The basis for every day: a long wheelbase, elongated hood and wide double kidney grille. With the roof closed, the curved, coupé-like roof lines of the BMW 3 Series Cabriolet never fail to impress. With the roof open it is the flat rear and short wind deflector that impart the unique feeling of sitting directly under an open sky. Here comes the sun: the retractable hardtop of the BMW 3 Series Cabriolet disappears in just 23 seconds. The optimally designed wind deflector leaves the driver and passenger plenty of freedom to enjoy a pure and exhilarating open-air experience. And the hardtop closes just as quickly as the weather can change. Increase driving pleasure in your BMW 3 Series Cabriolet with the 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission. This transmission changes gears with lightning speed and without any power gap. The sport leather steering wheel fits snugly in your hands to provide a firmer, sportier grip. The gearshift paddles fitted directly on the steering wheel heighten the sports driving experience while the integrated multifunction buttons can be used to operate the radio, music, or telephone. The shift lever knob and handbrake lever handle are also leather providing precise control and a comfortable grip.
