BMW will be giving its 3-Series droptop a modest, mostly cosmetic, refresh for the 2011 model year and we have the latest photos of a thinly-disguised prototype running the streets of the automaker’s home country, Germany.
Fake body panels and black tape are covering large portions of the lower fascia and rear bumper, so new bits of bodywork can be expected there. Modestly changed headlights and taillights also appear to be in the works. We may also see minor revisions to the interior.
It’s hard to say what will happen under the hood or to the suspension; expect some minor upgrades, at the least, but probably not the automaker’s new turbocharged four-cylinders, which are bound for the next-generation 3-Series.
Watch for the freshened 3-Series droptop to go on sale in the second half of 2010.
