2007 BMW 1 Series 118i Convertible Edition

2007 BMW 1 Series 118i Convertible Edition Review :
Exterior :

Summer feeling.
The exterior of the BMW 1 Series Convertible.
During the day, the sun reflects across the long lines of the hood's contour before being absorbed by the convex-concave surfaces and protruding wheel arches. At night, city lights rebound off the muscular profile. When the softtop is open, the focus shifts to the wide and elegant rear. When closed, the impact is compact and powerful. Embodying a unique approach to life, the BMW 1 Series Convertible offers the most inspiring open-top driving experience in its class.

Interior :

In the eye of the beholder.
The interior of the BMW 1 Series Convertible.
In harmony with the exterior, the interior presents a clear, light and agile design which is distinguished by dynamic, horizontal contours that create a formal link between the front and rear. Together with the car's high-quality materials and wide variety of upholsteries and interior trims, the interior design contributes to the feeling of total freedom. And with such choice available, the face of next year's summer is completely up to you. Experience driving pleasure in its purest form.


Softtop :

Freedom movement.
The softtop of the BMW 1 Series Convertible.
Feel the wind at the touch of a button: the electronic softtop opens and closes in just 22 seconds, even while the car is moving at speeds of up to 40 km/h. When closed, the reinforced, integrated rear window helps to better block out noise. With a weight of 1,260 g/sqm, the strong roof material ensures improved noise insulation and offers the same comparable level of winter comfort as a permanent roof. The softtop is also available in anthracite with silver effect lending it a unique sparkling finish.

BMW EfficientDynamics in the
BMW 1 Series Convertible.
Behind BMW EfficientDynamics lies a package of intelligent features which considerably reduce emissions and improve fuel consumption while, at the same time, boosting performance. They ensure that the new BMW 1 Series Convertible sets new standards in terms of the efficiency and economy of its engine: it is one of the first BMWs to offer the new Auto Start Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration and a host of drivetrain modifications. Together, they solve the "power vs. fuel consumption" dilemma in a way that's never been seen before

Delivering outstanding refinement, performance and fuel economy, the straight six-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW 125i combines exceptional power with low weight, thanks to the use of lightweight aluminium and magnesium. In the BMW 135i, the Twin Turbo ensures a smoother power curve, and thanks to High Precision Injection power and TwinPower Turbo, delivery is not only explosive, but also extremely efficient. An impressive 225 kW (306 hp) propel the BMW 1 Series Convertible from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds
