MW UK has announced the first details of the new BMW 1 Series Convertible, the


of the styling and technology from the recently-announced coupe model. The obvious addition is an electro-hydraulic fabric roof that opens or closes in 22 seconds, and at speeds of up to 25mph. The convertible roof is available in clas­ sic black, beige or, as a world first, an innovative anthracite silver fleck which is a fabric material interwoven with fine shiny metallic fibres. Viewed from any angle, the BMW 1


Series genes are clear in the new con­ vertible. In profile, the relationship to the coupe is clear. Both cars share a vir­ tually identical silhouette. Also in common with coupe models.


purchasers of 135i convertibles receive the M Sport aerodynamic package as standard. The 135i Convertible also fea­ tures 17in. light alloy wheels and six- pot brake callipers on the brakes (two- pot on the rear). The interior features stretched hori­


zontal lines that visually dominate the cockpit. With space for four occupants and


305 litres of boot space with the roof up (260 litres with the roof down), there is plenty of room. In line mth the recently launched 3

The BMW 1 Series Convertible Launch This Weekend at Lloyd Colne. The Brand New 1 Series Convertible Now Completes the BMW 1 Series Range.


The New BMW 1 Series Convertible. The New BMW 1 Series Coupe.

The newcomer to the range catches the eye (and the sun) with its unique soft top styling. Like all BMW 1 Senes models, it benefits from the full complement of BMW EfficientDynamics technologies, including a clever


■fuel-saving feature that disengages the alternator when the bpttery is fully charged, reducing the load on the engine and thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions too.


The dynamic styling of the BMW 1 Senes Coupe is complemented by exceptional handling by optimised weight distribution and the use of lightweight engineering matenals. The choice of engines includes the award winning Twin Turbo 3.0-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine that delivers a stirring 306 hp in the flagship 135i M Sport.

from SunReflective Leather Technolo­ gy whenever leather seat coverings are specified. BMW is the only manufac­ turer to offer this innovative twhnolo- gy that uses 'cool pigments' during pro­ duction to reflect infrared rays of sun­ light. This reduces the surface temper­ ature of the seat surfaces. Also carried over from the new


BMW 3 Series Convertible are specific settings for the air conditioning system. Alongside the standard 'gentle', 'medi­ um' and 'intensive' settings, the system recognises when the roof has been opened and defaults to a 'convertible' mode.

sions, the odd swing and miss, in order to get things right, but Nissan’s 350Z was brilliantly right from the start. The formula was simple: a


beefy normally-aspirated V6 engine, drive going to the back wheels, a beautifully- balanced chassis and body­ work that was cleanly styled and which has wom its years supremely well. It is difficult to believe the

350Z came to market way back in 2003, but such has been the sales success that not a lot has needed doing. The engine got a mild tweak for more power, the cabin received a few nips and tucks and there were microscopic exterior changes, but aside from that it was business as usual. The latest car features ah


engine that shares only 20% of its parts with its predeces­ sor and some extensive trim changes. Despite this, it is still obviously a 350Z. Nissan’s VQ35 engine was

This sporty model, with its frameless coupd like doors, has a range of economical petrol and diesel engines including the 118d. Thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics technologies, this engine reaches 0-62 mph in just 8.9 seconds and achieves fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg (combined) emitting just 119 g/km of CO,.


Look beyond the sculpted styling, and you'll find a versatile cabin that includes a flexible 60-40 split-fold rear backrest. As with all 1 Series models, EfficientDynamics is at the heart of the S^door model wHh features like Auto Start-Stop that reduces COj erriissions and fuel consumption by cutting the engine automatically when resting and restarting the moment the clutch pedal is pressed.

voted as one of the top 10 engines in the world for 12 successive years from 1996 and the judges have had it spot on. Smooth, character­ ful and with plenty of torque, this engine has been a^rhauled for 2007, with H^nsive changes to pistons, cunrods, cranks, valve gear and pretty much every other moving part at the business end of this unit.

b.h.p., aided by a twin ram air intake system, the revised engine revs to 7,500 r.p.m. (up 500 r.p.m. on the old unit) yet will develop 90 per cent of its 385Nm torque figure at a mere 2,000 r.p.m.


T probably happens far less often than you would imagine. When it comes to bringing


By ANDY ENRIGHT Handling and ride


remains similar, with lateral grip marginally improved by the standard fitment of sticky Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tyres. Straight line performance remains strong, with 60 m.p.h. coming and going in 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 155 m.p.h. easi­ ly attainable. The steering, while not as weighty as early models, still has some heft at speed and there is still that reassuringly mechanical vibe that travels up the short throw gear lever. The exterior has been left


largely as is. There is a bon­ net bulge to accommodate the slightly taller enginem but Nissan even has a handy historical precedent to fall back on in the comely shape of the 240Z, which also sported a bonnet bulge. The 350Z’s cabin is never going to win any style awards, but it is better built than before and the seats are fantastic. Three additional exterior


paint finishes are on offer. The popular Sunset colour scheme has been pensioned off, replaced by Temper Orange, which contains a waspishly subtle green flip. Gun Metal Grey and Azure Blue are-also ditched, replaced by Twilight Grey and Night Blue. Solid Red, Universal Silver and Ebisu Black continue as before. The interior gets a pale grey finish called Frost, which can also be ordered in Road­ ster form with a contrasting grey soft top. 'There are effectively four


350Z models: Coupe and Roadster in either entry- level or GT form. You will need £26,795 for a coupe and £28,295 on the road for a Roadster with GT versions adding another £2,500 to those prices. Standard trim includes active headrests, anti-lock brakes, switchable electronic stability control


and front, side and curtain airbags. Should you plump for GT trim, you will add heated and powered leather seats, a monster 240W Bose CD autochanging stereo with seven speakers (includ­ ing a lOin. sub woofer and audio pilot noise compensa­ tion) and cruise control. Options include the lairy Alezan orange interior and Birdview satellite naviga­ tion. The genius in the 350Z


and the one piece of equip­ ment fitted as standard to every model is a chassis so good you will feel utterly heroic. Electronic gewgaws, plastics quality, practicality issues and running costs ivill instantly pale into complete irrelevance the moment that you catch and hold your first perfectly balanced drift in the 350Z. Then you will realise what all the fuss is about and you will reflect on money well spent. Nissan quotes a combined


figure of 24.1 m.p.g. for the Coupe and 23.5 m.p.g. for the Roadster, but you will need to be some kind of feather-footed freak to match those figures. • You would expect insur­


ance to be commensurate with a car that can reach 155 m.p.h .and which will jet to 60 mip.h. in 5.4 seconds, most insurers saddling the Coupe with a Group 18 rat­


ing. That is not that bad when


one pauses to consider that an Alfa GT 3.2 V6 is rated at Group 19, as is a Porsche Cayman 2.7, while a BMW M Coupe is Group 20. Think of the Z as being a mere one group higher than a Ford Focus ST hatch and it does not seem too bad at all. With largely unchanged


styling, many will not twig this is a revised 350Z. This bodes well for the residual values of existing cars, while at the same time giving new owners a more muscular and responsive power plant.
