With only a few splashes of camouflage around the edges of the lights, the roundel logos and the bumpers, this is by far our best look yet at the all-new 2015 BMW 2-Series Convertible, before it makes a full appearance later in the summer or in fall, with production to start in January of 2015.
A successor to the 1-Series Convertible, the new 2-Series model offers a four-seat layout and an electrically operated soft top that stows away in a special compartment between the rear seats and the boot, the size of which will not be significantly affected compared to the Coupe.
More or less, the same powertrains available on the 2-Series Coupe will be offered on the cabriolet, with the North American lineup to include the rear-wheel drive 228i and the all-wheel drive 228xi, both featuring a 240hp 2.0-liter inline-four turbo, and the RWD M235i with a 320hp 3.0-liter straight-six turbo.
For Europe, BMW will add more models to the range, including the entry-level 220i petrol and 220d diesel.
