Following the regular ACS1 comes the ACS1 Cabrio by German tuning specialists AC Schnitzer. Just like its coupe sibling, the BMW ACS 1 Cabrio has gone through some power upgrades resulting in a range topping 135i with 360 hp, 123d with 240 hp and the 120d with 200 hp.

The additional power comes accompanied with a height-adjustable race suspension, exhaust silencer with chromed tail trims and a speedometer which now measures up to 320 km/h. The interior is adorned with silver-carbon details and aluminium accessories, new gear knob, pedals and velours floor mats.

Needless to say that AC Schnitzer also has a body kit available for the new BMW 1 Series convertible. The front skirt is less rounded than the factory spec 1 cabrio and comes with a diagonal grille insert, the rear now features a new rear skirt lip and diffuser giving the convertible a more powerful look. The ACS1 Cabrio sits on 17, 18 or 19 inch alloy or racing wheels.

Quite impossible to make an ugly car like this look nice...I'd take the engine only.

Yeah, I used to think this car was pretty ugly. It has grown on my quite a bit though, especially with the BMW tii kit that is now available for it. I know rather quite like it, but I'm not sure it deserves to be stereotyped as a chick car, although there's nothing wrong with a chick having good taste...

It's so easy to stereotype a small cabrio as a girls car, but I don't think small 4 seater cabrios are- and anyway it's the big SUVs like XC90 and ML that are the ones that seem to be the most 'women only cars' really... anyhow this is a hot car, if a guy or girl buys this they've got taste

This is an excellent car. Naturally, because it's a BMW.

Great car...but waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced for what you get - and for what you don't.
