BMW 3 Series Convertible Spied Up Close

We've been a little overloaded with BMW news lately, but we couldn't pass on these choice spy photos of the BMW 3 Series Convertible. These up close and personal shots show off the three-piece, retractable hardtop and how seamless it looks in the up position. Sources say the coupe version will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006 with the convertible to follow sometime in 2007. Why does BMW take so long to launch one of its most popular models?

Also expect the same engines available in the current sedan line-up and an M variant too. Supposedly, the disguised front and rear ends here will be different from the coupe and sedans to offer a "sportier" look.

def looks good. like was mentioned earlier, the top looks seamless, hopefully it maintained some of the rigidity of the coupe.

Much nicer looking then the "ol cloth top" convertibles.

I wonder how much more those puppies will be going for over the base platform?

[bleedhondos]

storage will be compromise and so is the power
