Exceptional refinement roof up or down, ride quality, build integrity.
Huge weight blunts performance and driving enjoyment, disappointing looks.
A fine car and better than its immediate rivals, but still asks the owner to pay a considerable dynamic penalty for the pleasure of top-down motoring.
This is where the 335i Convertible shines. Excellent seats, fabulous ride quality, an almost complete absence of scuttle shake and first-class wind management mean this is a superlative long-distance, top-down tourer. Long gearing coupled with the engine's torque makes the car feel truly effortless, while an excellent driving position and well positioned controls help keep driver fatigue at bay for hours.
All the safety items listed above are standard, as are electric seats, 17" alloys and a multi-function leather wheel. Navigation and sun-reflective leather are options, as are active cruise control, automatic gears and BMW's pointless active steering.
