After unveiling the facelifted versions of the 3 Series Sedan and Touring (E90 and E91), the German automaker moved forward and refreshed the coupe and the convertible versions of its famous lineup.

The BMW E93 represents the cabriolet version of the best-sold model from the German automaker, the 3 Series. It is the last 3 Series model to come as a convertible, as the next generations of coupes and convertibles sell under the 4 Series name.

BMW introduced an LCI for the E46 series in 2003, and the drop-top version was also affected by the new upgrades, which added not only a slightly different look but also better drivetrains and technologies.

After successfully launching the fourth generation of the 3 Series in 1998 as a sedan, customers started to ask about the rest of the range, so the automaker introduced the coupe and the station wagon in 1999, and finally, the convertible in 2000.

BMW introduced the third generation of the 3 Series in 1990 and made it available in more shapes and sizes than before, but it delayed the introduction of the drop-top version until 1993.

BMW unveiled an open-top version for its successful 3-Series in 1986, four years after the model's second generation.
