Cabriolet: body profile

This page contains facts that belong to this body, rather than repeating the complete generation history.

The first 3 Series Cabriolet with a three-piece retractable hardtop, trading luggage volume and mass for coupe-like weather sealing with the roof raised.

Market launch followed in 2007, LCI arrived in 2010 and production continued into autumn 2013. Roof position changes usable luggage capacity substantially.
