Shipping 3 Series convertible, for the first time, is available with a 3-piece folding aluminum hardtop roof. The new convertible is also the center of many new technological advancements for BMW as well as the recipient of many existing safety and performance technologies that have been improved upon for the new model. The new 3 Series convertible improves upon BMW's "Comfort Access" option, by allowing the user to completely raise and lower the folding roof by simply pressing and holding the respective buttons on the key fob.

The two-door iteration of the 3-Series became available in August 2006 and premiered as a 2007 model. It is the second BMW coupe offered with BMW xDrive, BMW's moniker for all-wheel-drive, after the 325ix of the late '80s and early '90s. The coupe's body is its own design and no longer derived from the saloon with two less doors like its predecessors, being longer and narrower than the E90 counterpart.
