Until now, we only brought you spy shots of the 2-Series Cabrio with the canvas top closed, but as it starts getting warmer in Munich these days, our spy photographers have now caught the 2-Series Cabrio testing with the roof open. The car will be based on the 1‑Series hatchback from which it will borrow its technology and engine lineup. As for its design language, BMW has promised to make the 2-Series a little sportier.
Under the hood, we will only see four-cylinder engines. The engine lineup will consist of a 2.0-litre gasoline engine with 150, 177 or 218 horsepower, and a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine with 214 horsepower. All of the engines will mate to either a six-speed manual transmission or an optional eight-speed automatic. BMW’s now famous xDrive system will be available as an option on the 2-Series, as well. The upcoming 2-Series Cabrio is set to be unveiled in spring 2014.
