The demand for a new sports model to provide comfortable travel did not go unheeded by BMW. The new sports convertible fulfilled the desires of the most sophisticated customers. The headlamps were harmoniously integrated in the front, the contours along the side with their elongated beautifully flowing lines, highlighted by tastefully contrasting two-tone paintwork, and the gently tapering rear end with partially skirted rear wheels, created one of the most elegant designs available in German coachwork styling. Even the roof looked stylish whether it was closed or open. Today, the sports convertible ranks among one of the icons of BMW's history.
