The M3’s retractable roof is far more than just
a steel version of a softtop. When raised, the full
roofl iner effectively insulates the interior against
cold and exterior noise. At the push of a button
on the center console, a motor electrohydraulically
begins the process of lowering the top. First, the
roof is separated into three sections, which then
smoothly move towards the rear and stack one
above the other. At the same time, the trunklid
unlocks at the front and swings up. The stacked
roof sections are lowered into a special storage
compartment; the trunklid closes. Total time from
top-up to top-down: 22 seconds. The trunk can
now be opened from the back, and gently closed
using the soft-close feature.
The roof can also be raised and lowered by using
the key fob buttons when the M3 Convertible
is equipped with Comfort Access. This option
also includes the Comfort Opening and Loading
feature: to stow large packages in the trunk
when the top is down, a touch of the remote
button raises the stacked roof up and conve-
niently out of the way, letting you access more
trunk space; another press lowers it back down.
All of which makes the M3 Convertible hardtop
not just one of the sleekest, most beautiful
convertible hardtops on the road today, but
the smartest, as well.
