据《CarAdvice》最新报道，宝马将在今年底发布2系敞篷车。宝马去年10月决定投产1系敞篷车，现在车厂决定用2系敞篷车直接替代它。谍照记者已经排到了正在测试的原型车，该车将于年底亮相。2系敞篷车比原来的1系敞篷车略大，配备折叠软顶，而动力系统则与2系轿跑车共享。该车很可能会在明年1月的北美车展与公众正式见面。有趣的是，宝马澳洲产品经理对《Car Advice》表示，对于2系车，除了现有的轿跑车和前驱家用车Active Tourer外，宝马正在开发另一款车型。虽然他并未透露细节，但表示“该车将续写前代车型的成功”。据推测这款车可能是传言中的M2轿跑车，而它的前代车型1系M轿跑车仅限量生产2700辆。

 

BMW 2-Series Cabrio arriving late this year, another 2-Series model planned

According to a report issued by CarAdvice, BMW will unveil the 2-Series Cabrio towards the end of 2014.

 

BMW terminated production of the 1-Series Cabrio back in October 2013 and now they are getting ready to come out with a direct replacement in the form of the first ever 2-Series Cabrio. Our spies already caught on camera prototypes undergoing testing and it seems the model will come out before the end of the year.

 

It will be a bit larger than its predecessor and will come with a foldable soft top while engine lineup is going to be borrowed from the 2-Series Coupe. A public debut will likely occur in January 2015 at the North American International Auto Show.

 

Interestingly, BMW Australia product manager told Car Advice the company is working on an additional 2-Series model, besides the existing Coupe and front-wheel drive family-oriented Active Tourer. He didn't get into specifics but mentioned it will be "lining up by going in line with the success of its predecessor." A possible candidate would have to be the rumored range-topping M2 Coupe as a successor of the 1-Series M Coupe which was limited to 2,700 units.
