1M Convertible?

What is the latest on a 1M Convertible?

Augenbrauezug · 02-05-2011, 05:29 PM

Nothing that I have seen.

Considering BMW can't seem to decide how long or how many Coupe's they'll build I'd say the decision on the Cab. is a little ways off

They'll probably make it if the 1m does well. It would be cool if it had a light weight manual top. I hope they keep it simple and light weight.

If they decide to make a 1M Cab then I hope they extend production of the Coupe as well (And offer it through Military Sales)

I'd be so in for a 1M vert. But does a lightweight ragtop mean less insulation and less ability to withstand winter conditions? That would be a tough one for me.

As somebody who lives with a cab in Syracuse...I can tell you that its totally fine.

I got the impression that juliansorl was asking for a different type of ragtop than the one currently equipped on the 1er convertibles. I'm curious what that would mean and how it would handle the cold,

Don't think it's gonna happen:

- the new model (F-model line) is coming too soon.
- vert is not "pure" (added weight etc) and not fitting the marketing around the 1M

Again, like the people who want DCT, or a moonroof, or 15 colors to choose from: if you need vert, go 135i or 335i.

^some people like a fast vert. Deal with it and dont patronize the people that do.

that being said it more than likely wont happen with the E88. Almost defiantly with the F2X tho.

+1

Doesn't fit with the marketing scheme of this car, at all.

I knoooow but I want one

I can't even afford the 135i vert anyway so I don't know how a 1M vert would be of any use to me except for unrest and unruly torture.
