The BMW 1 Series Convertible turns open roads into exciting concert venues. Subwoofers form the basis of the exceptional sound while the HiFi loudspeaker system enhances this sound with eight speakers.

Two BMW radios and a CD changer complete the entertainment options.
How do you navigate through a library of 10,000 songs? Thanks to the optional USB/audio connection in the BMW 1 Series Convertible, you can integrate your entire music library into the vehicle on-board system. Audio files, menus and folder structures of most standard MP3 players and of USB sticks, iPods and iPhones are displayed on the screen of the BMW navigation system or the BMW Professional radio. The device can be controlled using the keys on the multifunction steering wheel, the iDrive Controller or the BMW Professional radio controls. A protective pocket for digital devices is integrated in the armrest.
iPhone and iPod are Apple Inc brands.
The optional climate control system (standard in the BMW 125i, 135i and 123d) creates a pleasant cabin temperature whatever the season. The optional automatic climate control system with Automatic Air Recirculation includes microfilters, condensation and sunlight sensors and a fast-heating feature, to quickly create a comfortable cabin temperature and to keep it constant. And for even more comfort, the unique convertible mode is able to react intelligently to changing situations. If the roof is open, the interior air conditioning is regulated according to the ambient temperature, sun intensity and driving speed.
Combining outstanding materials with excellent craftsmanship: the standard seats for the driver and front passenger in the BMW 1 Series Convertible offer manual seat height adjustment (electric seat adjustment is optional) and can be effortlessly adjusted to suit practically any seating position. And if you require sporting style, the optional sports seats provide optimum lateral support, thanks to highly contoured seat sides. Seat height, backrest angle, seat angle, forward/backward position and thigh support for driver and front passenger are all electrically adjustable, ensuring the sports seats deliver ideal individual support.
Keeping cool on hot, sunny days has never been easier: Sun Reflective Technology materials incorporate modified dye pigments that reflect light waves towards the infrared end of the spectrum. As a result, the seats, side armrests, leather trims in the doors and side panels, and centre console armrest stay up to 20 °C cooler in direct sunlight than they would do otherwise.

And for those cold, winter mornings, the optional steering wheel heating quickly warms up the steering wheel rim at the touch of a button.
