Al Jenaibi International Automobiles, the official BMW Group importer in Oman, has launched the most emotive, classy and agile car in its segment – the BMW 2 Series Convertible. Taking driving pleasure into a new dimension for a drop-top model in this class, the four-seater is the successor to the BMW 1 Series Convertible and builds on the strengths of the most successful premium car in its class.

The third car in the all-new BMW 2 Series line-up, the Convertible joins the Coupé and Active Tourer models at the importer’s showroom in Al-Qurum.With its overall dimensions increased over those of its predecessor, the BMW 2 Series Convertible combines the sporting and athletic shape of the BMW 2 Series with the elegance and aesthetics of an open-top BMW.

Commenting on the arrival of the BMW 2 Series Convertible, Divyendu Kumar, Managing Director of Al Jenaibi International Automobiles, said: “The BMW 2 Series convertible reflects outstanding agility, impressive comfort and is refreshingly dynamic. It is the epitome of premium and offers all the qualities that our customers ask for in a car.”

Eye-catching, graceful design and a low waistline, which emphasises the car’s “boat deck” character with the roof down, serve up a distinctive appearance and a refreshing brand of open-air driving pleasure. The electrically operated soft-top roof can be opened or closed in 20 seconds when travelling at a speed up to 50 km/h. A new folding mechanism and revised headliner ensure a considerably more elegant, high-quality look from inside and out. Noise insulation has also been significantly improved.

The BMW 2 Series Convertible also offers innovative equipment features as well as increased space, comfort and functionality and a more premium character for the interior; a combination of contemporary aesthetics and sportiness with convertible-specific functionality, high-quality materials and exceptional workmanship. In addition to a multitude of BMW ConnectedDrive features, the BMW 2 Series Convertible includes an exclusive new addition – it is the first model to offer the new-generation Navigation System Professional, which allows navigation data to be updated “over the air” via the embedded SIM card.

The BMW 2 Series Convertible will be available on launch with a choice of three engine variants, all members of the latest BMW Efficient Dynamics generation and with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The BMW 220i Convertible 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine has an output of 184 hp and top speed of 231 km/h. Meanwhile, the BMW 228i Convertible 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine with 245 hp has a top speed of 250 km/h. The sportiest and most powerful model variant comes in the shape of the BMW M235i Convertible M Performance featuring a 3.0 litre BMW M Performance TwinPower Turbo straight-six engine. With an output of 326 hp to deliver 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds and a specially tuned M suspension, it delivers characteristic M dynamism and power.
