2015 BMW M235i convertible review | road test - Cars Guide
Drop the soft-top and you'll warm to this convertible - even in the cold. Doing it in a convertible in Melbourne in June adds another couple of layers to the experience — not least the fact the trucks funnel the seasonably brisk wind straight at you. Did I mention the top was down and the roads were wet, so that wind was laden with tiny droplets of road grime-infused water. The soft-top on this particular machine — BMW's new and shiny 2 Series convertible — takes 20 seconds to pop out of the boot and clamp on to the windscreen and can be operated at up to 50km/h (not that we'd recommend it). Show a modicum of common... In most other respects it is a typical two-door, four-seat convertible. and the roof's huge side panels and a tiny back window mean rear vision is pretty much non-existent. It is the price you pay for buying a car as a fashion accessory and it is one many people are willing to accept. Love or loathe convertibles, people look at them and/or the people in them. BMW's latest looker has three tiers, from the 220i at $54,900 up to $85,800 for the M235i. The latter is the first BMW convertible to earn the M Performance upgrades and it's the one we're driving to see whether all that power can. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
