Marvellous-sounding V8 engine, well-engineered convertible, fun to drive.
Licence-losing capability, not enough steering feedback.
If you want a fast, comfortable, sporty, open-topped cruiser, you can't do better than the latest M3 Convertible.
The 3-Series saloon received an excellent five-star rating for adult occupant protection in the Euro NCAP crash test, so there's no reason to suspect the M3 version won't perform just as well.
Naturally, there are plenty of electronic aids on hand to keep the M3 driver out of trouble, but thankfully the stability control can be disengaged by a quick tap of a button on the centre console. In normal setting or in M Dynamic mode it only reacts when you really need it.
Six airbags are provided to protect the occupants: the driver and passenger are protected by front and side airbags, with head/thorax airbags also incorporated into the seat sides, which deploy in the event of a side impact.
The M3 Convertible is also equipped with a rollover sensor system that constantly monitors the vertical and horizontal movement of the car. If the sensors detect that the car is about to roll over, rollbars located behind the rear headrests pop up. At the same time, the front seatbelt pre-tensioners are activated and the head/thorax airbags are deployed.
The metal folding roof will also give you added peace of mind as a convertible owner - there's no need to worry about jealous hooligans with blades slicing into your pride and joy.
