The BMW 2-Series Convertible: driving pleasure, open to the sky


When BMW launched the BMW 2-Series Convertible, it raised the bar in the premium compact class in terms of dynamic prowess, aesthetic appeal and emotional richness. And the new generation of the two models promises to build on this success when it is launched in July 2017. Rear-wheel drive (unique in the segment) and efficient drive systems link up to provide unbeatable sports performance, excellent ride comfort shares centre stage with razor-sharp dynamics, and emotional depth is combined with an air of elegance.

Making its debut alongside the Coupe is the new BMW 2-Series Convertible, which has identical dimensions. Short overhangs, a long bonnet, a set-back passenger compartment, a long wheelbase and a wide track produce the classical proportions of a BMW convertible. The electrically operated fabric soft-top slips down into the body to create a boat-deck look and offers excellent acoustic comfort when closed thanks to additional insulation. Plus, it can be opened while on the move – at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph).

The BMW 2-Series Convertible enjoy success around the world

Since 2014 BMW has delivered more than 140,000 units of the 2-Series Coupe and 2-Series Convertible (as at the end of February 2017) to customers around the world. The 2-Series Convertible – launched in 2015 – has notched up roughly 48,000 sales. One in three cars (2-Series Coupe: 32 per cent, 2-Series Convertible: 33 per cent) are delivered to customers in the USA, making it the single largest market for the two 2-Series models.

Next up for the 2-Series Coupe are Great Britain (18 per cent) and Germany (12 per cent), while Germany (27 per cent) and Great Britain (13 per cent) are the most popular destinations for the 2-Series Convertible after the US. The cars are produced at BMW Plant Leipzig.

Interior and equipment

A completely redesigned instrument panel with an even more pronounced driver-focused layout, plus new materials that lend further substance to the upmarket and exclusive character of the BMW 2-Series Coupe and BMW 2-Series Convertible ensure the new model generation can be clearly distinguished from its predecessor inside as well as out.

Engines, powertrain, chassis

An extensive line-up of three-, four- and six-cylinder engines is available for the BMW 2-Series Convertible, producing outputs from 100 kW/136 hp to 250 kW/340 hp (fuel consumption combined: 8.3 – 3.8 l/100 km [34.0 – 74.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 189 – 101 g/km). All the petrol and diesel engines are from the latest BMW EfficientDynamics engine family and feature BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. In addition to a basic concept that is inherently more efficient, all the diesel engines feature new turbocharger technology and enhanced common-rail direct injection systems.
