The retractable hardtop on the BMW M3 Convertible.
Enjoy the freedom of open-top driving in an instant. The retractable hardtop disappears in just 22
seconds, leaving you free to feel the sun on your skin along each sporting curve and open straight.
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.

Aerodynamics in the BMW M3 Convertible.
Thanks to intelligent aerodynamics, the BMW M3 Convertible not only slices effortlessly through the
air, but also channels it to where it's needed most.
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 V8 high-rev engine in the BMW M3 Convertible.
Power all the way to the redline - the BMW M3 Convertible's V8 high-rev engine has genuine race-car
character. Every component has been carefully optimised to maximise output and engine speed.
The result? 420 bhp, up to 8,400 rpm, and 400 Nm of torque at 3,900 rpm. And that's not all: the individual
throttle butterflies and engine management system ensure the engine responds rapidly to driver inputs,
translating every touch of the right pedal into instant acceleration.

The M double-clutch transmission Drivelogic in the BMW M3 Convertible.
Taking your breath away but not your speed, the M DCT Drivelogic double-clutch transmission transfers
engine power to the road without the slightest disruption to tractive force. With two transmission structures
the system is able to switch simply between the two, thus providing constant power to the rear wheels.
Gears can be changed without the transmission of power being interrupted using either the paddles, shift
lever or automatic mode for even more dynamic comfort. 0 to 100 km/h takes just 5.1 seconds, two tenths
of a second faster than the manual transmission.
