Photos: 2011 BMW 3 Series Coupe/Convertible M-Sport package

[SSense]

Along with the official photos of the 2011 3 Series Coupe and Convertible, BMW released new shots of the LCI M-Sport package which gives the car a sportier look and more dynamic characteristics.

The front and rear spoilers, along with the side skirts are also ordered separately as an M aerodynamics package and could not be combined with other equipment for the M Sport package. The M-Sport packages offers three different light-alloy wheels in 18 and 19 inches. As usual, upgraded M sport suspension and the BMW Individual High Gloss Shadowline are included as well.

While no photos of the interior were revealed, we have already seen prior to the facelift that inside the M-Sport package includes an M leather steering wheel, aluminum interior trim in Glacier Silver, the roof lining in Anthracite, and sports seats in cloth / Alcantara combination.

Expect to see as well the usual M door sills, M footrests and M gear selector. Only in conjunction with the M Sports package, the Le Mans Blue exterior paint is offered as an exclusive color.

No pricing has been announced at the moment.

Wallpapers: The new BMW 3 Series Convertible

For model year 2010, the 3 Series Convertible goes through some extensive changes, reflected in the exterior design, but especially, under the hood. Starting with the most visible changes, the front lower fascia is now presented with subtle winglets on the air-dam, but more than that, the actual area for air flow is slightly larger than the outgoing design, also allowing for larger splitters at each end of the fascia.

One more styling difference from the previous design iteration; the corona rings are now bright LED units, with the updated E90 3-Series headlights making a convertible and coupe appearance.

At the rear end, there are some important changes as well. First, the taillights are also receiving the LED look and finish. Though they were LED lights before, BMW added their new ‘L’ shaped design theme to an all new, almost E46 LED taillight, underneath the L shapes. Holding the exhaust ports is an all-new bumper with a horizontal expressive line that shows the wide back end.

The 3 Series Convertible and Coupe facelifts receive the N55 inline-6 engine that first appeared on the new 5-Series GT. The powerplant features a single turbo with twin-scroll technology, direct-fuel injection and Valvetronic variable intake technology. The engine continues to produce 300 horsepower and 300lb-ft of torque with a 7,000 rpm redline.

However, the engine now builds peak torque at 1,200 rpm all the way to 5,000 rpm, where the N54 builds peak torque at 1,400 rpm. Peak horsepower is still produced at 5,800 rpm. So not much has really changed, just BMW making more torque available from startup, which is great. Also expect a slight increase in gas mileage due in part to valvetronic.
