BMW 3-Series Convertible 2011

BMW has revealed their enhancements to the 2011 BMW 3-Series Convertible, including outstanding style updates for 328i and 335i models and a latest engine for 335i models. The 3-Series Convertible will go on sale in Spring 2010, and pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date.

All-new is the engine for the 335i model. Series Convertible is internally designated the “N55,” this turbocharged, all-aluminum engine features essentially the same “short block” and 3.0-liter displacement of its predecessor, but benefits from five additional years worth of development and refinement.

The result is an engine that is more responsive, more fuel efficient, and cleaner-running than its outstanding predecessor, but preserves the previous engine’s output and soul: 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, and a 7,000 rpm redline. The 6-speed manual gearbox – beloved by North American enthusiast drivers – remains standard, and the well-known 6-speed Steptronic automatic is optional, now featuring “pull-style” shift paddles on the multifunction steering wheel.
