The 2 Series Convertible (F23) is coming at the beginning of 2015 and we’ve got photos a M235i convertible in nearly fully uncovered form.
The US market will receive the 228i, 228xi and M235i convertibles. Production of demo/dealer models will begin this November and customer cars begin in January 2015 (per the 2015 model year schedule).

As our newest photos show, the 2 Series Coupe (F22) sure has grown up from the current 1 Series Coupe (E82). The 3.1 inch gain in overall length and 1.2 inch longer wheelbase (see dimension/specs comparisons) appears to come mostly in the front, elongating the front end and giving the F22 a sleeker look overall.
