2009 BMW M3 Convertible spotted on Nurburgring
It's great to have variety!!!! 
NURBURG, Germany — Recent spy photos from the Nürburgring will reassure drop-top fans that a 2009 BMW M3 convertible is already in the works.
Spy photos clearly reveal the BMW's new retractable hardtop, so speculation should end about the possibility of the redesigned convertible keeping the outgoing M3's soft top in order to maintain a low curb weight.
Following the launch of the 2008 M3 coupe, the M3 convertible is expected to go on sale in late 2008.
Like the M3 coupe, the new convertible will benefit from an all-aluminum 4.0-liter V8 rated at 414 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
What this means to you: BMW is about to unleash some serious fun in the sun.

Exposed: 2009 BMW M3 Convertible
The BMW M3 convertible is expected to go on sale in 2008.
A new retractable hardtop will replace the current M3's soft top.
The M3 convertible was recently spotted while testing on the Nürgburgring.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Recent spy video from the Nürburgring reassured the world that a 2009 BMW M3 convertible is on its way. And here it is.
Like the 2008 M3 coupe, the new convertible will benefit from an all-aluminum 4.0-liter V8 rated at 420 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
BMW claims that 85 percent of the M3 coupe's peak torque is available across a rev range of 6,500 rpm, and says it'll run from zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds.
Previous spy photos revealed the BMW's new retractable hardtop, which replaces the outgoing M3's soft top.
Following the launch of the M3 coupe, the M3 convertible, shown here in artist-altered photographs, is expected to go on sale in late 2008. A new M3 sedan will join the family as well.
What this means to you: The wait for top-speed, top-down BMW fun is almost over.
