Cheeky: BMW M3 Convertible TV commercial

May 26th 2008 11:15
E92 BMW M3 Convertible


This cheeky television commercial featuring the all-new BMW M3 convertible pokes fun at the Mercedes-Benz SL roadster by making it plain obvious which one is more of a driver's car.





The first scene shows a man in his Merc-SL roadster driving casually with a gorgeous brunette sitting beside him before they eventually pull over at a romantic spot for a bit of night sky star gazing. Someone then hits the rewind button and the same chap - alone by himself - is now attacking the twisties in a BMW M3 convertible and reaches the same romantic spot before dusk.

Moral of the story TV advert? Impress the ladies in an SL but the real driver's car here is the M3!

Disagree? Leave your "SL is classier" and "that wasn't even an AMG version SL" comments below.

Video: Audi A3 2.0TFSI Cabriolet vs BMW 125i Cabriolet

May 7th 2008 11:15

Audi A3 cabriolet vs BMW 1-series cabriolet


UK motoring magazine Autocar has released a video of a short comparison test between two of the newest entrants in the world of premium compact convertibles - the Audi A3 cabriolet and BMW 1-series convertible.

The all-new Audi A3 cabriolet went on sale in Europe earlier this year and is based on the A3 hatchback and features a lightweight fabric roof that can be opened hydraulically in just nine seconds. The design and shape of the car is very 'coupe-like' as opposed to the hatch which it is based on. (see more here).



The BMW 1-series has been on the market for a few years now and it was only late last year that the German car maker released a cabriolet version of the car after a hard-top coupe version was unveiled. (See more here).

In this video, the A3 cabriolet fitted with a 147 kW (200 hp) 2.0-litre TFSI unit goes up against the BMW 125i, which packs a 160 kW (218 hp) 3.0-litre straight six. Watch the video to see who comes out on top!
