The BMW 3 Series is an executive cabriolet.   The Original is known for its good handling and great looks but what about its topless counterpart. 

One of the first changes you will notice with the new 3 series convertible is that the roof has been changed.   BMW have now opted for folding metal roof as opposed to the old canvass.  The roof is well integrated into the rest of the car.  You can’t tell it’s a convertible from the front.  The only clear differentiating markers are a flat and curvier rear screen and unique tail lights.    The designers have done well to avoid a bulbous rear end that so many cabriolets suffer.    

Convertibles are notorious for their handling, however the BMW is different.  It feels taut, has good body control and can compete with any of its rivals.  It is great through the corners and there’s no undue vibrations around the A pillars.  

There are a range of different engine sizes, all of which are quite impressive.  If you after that little bit extra, then you should go for the 3.0-litre six cylinder unit.  Available as both a petrol and diesel option with either automatic or manual gearboxes.  The gearboxes are smooth and go quite well with the car.    All offer great fuel economy too. 
There are some downsides though.  As with a lot of convertibles, the boot size is limited due to roof storage.  BMW however, have managed to make this car a full 4 seater and the roof can rise up at the press of a button to increase access space to the boot.  The prices are quite high compared to some of its rival;   the base model costs £30,000 but does come will a generous helping of equipment.  

This car is full BMW innovation such as special seats which reflect the suns heat.  This means that even if you leave the roof down in the baking sun all day, they won’t be scorching hot when you return. 

All in all, a good motor: BMW reliability and branding combined with performance and fuel saving technology.   This car is certainly not a red herring. 

BMW have been chosen to be the official automotive partners to the London 2012 Olympics.   Due to the success of BMWs efficiency dynamics programme and its ability to reduce CO2 emissions.  The London committee of the Olympic and Paralympics games (LOOG) has decided to choose BMW as its sustainability partner.    This means that BMW will provide official fleet vehicles to the Games.   It will produce around 4000 cars and motorbikes for the purpose of transporting athletes and officials around the Games. 

Former British Olympic athlete  and chairman of the LOCOG Sebastian Coe said “The size of BMW as a global brand, coupled with its presence and investment in the UK, meant that it was a natural fit.”.  He continued “operationally an automotive deal is vital for organising committee.  So I am thrilled BMW is on board.  They share our vision to stage sustainable games in 2012”.  

BMW has beat stiff completion to get the deal.  The LOCOG committee set tough emission targets for the games.  They suggested a maximum average of 120g CO2/KM.   To which BMW surpassed.  BMW will provide a range of vehicles including hybrid cars, motorcycles, bikes and conventional cars.  

BMW are happy to be part of the games.  Ian Robertson, member of the board of directors said: “Sportiness is the core of our identity and the core of the BMW brand.  As the world’s most sustainable car manufacturer, we promote and support the idea of sustainable Games.

Most of the fleet will be based in London, however some will be in places such as the famous Old Trafford stadium, home to Manchester United.
