Halo cars on the horizon

Skytop convertible to pave the way for limited-edition M Cars and specials

- 

WHILE the next 1 Series is tasked with delivering volume sales, the BMW Skytop convertible will pave the way for more limited-run BMW series-production models, with one eye on an exclusive future halo car for the M brand.

Sylvia Neubauer, vice president for BMW M customers, brand and sales told us: "[BMW's] strategy is to have a series of small-series additions that we offer to the markets. There will be something at Villa d'Este [the annual luxury car show in Italy] this year, and probably some future small-series editions with the 'M' designation".
