power units with direct gasoline injection. The top model in the range is the BMW 335i Convertible, with a Twin Turbo straight-six power unit developing maximum output of 225 kW/ 306 hp. And when launched in Europe on 24 March 2007, BMW’s new open four-seater will also come in the guise of the BMW 330d Convertible featuring a 3.0-litre straight- six- diesel engine with an all-aluminium crankcase and the latest generation of common-rail fuel injection.
Even at high speeds, the new roof structure ensures an incomparable standard of smoothness and silence inside the car. And the extremely stiff body with supreme torsional stiffness provides ideal conditions for superior agility and dynamism on the road. In terms of flexural stiffness, the new BMW 3 Series Convertible offers the highest standard ever achieved by an open-air BMW. Harmonious weight distribution and the sophisticated chassis and suspension further enhance the sporting characteristics of this unique car.
