Exterior 08 | 09 From the sporty front air dam to the chrome-plated exhaust tips, this is one vehicle that easily attracts attention. A strong shoulder line, long hood, muscular wheel housings and short overhangs announce its proud performance heritage. This is further emphasized on the 135i by its Aerodynamic kit,1 complete with rear apron and black chrome-plated exhaust tips. Whatever adventure you have in mind, the BMW 1 Series Convertible makes it happen – in style. 1 See page 57 for details.

So whenever you’re ready for true ultimate driving freedom, so is the 1 Series Convertible. In just 22 seconds, its fully automatic softtop folds and stows. However, the unique, Moonlight Black softtop1 is so stunning, you just might be tempted to leave it up.
Exterior 12 | 13 HOW TO TURN NIGHT INTO DAY. The 1 Series Convertible shines at night. The dramatic Corona headlight-rings that function as both parking lights and Daytime Running Lights1 are pure BMW. They circle the Xenon Adaptive Headlights, which illuminate the street ahead and to the side with daytime-like clarity, and swivel to show what’s around the corner as you turn.
Exterior 14 | 15 SO INTELLIGENT, IT CONTROLS THE CLIMATE EVEN WHEN THE TOP IS DOWN. In the 1 Series Convertible, even when the outside temperature is less than perfect, you’d never know it. Like its Coupe sibling, the 1 Series Convertible’s climate-control system has three standard ventilation modes: gentle, medium and intense. These react primarily to interior temperature sensors.
Exterior 16 | 17 BMW PRECISION: THE LOGICAL SIDE OF PASSION. Born of sharp, precise and innovative minds, the 1 Series Convertible features some of BMW’s greatest engineering feats. Near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and rear-wheel drive ensure sporty handling. The suspension – a stiff yet lightweight aluminum double-pivot front; ⇒ve-link fully independent rear – is sport-tuned for amazing responsiveness.
Exterior 18 | 19 THE 1 SERIES CONVERTIBLE: A GREAT WAY TO STAY OPEN TO FRESH IDEAS.
Interior 20 | 21 WHO SAYS PRACTICALITY CAN’T BE STUNNING? The 1 Series Convertible’s inviting cabin lifts your spirits. Inside, pearl gloss-accented gauges and controls are intuitively placed within easy sight and reach. You can access frequently used audio selections, addresses and – when equipped with compatible Bluetooth® wireless communication – phone numbers by using the six programmable memory keys in the center console.
WHERE THE LINES ON THE ROAD MEET THE RAYS OF THE SUN. Put the top down and let the sun shine. BMW’s unique Sun-Reflective Technology deflects the sun’s infrared rays, leaving the Boston Leather surfaces cooler to the touch – even in direct sunlight. Choose from five upholstery colors and four attractive trims – Glacier Silver Aluminum, Gray Poplar Wood, Light Burl Walnut Wood and High-Gloss Black. Strap yourself into the eight-way adjustable front seats with two-way headrests.

TRANSLATING POWER INTO PERFORMANCE. BMW engineered the 1 Series Convertible’s lightweight chassis to perfectly harmonize with the engine and transmission. As soon as you start driving, you’re aware of how well it reacts to the road – with precise steering, agile handling and lack of vibration and noise. Further enhancing the quality of the driving experience, BMW offers Active Steering on the 135i – an innovative option that adapts the steering ratio and front-wheel turn-angle to suit the vehicle’s speed.
Safety 30 | 31 #.8ѳ4 ."/: *//07"5*7& *%&"4 )&-1 :06 ."*/5"*/ $0/530- BMW ⇒rmly believes that powerful brakes are just as important as a powerful engine. That’s why the 1 Series is equipped with four large ventilated anti-lock disc brakes, as well as BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system. DSC monitors wheelspin to help keep the vehicle under control and headed in your intended direction.
Safety 32 | 33 4"'&5: *4 "-8":4 */ 5)& 4&3*&4 In the passenger compartment, the strengthened frame around the A-pillars and windshield acts as a rollover bar. Not all collisions can be avoided. That’s why every BMW is designed to help minimize the impact on you, your passengers, and those around you. When BMW engineers developed the 1 Series Convertible, their concern was equally on safety as it was on fun.
Safety 34 | 35 EVEN WITH THE TOP DOWN, BMW HAS YOU COVERED. The 1 Series Convertible is equipped with BMW’s Advanced Safety System. Its highly accurate sensors react immediately to parameters such as vehicle angle, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, or loss of ground contact. This data is evaluated by high-speed electronic processors, which can then determine the best deployment strategy for the many safety restraints throughout the vehicle.
