Last week’s BMW released official info on the 2008 BMW M3 Convertible and we thought that was the end of it. It was another stunning car in the M-lineup. A few days ago, official video footage of the car has surfaced.

Sporting a monstrous 309kW 4.0-litre V8 engine which happily revs to north of 8000rpm, buyers will have the choice of either a six-speed manual or the new seven-speed M double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic.

Best of all though, the new M double clutch transmission out-accelerates its manual alternative in the sprint to 100km/h – done away with in just 5.1 seconds.
