The summer season is also the convertible’s season. Just recently, the Volkswagen Corporation has launched their line-up of their eight convertibles to heat up the summer season. Although not showcased as one, this year BMW also released their versions of two-door topless cars to join the summer steam: the 2007 BMW 3 series convertible, BMW M6 convertible, BMW Z4 convertible and the BMW Z4 M convertible (all built with BMW Catalytic converter).
The BMW 3 series convertible is available in two versions, the BMW 335i and the 328i. The exteriors of the convertibles give them a very distinctive style and elegance. Both the convertible has the three roof elements folding conveniently into luggage compartments. To add to its premium looks, the two versions both have distinctive engines of their own. The BMW 335i is engineered with BMW’s newest inline six-cylinder engine with twin turbochargers and intercooler for 300 unbelievable supple horsepower. The 328i convertible has a built in mighty 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that powers up to 230 horsepower with Valvetronic technology and aluminum/magnesium construction.
The convertible version of the BMW M6 is powered by the engine of the BMW coupe only that the passengers will enjoy the open air. It is powered by the 5.0-liter V10 engine that generates 507 horsepower. This powers the car from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds before speeding up to 155mph and if unchecked to 200mph eventually. Crafted with wood-grain trim options and carbon fiber splash, the M6 convertible is impressive sight. Its soft top design is a Fin Structure that has a triple layered hood that assembles like coupe silhouette.
Next BMW convertible in line is the BMW Z4. The BMW Z4 roadster bears the perfect aura of a sports car. Perfected with long bonnet, long wheelbase and short over hangs, the Z4 is no doubt an above standard roadster. A roof that folds in less than 10 seconds, whoever you are, a girl or a boy, man or a woman, the Z4 is the car you would want to be seen in. The engine is a six-cylinder Z4 Roadster that generates a powerful and premium performance. It powers to 195 kW that accelerates the vehicle from 0-100 km/h within 5.7 seconds. The 2.5 liter engine version speeds up the car to 100 km/h within 6.5 seconds.
The M series of the Z4 makes our magic four. This beautiful sports car sports the 3.2 liter, 24-valve inline six-cylinder engine that had been awarded “engine of the year” for five times in a row by an international jury—you’ll go 0-60 within 4.9 seconds. This engine has 330 horsepower at a maximum of 7,900 rpm.
