It goes without saying that 2010 is announcing to be an eventful year for BMW. Several BMW models will emerge out of the Munich gates, the BMW 5 Series, BMW X3, BMW ActiveHybrid7 and possible the new 6 Series. BMW recently announced that fifteen new vehicles will be available next year, including the life cycle impulse models.

One of them is the 2010 BMW 3 Series Convertible and Coupe which will be receiving a minor facelift. Both the Coupe and Convertible versions will receive LED rear lights, revised front/rear bumpers, and new side skirts.The headlights will get a different “eyebrow”, similar to what we have seen in the E90 LCI.

New side mirrors will also be available in the LCI models.

Inside, the BMW 3 Series Convertible will receive the ConnectedDrive system which allows for in-car internet access. Other minor changes are expected; improved trim and a new center armrest.

Even though not yet confirmed by BMW, several auto publications speculate on the engine offerings: the new N55 or the upgraded N54 engine might be available as well.

The facelifted 3 Series Coupe and Convertible will launch in April 2010.
