YOU,THEROAD,THESKY.ONE.

From the sporty front air dam to the chrome-plated exhaust tips, this is one vehicle that easily attracts attention. A strong shoulder line, long hood, muscular wheel housings and short overhangs announce its proud performance heritage. This is further emphasized on the 135i by its Aerodynamic kit,1 complete with rear apron and black chrome-plated exhaust tips. Whatever adventure you have in mind, the BMW 1 Series Convertible makes it happen – in style.

In just 22 seconds, its fully automatic softtop folds and stows. However, the unique, Moonlight Black

The 1 Series Convertible shines at night. The dramatic Corona headlight-rings that function as both parking lights and Daytime Running Lights1 are pure BMW. They circle the Xenon Adaptive Headlights, which illuminate the street ahead and to the side with daytime-like clarity, and swivel to show what’s around the corner as you turn.2 Flick the turn signal left or right, and Cornering Lights ood a large swath of ground in that direction, revealing previously unseen obstacles and pedestrians.2 And when sensors detect fading ambient light, BMW’s Automatic headlight control function automatically turns the headlights on. From the rear, the 1 Series Convertible is equally arresting – the bright LED taillight clusters and brake display are intensi ed during emergency stops, immediately warning those behind you to brake.

1Daytime Running Lights can be activated at your BMW center.

In the 1 Series Convertible, even when the outside temperature is less than perfect, you’d never know it. Like its Coupe sibling, the 1 Series Convertible’s climate-control system has three standard ventilation modes: gentle, medium and intense. These react primarily to interior temperature sensors. However, an additional “convertible mode” reacts not just to the interior temperature, but to the exterior as well, when the top is down. It even takes into account the strength of the sunlight and your driving speed to precisely determine the best ventilation setting. So whether the outside air is blistering or chilling, the cabin remains remarkably comfortable all the time.

Born of sharp, precise and innovative minds, the 1 Series Convertible features some of BMW’s greatest engineering feats. Near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and rear-wheel drive ensure sporty handling. The suspension – a stiff yet lightweight aluminum double-pivot front; ve-link fully independent rear – is sport-tuned for amazing responsiveness.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) ensures precise handling and stability in less-than-optimal conditions. Active Steering, an innovative option available in the 135i, automatically changes the steering ratio based on vehicle speed, for steering that’s more stable at higher speeds, and more immediate at lower speeds. It’s advanced engineering like this that keeps the BMW 1 Series Convertible well ahead of the curve.
