25 April 2008 by Adrian Hearn The BMW M3 Convertible goes on sale this weekend, joining the stunning coupe model on the German car maker�s forecourt. And it�s the first M3 Convertible to feature an electronically-operated retractable hard-top roof which will open or shut in 22 seconds. View our slide show of the BMW M3 Convertible For the first time, the BMW M3 Convertible will be available with a seven-speed double clutched gearbox which improves performance and efficiency � as a ?2,595 option. The BMW M3 Convertible features the coupe�s 4-litre V8 engine, which accelerates the cabriolet in seven-speed guise from 0-62mph (100kph) in 5. 1 seconds and on to an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph. Buyers who stick with the six-speed manual gearbox will arrive at 62mph in 5. 3 seconds but still hit 155mph. The BMW M3 Convertible also benefits from the German car maker�s EfficientDynamics programme, which features brake energy regeneration and various lightweight materials to lower emissions and increase fuel efficiency. As a result the M3 Convertible with a six-speed �box will average 21. 9mpg while the seven-speed boasts 23mpg � an increase of 10 per cent over the previous BMW M3 Convertible. However emissions of 293g/km and 309g/km respectively place both models in the top tax band meaning an annual bill of ?400. The BMW M3 Convertible � which is expected to make up a quarter of M3 sales � goes on sale on April 26 with prices starting from ?54,760. The M3 range will be completed when the four-door saloon model goes on sale in the Spring.
