The second world début at the 2014 Paris Motor Show is the all-new BMW 2 Series Convertible. The second addition
to the 2 Series family, or third if you count the 2 Series Active Tourer, the 2
Series Cabriolet joins the coupe in the new, refined, premium compact line-up.
The new BMW 2 Series
convertible has some big shoes to fill: The predecessor sold worldwide more than 130,000 units
and was the most successful car in its segment.
With an overall
length of 4.43 meters, the 2 Series Convertible dominates its predecessor by
7.2 centimetres, while being 2.6 centimetres wider. BMW also promises more
space for all occupants and has the boot volume increased by 30 litres to a
total of 335 litres. With the roof open, there are 280 litres available, 20 litres
more than the “old” BMW 1 Series Convertible E88.
Especially for people who occasionally want
to transport bulky things with the roof closed, the increased load-through-flap
in the back seat offers a significant value. For example, the new 2 Series
Convertible allows the transport of two snowboards or two 46-inch golf bags.
The exterior design
of the BMW 2 Series Convertible displays the typical characteristics of an
open-top four-seater from the Bavarian brand. The BMW 2 Series Convertible
combines a low-slung silhouette and dynamically stretched lines with compact
proportions and powerfully contoured surfaces.
All-around modern engines with more power and
lower fuel consumption are used that in the BMW 2 Series Convertible. Besides a
manual six-speed gearbox available for all F23 variants, the eight-speed ZF
automatic transmission can be selected as well.
When it comes to
safety features and infotainment features, the new 2 Series is a step ahead of
the E88 1 Series, by offering more standard and optional equipment than ever.
In terms of driving
dynamics, the 2 Series Convertible offers an adaptive suspension that can be
tuned to suit any driving style, from comfortable to super sporty, with a touch
of a button. A 20 percent increase in torsional rigidity will take care of the
most body roll and deliver a great driving experience.
The 2015 M235i and 228i as well as the 228i
xDrive, featuring BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system, will arrive in US
showrooms in early 2015. The 2015 M235i and 228i as well as the 228i
