Germany and Great Britain are the largest convertible markets in Europe. The tough living here? This year, hardness was not required, because to let the spring and early summer provided excellent opportunities to appear on the head of the sun while driving. We used the time in a BMW 330i Convertible, and it was a pleasure - without any harshness.
Maybe with one exception, because the 330i has already received a sporty suspension tuning with stiff on the road. However, he can tolerate in the face of the 200 kW/272 hp from the still as a model reacting spontaneously, silky smooth running six-cylinder. Despite the nearly 1.8 tons of unladen weight of the convertible moves in 6.7 seconds over the 100 km/h mark and gives him a top speed of 250 km/h.
With its fast-acting six-speed automatic, direct and precise working electromechanical steering system, it can move in sports, where we convinced the torsional rigidity. No crackle reminiscent in turns out that convertible bodies can often miss because of the lack of roof strength. For this overall sporting impression of the interior also fits with his well-formed, in many cases - up to the thigh support - adjustable seats.
Different below the waistline is not the Cabrio of the 3 Series sedan, so comes with an elegant ambience shows with the distinctive central console, the wide transmission tunnel with the selector lever of the automatic and the dial for the setting of on-board computer, automotive systems and infotainment, and with clearly-designed round instruments in the instrument panel, well-sorted controls and the grippy, thick, three-spoke leather steering wheel with control buttons for many functions, including the shift paddles for manual shifting.
At the push of his three-part convertible roof panel can disappear under the covers in the trunk. So he loses his true coupe-like appearance, but it turns out, the 3 Series convertible with his acting coach now stretched as one of the most elegant in its class. With the roof disappears but also the cargo hold.
Under the cover are left with the top down only 210 liters of the other 350 liters of cargo space. Open the convertible is only good for one suitcase and a couple of plastic bags stashed sent. Open this four-seat convertible is a two-seater. However, there also shares this fate with his fellow fabric folding roof, where you can mount against the wind, a wind deflector.
Then the two well shaped, comfortable rear seats for storage for luggage that has lost its place in the back. Convertible purists miss when the fabric roof. You can not comforted by the thought that they go with the closed tin roof over the soft top car with a year-round good sound insulation.
We hear that the BMW will recall at the next generation convertible of this class again on their own, good fabric roof philosophy. We'll see. We certainly had our fun on the tin roof convertible, its performance and handling characteristics, its sleek, powerful motor, which in our case, very light-colored leather interior and the emergent abnormally high consumption.
