The all-new 2007 BMW 3 Series convertible is available in two forms. The 328i Convertible, with a naturally aspirated 3.0 litre straight-six engine. Or the higher-spec 335i Convertible equipped with a 300 horsepower, 3.0 litre, twin-turbo straight-six.

The engine of the 2007 335i Convertible is constructed from lightweight materials helping the car to achieve an almost 50/50 weight distribution. Its low inertia turbocharger internals and high precision direct fuel injection makes turbo lag nearly nonexistent as peak torque of 300 ft lbs starts at a mere 1,400 rpm, continuing to 5000 rpm. With this engine the BMW 335i Convertible is able to accelerate to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 150 mph.

Both the 2007 328i Convertible and the 335i Convertible come as standard with a 6 speed manual gearbox turning the rear wheels. But both models are also available with a 6-speed sequential-auto gearbox which can be controlled via steering-wheel mounted paddles.

The three-piece electrohydraulic powered convertible steel hardtop can be dropped into the trunk in 22 seconds, and raised in 23. For safety the remote control, like the interior roof-mounted control switch, must remain depressed to raise or lower the top. By using the hardtop, BMWs designers and engineered have been able to increase rear visibility by a massive 38 percent over the previous model.

Inside, the front seats of the 2007 BMW 3 Series Convertible come with integrated belt systems and the center console extends all the way to the rear, splitting the rear into two single seats for extra comfort by offering generous headroom thanks to their low seating position.

Over the previous BMW 3 series convertible, shoulder and elbow room have been noticeably increased. Access to the two seats at the rear is facilitated by both the seat release lever fitted at the top of the seat backrest and the 2x-speed fore-aft power adjustment switch.
