Entry-level cabrio with slim canvas top

Here are more pictures of the BMW 1-series Cabrio. We snapped it testing close to the firm’s new test-centre in northern Sweden. BMW-enthusiasts can look forward to the summer of 2007 when the small topless BMW will come to dealers – for relatively small cash. Different from its bigger brother, the future 3-series Coupé-Cabrio (CC), the open One will come with a conventional canvas top. The two different roof-systems will also distance the two cars price-wise, especially since the 3 series CC will make a jump upwards and hence will make room for this new cabrio based on the 1-series. Main characteristics of the new soft-top will be the flat windscreen and the low and coupé-like canvas roof. The boot promises to be big enough to carry all luggage for at least two passengers. As said, we expect the car to go on sale in 2007 – and to make the 1-series yet more popular, especially since neither Mercedes nor Audi will have a competing model ready by then. Power will come from the same range of engines as known from the five-door 1-series, and we expect diesel engines to be available, too.

The front end is too chunky They should have designed it to look like a mini 6 series.
