E93 Introduction - BMW 3-series convertible Complete Vehicle Workbook

E93 Introduction

The new E93 is the latest in a long line of 3-series convertibles
from BMW starting with the E30. Since then, the 3-series
convertible has evolved from a cloth top to the current retractable
hard top (RHT).
The RHT consists of steel roof panels which fold and stow away
into the trunk.
As far as vehicle dimensions are concerned, the E93 is longer,
wider, taller and has a longer wheelbase.
The E93 is also heavier than the E46, but maintains the same
sporty characteristic as it's predecessor.
