The 6 Series Convertible Kids' Car, built for ages four to seven years old or up to 110 pounds, comes in a battery-powered electric version or pedal version. Once young drivers get behind the wheel of this miniature marvel - whichever version they choose - they'll sense the fiery spirit of the convertible and shift into overdrive for hours of open-air driving pleasure.

Kids can reach speeds of two to five miles per hour in the electric version, as they take on tight turns and gracefully corner around their favorite playground. The miniature-size electric vehicle also features plastic wheels for handling the playground terrain and an electronic speed indicator so kids can track their pace.

There's no need for a key to start the engine, because this "powered" vehicle is turned on and off with a switch. The electric version features a hand brake that operates when the motor is running and a convenient foot brake that will bring kids to a smooth stop when the motor is turned off.

The battery-charged version offers 90 minutes of uninterrupted driving fun and the battery-charging indicator warns drivers that it's time to take a break and "recharge." The BMW logo is prominently featured on the steering wheel with an electric horn that alerts friends and family of the youngster's latest twists, turns, arrivals and departures.

Kids can take the need for speed into their own hands - or rather their feet - with the pedal version of the BMW 6 Series Convertible Kids' Car. Enthusiasm is key to powering this version, which has a chain crank operation.

Both versions of this top-down convertible replica feature the distinctive BMW front-split kidney grille and a metallic red, painted steel frame with sturdy, plastic body construction. The plastic parts are deburred, so there's no risk of kids encountering sharp edges as they climb behind the wheel and gear up for adventure.

Young drivers can create their own "street" with an assortment of international toy road and traffic signs. The battery-operated traffic light ($30) features a weighted base and flashes from red to green, helping drivers handle any oncoming traffic flow, and the pylon traffic cones ($8 each) can create a fun autocross or a parking area for drivers and their playmates. The hazard, parking and right-of-way signs come as a set of three for $25. The stop, caution, and no parking signs also come in a set of three for $25.

The electric car's dimensions are 55 inches by 21.5 inches by 21 inches, and weighs approximately 37.5 pounds. It operates on 12 volts - two 6 volt batteries, and retails for $425. The pedal model, which retails for $250, is 55 inches by 21.5 inches by 21 inches with an approximate weight of 22 pounds.
