 A host of innovations on board the BMW 2-Series Convertible allow it to break new ground in various areas.

And the BMW 220d Convertible gives a diesel unit from the BMW Group's new engine family its premiere in a compact BMW model. 

The 140 kW/190 hp teams up, as standard, with a likewise new six-speed manual gearbox or, as an option, with a further developed eight-speed Steptronic transmission.

The BMW 220d requires just of 4.7 to 4.4 litres of fuel for a journey of 100 km (Steptronic transmission: 4.4 to 4.1 l/100 km), with CO2 emissions of 124 to 116 g/km (Steptronic transmission: 116 to 108 g/km).

The exterior design of the BMW 2-Series Convertible displays the typical characteristics of an open-top four-seater from the Bavarian brand. A sweeping silhouette accentuates the new model's elegance, while athletically formed surfaces underline its sporting qualities on the road. 

Once opened, the electrically operated fabric soft-top stows away fully into the rear of the car, allowing the shoulderline and soft-top compartment to merge harmoniously. 

As the two meet, they wrap a level surface around the passenger compartment that helps to give the car its distinctive "boat deck" character. The typically BMW set-back seating position allows a particularly refreshing open-top motoring experience - intense contact with the sun and wind is another keynote feature of Convertibles from BMW.

When spontaneous open-top driving pleasure is the order of the day, the electrically operated soft-top can be opened in 20 seconds at the touch of a button - and it also closes in the same small sliver of time. The opening/closing process can also be initiated while on the move at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). If the car features the Comfort Access option, the roof can also be opened and closed remotely.
