Rated 3 out of 5

the CAR road test team, 16 May 2008 17:00

BMW 335i Convertible long-term test video – 16 October. Watch our new video of the editor’s BMW 335i Convertible – with Phil McNamara talking us through the highs and lows of his year in BM’s first folding metal-roof cabrio.  Is the latest twin-turbo six a good choice? Is it worth spending £41,000 on a petrol-fed 3-series convertible? Shouldn’t you save ...

BMW M3 Convertible M-DCT driven CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Chris Chilton, 01 May 2008 10:05

The BMW M3 Convertible is not a Footballers’ Wives kind of car. The convertible M3 might be heavier and bendier than the coupe but, along with that glorious V8, this  car also hasa surprise up its sleeve in the form of BMW’s new double-clutch semi-auto gearbox. Other M3s will be offered this transmission in time, but our first opportunity to try it ...

BMW 120i SE Convertible driven CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 25 April 2008 10:16

Remember when the BMW 3-series convertible had a fabric roof? It wasn’t always an upmarket folding tin-top. So a gap’s opened up beneath it. A gap that’s a perfect fit for a smart and decently engineered rag-top that’s just about big enough to squeeze your kids in the back. Enter the BMW 1-series Convertible. Hang on. £25k? Sounds a bit ...

BMW 125i Convertible CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 29 January 2008 12:53

BMW teased us with the 1-series concept back in 2002. Remember the CS1, a stubby two-door drop-top, with flame surfacing fanning the flames of controversy? The BMW firewall, roasted by a million e-mails calling for Chris Bangle’s head, certainly does. It’s perhaps no coincidence that BMW has taken six years – six years! – to put that iteration into production. ...

BMW 335i Convertible CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

That can’t be a coupe-cabrio! Where’s the huge backside, the stupid wedgy profile and enormously overlong windscreen? It certainly is a CC - BMW’s first ever in fact – although you’re right, it doesn’t look anywhere near as frumpy as a Peugeot 307 CC or Focus CC. How has BMW managed that? The steel top folds into three sections (two ...

BMW M6 Convertible CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 25 September 2006 00:01

What's this, an even more expensive BMW M6? It certainly is. At £86,400 the convertible costs nearly £5k more than the regular M6 coupe. Yes, it’s a premium price, but BMW has done the sums and knows there is a customer base, typically 45-year-old males doing rather well for themselves. The UK’s 2006 allocation of 80 cars has already sold ...

BMW Z4 M Roadster CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 20 July 2006 16:41

So, Munich's TVR is back? That's right, but this one's a bit more sophisticated than the Z3-based version from the late 1990s. It's got the current M3's multi-award-winning straight six and no trace of the old M roadster's ancient semi-trailing arm rear suspension. Not much to look at, is it? It's certainly more discreet than the old M whose bulging ...
