BMW3 Series Cabriolet (E93) 2010 - 2013

　　After unveiling the facelifted versions of the 3 Series Sedan and Touring (E90 and E91), the German automaker moved forward and refreshed the coupe and the convertible versions of its famous lineup.

　　In 2009, BMW had to introduce new Euro 5 vehicles on the market to comply with European rules. Since it already had to work on some changes, it went further and changed more than just some engines and some badges. The open-top version also was affected but in a good way.

　　At the front, the carmaker added a new set of headlights, with an even angrier design, and new daytime running lights with two circles around the headlamps instead of encircling only the high-beam ones. Moreover, the front fascia got a new bumper with a wide lower grille. Previously, that was split in three, and it didn't look bad at all. At the back, the 2010 model year sported new taillights with smaller reversing lights.

　　The interior was almost the same, but there were quite a few essential updates that enhanced the driver's experience. For vehicles fitted with an automatic transmission, the gear selector was like a joystick, with back-and-forth movement instead of the classic "slider" movement offered by its predecessor. In addition, the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel were much smaller.

　　Under the hood, the biggest novelty was the 335i version, which featured a 3.0-liter, turbocharged engine.
