Product Overview

BMW 1 Series Convertible E88 LCI is a compact convertible in production from 2011 to 2013. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift E88, the LCI brings minor cosmetic changes. The engine lineup hardly changed at all, though the horrible N54 was replaced by the N55. A new 7-speed DCT became available for select models.
