BMW 335i Convertible After previous model modifications, the 2008 BMW 335i offers several improvements and upgrades and is now available as a convertible. Powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine, the convertible offers 300 horsepower and comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, although a new ZF automatic transmission is available as well. Supposedly shifting 40% faster than other automatic transmissions, the ZF six-speed system offers an easier ride without compromising speed.

The vehicle converts from a sporty coupe to a more liberal convertible in just 23 seconds and what makes the BMW car rental different from other convertibles is that it features a hard top instead of a soft one. Though this may seem like a small difference, the result is a more quiet ride and a sleeker exterior finish that makes it difficult to even tell the vehicle is a convertible.

Accelerating from zero to 60mph in just 5.1 seconds, the luxury car rental is not weighed down by the hard top and can keep up with other sports cars on the market. The weight is managed by fifty-fifty weight distribution as well as an impressive responsive steering system that enables the wheels to move effortlessly underneath the steering wheel.

And it wouldn’t be a true BMW car rental without all the extra luxurious – both inside and out. Standard features include an electronic stability system and 18-inch wheels as well as reflective leather seating that keeps seats up to 30 degrees cooler than conventional leather. This is particularly useful when the top is down and the sun is beating in on the car. Optional amenities include Bluetooth capabilities, fine wooden trims and active roll stabilization.
