AUTO SPIES EXCLUSIVE: Hot new BMW cabrio caught being tested

The BMW Group in the United States has grown to include marketing, sales, and
financial service organizations for the BMW brand, the MINI brand, and the
ROLLS-ROYCE brand of Motor Cars; DesignworksUSA, an industrial design firm in
California; a technology office in Silicon Valley and various other operations
throughout the country.



By now everyone has seen the BMW 1 Series Coupe in spy photos, and official pictures will be out in a matter of weeks. But now we've caught the convertible version!



These photos, taken near BMW's new testing center in northern Sweden, clearly show the upcoming 1 Series Cabrio with it's canvas roof. We don't think this version of the thrifty Bimmer will arrive at European dealerships for another year or so, and it's still not known if the 1 Series will ever reach the States.
