BMW 320Cd Convertible (E46)

The BMW 320Cd Convertible was introduced at the same time as the BMW 330 Cd Convertible and represented an even greater trailblazing breakthrough. Not only was it a convertible powered by a diesel engine (which would have been unusual enough) but it was also designed with "only" four cylinders. These cylinders actually delivered an output of 150 hp with very fuel-efficient consumption (5.7 litres per 100 kilometres) and coupled with an appealing six-speed manual gearbox they were the perfect choice for enthusiastic convertible drivers. Many of the fans recognised the concept as extremely bold but the reality was that it only attracted a limited number of buyers. Only approximately 5,400 units were produced and the BMW 320Cd Convertible is therefore somewhat of a rarity.
