A test mule for the BMW 1-Series->ke313 Convertible was spotted and captured by those wonderful camera-wielding spies we love so much. The new vehicle features the same styling revisions seen on the Coupe model, meaning the Convertible receives the updated LED technology, revised front bumpers, and restyled air intakes. New exterior colors, wheel options, and interior trims are the newest addition to the popular BMW->ke178. Expect a redesigned M-Sport kit that will also be offered as a separate option pretty soon. Inside, the changes are minimal, mostly centering around new trim options.

The only major upgrade comes from the technology area. The new ConnectedDrive system will be featured in the facelifted model. We expect the drivetrain options to remain largely unchanged for the majority of the lineup. The King of the 1 Series family will be the new 1 Series M Coupe which makes its world debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2011.
