2002 BMW M3 Convertible Overview
The new 2002 BMW M3 Convertible is an electric combination
of sporty style and luxurious indulgence. With impressive
specifications all around, this four-passenger delight
will turn more than just a few heads as you tour the
streets and highways on a sunny day with the top down.
Performance is definitely an area where the BMW M3
Convertible shines. Under the hood of the BMW M3 is
a 3.2-litre variable-timing DOHC, 24-valve, six-cylinder
engine with 262 lbs-ft of torque and 333 horsepower.
There are six individual electronic throttles, and the
standard transmission is a fun six-speed manual.
The BMW M3 suspension provides an exciting ride with
excellent handling, particularly in tight corners. This
fact is due to the stiffened dampers, springs, anti-roll
bars, and rear axle modified with a wider track. Drive
type is rear wheel.
The BMW M3 Convertible is loaded with comforts and
conveniences to satisfy even the most discriminating
drivers. Each vehicle is equipped with air conditioning,
cruise control, and a handy keyless entry system for
easy access.
Other standard luxuries on the M3 include a fully lined
retractable soft top with glass window, power door locks,
heated dual power mirrors, and power windows. A theft
deterrent system gives you a little more peace of mind
when you are away from the vehicle.
The interior of the BMW M3 Convertible is finished
with classy leather upholstery, and the front sport
seats are power-adjustable. Heated front seats are available
as a package. An anti-theft AM/FM stereo with cassette
player and ten speakers is standard, and you can add
the optional in-dash CD player in place of the cassette.
Air conditioning and filtered automatic climate control
ensure a comfortable ride, and drivers will appreciate
the cruise control for longer highway drives. The audio,
cruise, and cell phone controls are all mounted on the
three-spoke steering wheel.
As for safety, the BMW M3 Convertible has a rollover
protection system, ABS brakes, limited slip differential,
and traction control. Halogen front fog lights are a
basic, as are a driver depowered air bag, passenger
depowered air bag, and both front and rear head restraints.
Other safety features listed as standards on the BMW
M3 include side impact air bags and side head protection
air bags. As well, each BMW M3 is built with impact
sensors that cut off the fuel, turn on the hazard lights,
and unlock all doors in the event of an impact.
