In the world of cars takes place BMW a leading role, especially when it comes to combining luxury, performance and modern technology. A particular focus is on the 1 series, which has been a symbol of sporty compactness and dynamic driving pleasure since its introduction in 2004. The 1 Series has gone through several generations and variants over the years, including the coveted Convertible. But BMW is currently still hiring 1 convertible here? To answer this question, let's take a look at the evolution of the model series from the first generation (E87) to the current generation (F40).
BMW 1 Series Convertible (E88)
The first generation of 1 series, identified by the internal series designation E87, marked BMW's entry into the compact class. Especially that E88 Convertible, which was introduced in April 2008, impressed with its open-top driving pleasure and typical BMW driving dynamics. Built in the factories in Regensburg and Leipzig, the E88 Cabrio was a milestone in the company's history by combining sportiness and elegance in a compact format.
With the advent of the second generation (F20, introduced in 2011), the 1 Series saw a significant evolution in design and technology. The new generation brought in again Hatchback model onto the market, with a greater focus on efficiency and space optimization. Despite the popularity of the first generation, BMW decided to Convertible and Coupe (E82) of the 1 series not directly to be continued in the F20 series. Instead, the models were replaced by the new one 2 series replaced with that 2 Series Convertible, which debuted in March 2014 as the spiritual successor to the 1 Series Cabriolet.
The introduction of the third generation (F40), which began in 2019, marked a radical change in the 1 Series' architecture, with the transition to the unpopular front-wheel drive. The current generation focuses on station wagons, meaning the 1 Series appeals to a broader target group. The Convertible from the 1 series, however, can be found in this generation no direct Continuation.
the 2 series now represents the convertible
In summary it can be said that BMW has stopped producing the 1 Series convertibles with the completion of the first generation (E88). The demand for compact, sporty convertibles is now being driven by the 2 series which follows in the footsteps of the 1 Series convertible and continues the tradition of open driving pleasure in a compact format in a modern and technologically advanced package. While the 1 series continues to stand for innovation and driving pleasure, the convertible experience remains firmly anchored in the brand's DNA, now under the banner of the 2 Series models.
