For the convertible, leather seats are made with BMW?s SunReflective Technology leather which uses ?cool pigments to reduce any undue overheating of the seat surfaces when the car is open. Differences in temperature compared to normal leather can be up to 20 degrees Celcius. The new bodykit features a wider front air intake on the bumper, and the turn indicators are now lit by LED and have a crystalline effect.
