Well we already know that the new BMW 1-Series will be coming to the US in early 2008, but now Automotive News is reporting that according to a BMW source and dealers the BMW 1-Series will launch in the United States with a coupe and a convertible variant. That’s right a convertible variant. BMW has been afraid to sell the 1-Series in the US due to the low price of the compact vehicle but it now seems that with a convertible and a coupe variant BMW can charge a higher price.
