The BMW 1 Series Convertible marks a return to smaller BMW convertibles as the 3 Series gets ever larger. Unlike it’s bigger brother it has a fabric folding roof which maximises the luggage space and gives the car attractive proportions. Quality, equipment and performance are as you would expect from BMW. The original two engine options for the launch model have increased to include a base model 118 and range topping 135, while a diesel is expected in the future. The 135 promises M-Sport-like performance with a 0-62mph time of just 5.6 seconds.
