Now that BMW->ke178 has revealed the BMW 1-Series Coupe and Convertible and the 1-Series M Coupe, it's only natural that artists everywhere are drawing up their renditions of the M-version convertible. We obviously don't expect the convertible to go on sale anytime before the coupe, but we will bet our annual salary that the vehicle will be produced for the eager market.

The 1-Series M Convertible will be similar to its coupe brother, with the exception of its drop top. Other than that, the convertible will feature the same sporty exterior package along with the same engine. Like with the coupe version, the convertible will be offered in three exterior colors: Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic, and Valencia Orange Metallic.

However, before we get the chance to see the convertible version, BMW will unveil the 1-Series M Coupe at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show.

UPDATE 12/21/2010: Check out some new renderings of the future 1-Series Convertible in the gallery provided.
