BMW 1 Series Convertible has arrived

The new 1 Series Convertible has arrived in Australia - marking the first premium compact drop-top from BMW in over three decades. The new range flagship 135i is powered a current reigning International Engine of the Year winner - BMW’s 225kW twin turbo straight six.

The four-seater convertible features an electric folding roof which can be operated while driving at speeds of up to 40km/h - on par with the 3 Series Convertible.
