BMW’s test drivers don’t seem to have too much spare time. They’ve just been spotted testing the future cabriolet version of the 3 Series.

Though there may be some discussion on the chassis name and the badges, the engine lineup won’t come with too much of a surprise.

Most markets will continue getting the 1.6 liter, 2.0 liter four cylinder and 3.0 liter straight six petrol powered engines. All of them are turbocharged for the first time ever.

Europe and a few other markets will also get a 2.0 liter turbodiesel engine which is going to be available in some four tune levels.

Oh, and for a special treat, the BMW 3 Series Cabriolet will continue to exist with two roof choices. You can have the folding metal roof we see here or a more traditional soft cloth variant.

This version of the car will be unveiled later in the year, sometime around autumn. We hope that by then the dilemma around the 3 or 4 Series name.
