After yesterday we’ve shown you these leaked photos, today BMW released official info and photos of the new BMW M3 Convertible. The fourth generation M3 Convertible features a three-piece retractable hard-top which opens and closes in 22 seconds and has all-round visibility with hardtop closed thanks to large window areas. Also, it’s useless to say that it looks great and features aluminum engine lid with striking powerdome, characteristic front end with large air intakes, widened wheel arches, gill elements in the front side walls, M-specific side sills, rear air diffuser and typical M dual tailpipes.
The new M3 Cabrio is powered by BMW’s 4.0 liter V8 engine which develops 309 kW/420 hp and maximum torque of 400 Nm/295 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm. The engine featurs individual throttle butterflies, variable double-VANOS camshaft control and Brake Energy Regeneration and mated to a manual six-speed gearbox with integrated, temperature-controlled oil cooling, it accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (100km/h) in 5.3 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h), while having a fuel consumption of 21 mpg (12,9 litres/100 km).
Of course, for the interior, customers will be able to choose only the best materials and equipments, like BMW Individual High End audio system with nine-channel amplifier and 16 high-output loudspeakers.
