While classic M styling, such as the M gills and chrome-plated steel twin exhaust pipes, helps underline its dynamic presence and elegance. Only the interplay of these measures ensures the desired effect: sports car performance that is ideally suited to everyday driving.

The optional trademark dual M circular dials, the M design iDrive Controller, the ergonomically optimised M seat with memory function patiently await the arrival of the driver. All these features in the BMW M3 Convertible combine to create an ambience that is designed to make drivers feel good - and inspired to take control under the open skies.

Even a cloudy sky can't spoil your driving pleasure. The roof simply closes again as swiftly as it opened, quickly emphasising the vehicle's unmistakably athletic aura. After all, the BMW M3 Convertible just demands to be set in motion - whatever the weather.

The intake hole next to the powerdome feeds air directly to the V8 high-rev engine. The side vents in the front apron help to cool the engine and transmission oil. And the aerodynamic wing mirrors and rear diffuser both contribute to the car's exhilarating dynamics.

The exclusive 18-inch 260M double spoke light-alloy wheels emphasise the dynamic good looks of the vehicle, while the optional forged double spoke 220M 19-inch wheels make for an even sportier look. Both come with high-speed tyres as standard and deliver precise responses in every situation. What's the colour of power? Four M paint finishes are available for the BMW M3 Convertible, all have been selected to underline the exclusive appeal of this high-performance machine. Interlagos Blue, Silverstone II, Melbourne Red and Jerez Black are reserved exclusively for M vehicles. Just as impressive are Alpine White, Black, Sparkling Graphite and Space Grey for enhanced elegance and athletic allure.

Soft leather, an optimised ergonomic design and prominent side bolsters also contribute to the high level of comfort. The electric seat settings for the seat back angle, seat heights, and lateral position are saved in the memory function to ensure a glove-like fit in any driving situation. And for additional stability when cornering, the width of the backrest can also be individually adjusted (optional). Everyday comfort and sporty style are the hallmarks of the interior materials in the BMW M3 Convertible. The exclusive fine-wood interior trim with sycamore mirror-matched grain anthracite is a perfect example. And it feels as good as it looks thanks to the superlative workmanship. In the cockpit, everything is focused on the driver. Quality that can be enjoyed by drivers and passengers alike and makes every trip that little bit more special.
