2007 BWM 3 Series Convertible

The video is a little boring without the fancy sound effects or any commentry for that matter, but it is rather informative & gives a pretty good idea of the folding roof mechanism, the interior finishes, the exterior lines. Some insight into the road handling can be found, but to me, only experts can tell from the sections where they take the 3 Series Convertible for a spin.

A picture paints a thousand words. A movie clip paints a thousand pictures.

I have been eyeing the Nissan 350Z Roadster for a pretty long time, until i set my sight on the new BMW 3 Series convertible. I always wanted a to cruise along the roads of Singapore, with the roof down & the wind in my hair, with Class 95 playing in the background & my S.O. by my side. A Nissan 350Z Roadster, is frankly quite impractical because it has only 2 seats while the Convertible has 4.

It has a hard top which gives a greater sense of security & of course it is more durable than a soft top which must be replaced every few years at a cost of a few thousand dollars.

The level of interior finishing is definitely above the Nissan & so is the price. I assume it would be around SGD$250000 for the 325i Convertible from what I have seen but my guess is as good as anybody's.

The colour shown in the pictures (champagne gold???) is quite elegant. What do you think is the
best colour for this car?
